E. NJ. Nicely has recently sold his
residence property on West street to
l.. s. Long, manager of the Bijou
theater
Announcement is now made that the
Grinnell Club has given up it's long cher
ished plan of owning and remodeling
the old j. B. Grinnell residence property
for use as modern club house for the
reason that it has not been found feast
BILE to get together a sufficient number
of members TO handle the proposition
satisfactorily. The present ownership
is said to reside in a few OF
the "Poweshieks" and just what dispo-
sition is TO be made of the historic ole
mansion has not been made public
Many people outside the prospective
members of the club are disappointed
at this turn of affairs because the
taking over of the property by the clut
would have been a guarantee of its i'm
provement at an early date, and II
such a way as would have kept pace
with the many and costly improvements
in the city in general.
