INCORPORATE
FOR BUILDING PURPOSES
Work of Collecting Funds for Club
House Will Begin at
Once

The Los Angeles Teachers Building
association, which probably will be in
corporated this week, promises to be
one of the most novel and commenda-
BILE enterprises ever undertaken by the
educational interests of Los Angeles.
The subscription of stock in the pro-
posed Incorporation will be begun
among the public school teachers of the
city as soon as possible, and when a
sufficient amount has been obtained the
association will build the teachers cen
tral club house, where they can meet
frequently and become socially ac-
Quainted.
The subcommittee of the associated
teachers committee, composed of twen-
ty-fve teachers, already has concluded
its financial plans, and only the sub
scriptiOnS now remain TO be taken.
The subcommittee includes such well
known instructors as j. H. Francis,
principal of Polytechnic high school;
Sidney V. Good, director of compulsory
education, ana Henrietta Glissman OF
the Ninth street school,
This committee has reported that the
prospects for success are exceptionally
favorable, and the central committee is
urged to select the site for the new
building, which the committee believes
should be purchased at once, before
property values are increased.
The financial plan has been presented
to the teachers by the committee,
through the central committee. In part
it provides:
THE capital stock of this organiza-
ton shall be 100000, issued in shares
the par value of which shall be $50
each Only a sufficient amount of this
stock shall be issued to finance the
business undertaken by the organiza-
ton.
1T is proposed to offer this stock to
the Los Angeles teachers at the earliest
possible date, and as soon as a, suft1-
cient amount of it is sold, to invest in
real estate within the territory bounded
by Seventh and Washington, Main and
Union. The object of the committee
shall be to purchase land that prom
ises a material rise in value within the
next few years. After such land is OBJ
tanned the two following propositions
will be submitted to the stockholders;
Ito build on the site purchased a
temporary club house at cost rang
ing between $4,000 and $1,000, on the
bungalow plan, which will meet the
needs of the teachers for the next few
years, and obtain as early as possible
another location upon which in time to
build a permanent club house that
shall be an honor to the teaching force
of this city throughout the years. The
rise in value on the original lot when
sold to cover material part of the
cost of the permanent building.
