An important meeting Of the member
ship Of the South Omaha Country club
was held Thursday night at the club paVil-
ion. The object Of the meeting was to discuss
Ways and means of purchasing the club
grounds and lifting the Indebtedness. A
committee was appointed at a meeting
early in the summer to work out this
problem. The committee recommended the
issuance Of bonds for the purchase of the
property. This move appeared feasible to
the general body and the report Of the
committee was approved and the
continued for sixty days. a subcommittee
was appointed to appraise the improve
ments on the club grounds, which will be
taken in as part Of the assets.
The meeting was attended by a fair
turnout of members. AS Is well known
by most Of the members the club grounds
are simply leased to the club for five
years, with an optional purchase at the
end Of that period. The price stipulated
in the terms of the option was 1900 per
acre. 1t is confidently affirmed by many
real estate men of South Omaha that this
land is already worth nearly $500. The
purchase of the land therefore would at
any time be a paying investment even II
the club should disband and the property
was prorated to the holders of the bonds
