Wausau pilot. [volume] (Wausau, Wis.) 1896-1940, 1901-05-14
$4,000 RAISED AND THE WAUSAU
CLUB A SURE THING.

The promoters of the Wausau CLUB,
met last Friday evening, in the law
offices of Ryan, Hurley & Jones. This
was strictly meeting of the sub
scriDers to the fund which was being
raised to purchase a site and erect
club house, and was called by G. ,.
Curtis, president of the club.
The meeting was called to order by
Mr.. Curtis, who, made statement as
| to the manner in which it had been de-
termined to finance the enterprise,
detailed account of which was given in
the last issue of the PILOT. He further
made the pleasing announcement that
| S15, 800 had been raised and that this
amount no doubt, would be raised to
$4,000, when all who expressed wish
| to subscribe had done so. As per the
terms of the subscription papers, which
had been passed around, when Sl5,O
had been raised, the subscribers were
to be called together, site selected and
details agreed upon, so the meeting was
called for that purpose.
E. A. Gooding was chosen secretary
of the meeting. The different sites on
which the committee had received
options were considered, and after
brief discussion it was voted to take the
old Il. Z. Manson homestead at the cor
ner of Fourth and Mcclellan streets,
which had been offered at S., 800. This
site is composed of three lots or 120x1S0
feet. 1t is only one block from the
Court House square and, is, indeed, the
handsomest property in the city. On
the same are many large shade trees,
such as could not be grown on any
other site short of twenty or thirty
years.
The officers of the Club were, by vote,
authorized to close the option and pur-
chase the property.
ID. L. Flumer was selected trustee for
the stockholders and a committee OF
five, with G. S. Curtis as chairman, was
authorized to be appointed as a build
ing committee, to secure plans and
specifications and 70 attend to the de-
tails of the construction of the Club
house. Such committee is as follows
C. J. Winton, John Ringle, B. Heine
mann and G. B. Bird.
The bond holders meeting adjourned
and a meeting of the Club was called.
On motion all the subscribers to the
bonds were voted charter members of
the Club, but this was not to exclude
others from becoming charter m embers
whether subscribers to the bonds or
not.
Such, in brief, were the proceedings,
which made the Club house a certain
ity for Wausau, and to Mr. Curtis tire
less energy and unbounded enthusiasm
are those interested indebted for the
successful launching of this most COM
mendable work.
Below the PILOT publishes, in full,
the articles of interpretations of the
Club which were filed with the Register
of Deeds last Saturday:
