The South Omaha Country club bond
proposition is about ripe and after the
next regular meeting OF the board, which
Is 10 be held the first Friday evening in
August. the board OF directors will begin
the active campaign Of selling the bonds.
These are issued for the purpose of pur-
chasing the present golf ground and club
house to liquidate all the Indebtedness for
the club house construction and to add
necessary improvements. such rs perma-
nent water supply. The club holds such
an advantageous option on the club
grounds that the proposition to purchase
should be remarkably attractive. Each
purchaser OF a bond would be secured by
real estate twice the value Of the bond.
These bonds are to be issued in denomi-
nations Of 800 each and II In to be hoped
that the members will each purchase a
share. After this opportunity has been
given II is proposed, II necessary to sell
the rest Of the bonds in . lump to any one
whether members OF the club or not. The
bonds pay per cent, Some members have
already pledged SO the half OF the issue
IL practically sold. The interest on the
bonds at 5 per cent will cut the annual
dues Of the members who hold bonds to
a very nominal figure. II is assured that
the club will at once assume permanent
life with the purchase Of the grounds.
Should II ever be advisable to close the
club the property values assure that each
member holding a bond will receive twice
the amount paid in.
with such a proposition the board Of d.
rectors feel confident that all the issue OF
bonds will be taken up at once.
