The building committee OF the Fraternal
Order OF Eagles held an important meeting
at the Commercial club rooms last night to
consider the proposition OF a site for the
proposed $4,000 aerie building. Bids were
received for fifteen or moro prospective
sites. ranging in price from $4,000 to 5000.
Most OF these were located on Twenty
fourth street. The committee. after due
consideration selected six propositions to
present to the order as their choice. The
several properties were tho ]. F. Good
property, north Of the Packers National
bank; tho o'Neil-McCrann property, south
Of the city hall; the Carpenter property,
between o and N on Twenty-fourth street;
the McCrann residence and property; the
John Doe property, at Twenty-fourth and
streets and the Harry Lavender prop
erty on N street, between Twenty-fourth
and Twenty-fifth.
The South Omaha Eagles have men,
bership of over 200 and a building FUND OF
s., 600 in the treasury. 1t Is proposed to
buy q site in a favored business locality
aud locate there a three-story building.
The lower floor is to be rented for store
purposes and at the rear PROBABLY thea
ter. The second floor will be the club
rooms and probably some business offices.
The third floor will be the lodge room
and its accessories.
1t is proposed to issue stock for the
building and this will be sold to the men,
bership. Some OF the propositions for
site include payment in stock In the
building.
1t will probably be a full year before the
work Of erecting the building will be be-
gun. by that time the surplus Of the regu-
lar dues will amount to another slow or
more and the rental Of property, II such Is
possible, on the proposed site may yield an
income of about the same.
The lodge will meet during the coming
week to consider the recommendations OF
the building committee on the matter Of
the site.
