Committee Fails 10 Make Choice

tons were submitted by the committee
on the selection OF a new site for the
Columbia Golf Club, nothing OF impor-
tance developed ar the meeting OF the
board q governors in the rooms. OF the

Il viii be remembered that some weeks
ago the officials OF the club made a
statement 10 the effect that they in
tended TO look into the advisability OF

suitable places were found 70 be avail
