SEVERAL LODGE HOMES TO Be
Knights Of o'umbus Lates, to Join Move
msnt for Exclusive Buildings.
Will RAISE FEES WITH THAT END IN WEN
EIks, Eagles, MasOns and knights
Are Planning on Erecting
Buildings for Their
own Use.

At meeting Tuesday evening Of the
knights of Columbus it was decided inn
mediately to begin to formulate plans to-
ward the end OF erecting a home for the
local lodge in Omaha which now occupies
rooms in the Edward Creighton institute,
near Seventeenth and Farnam streets,
With this aim in view 1t has been de-
cided to increase the dues of all members
OF the order and raise the initiation fees
The surplus funds derived from these In
creases will be set aside for the new build
ing fund during the ensuing year and a
site viii be bought when the amount col
lected from the increased dues warrant
such action.
II has long been the ambition of the
knights TO own their own lodge building
and club house, as is done by other lodges
OF the organization in eastern and several
western cities. some Of which are smaller
than the Omaha lodge.
Building L. Needed.
With a large increase In membership
during the last year the need for new and
larger quarters has become imperative and
even the present -4OO-warrants
the erection Of the new lodge homo.
Several other fraternal organizations
have started a movement for exclusive
lodge buildings. The matter has been I'M
der consideration for some time by the
MasOns, with which are affiliated the
Scottish Rite members and the Knights
Templar. The Scottish Rite organization
now has 5000 in hand 20 be used as a
building fund and this was increased at
the recent ceremonial session at the Audi
toriu by $500. --
1t is desired by the Masons and affiliated
organizations TO obtain $4,000 in cash or
pledges before definite action is taken
toward securing a new building or a site
for its erection. II is hoped that this VII
be accomplished within one year. when the
site will be bought and decisive action taken
regarding the erection OF the new lodge
home.
EIks Raising Funds.
The local lodge OF the Benevolent and
Protective order of Elks Is now raising
funds by stock subscriptions for a new
building. The Incorporation plan has beer
followed by the Elks with great succesa
and similar plan is under way by tn,
Eagles. whose building plans are beginning
90 assume definite form,
Much OF the stock to The Eagles build
ing fund has been subscribed and tn,
building committee OF the lodge is goini
ahead with plans for the home A site a
Ghe southwest corner q Eighteenth stree
and Capitol avenue was bought and al
architect has been engaged to prepare plan
and specifications.
The Eagles are more advanced with thei
building plans for their home than are an,
