Mankato lodge of Elks, at their
meeting last evening, decided upon the
purchase of the Young Mems Invest
ment corner, and will erect building
thereon within a short time
Several sites and buildings had been
offered the lodge, but the committee
of five recommended the above site
as being the most available, and the
lodge voted unanimously for its pur.
chase.
The lot is located at the corner of
Second and Hickory street, and is
66x72 feet
Some eight years ago the building
on the lot was destroyed by fire, and
a portion of the walls and foundation
have remained standing.
The purchase price was $6000 Ac-
cording to a report submitted by the
committee there is salvage of $3,4OO
in walls, foundation, basement and
other things, which reduces the cost
of the property to $1,000.
Will Erect Handsome Structure.
Within the next few days a COM
mittee will be appointed from the Elks
lodge who will have plans drawn for
a building, and it is thought that the
work of erecting a handsome structure
of either two or three stories will be-
gin next month.
Mankato lodge of Elks now has a
membership of about 500, and the roll
is constantly increasing. The pur-
chase of site and the erection of a
building is in keeping with the pro-
gressiveness of its membership, and
they are to be commended for their
determination to have home of their
own. The Free Press understands that
the new building will be devoted ex-
clusively to lodge purposes.
