With all the money needed to erect
palatial club building practically as
sured already, the lot which lies east

soon be broken and another elegant
structure will be begun without delay.
The building will be a beauty, six
stories high and will be right at home
among all the sky scrapers now being
erected.
Prolonged cheering was brought out
by President Halloran who, when
speaking for the club said: I'VE will
start the building just the minute we
get all the money needed in sight and l
