Germans to Build
New Concert Hall

Construction Of concert hall is being
proposed by the Musk Verein. which wa
recently organized to combine all Of tht
German singing societies in Omaha. Thu
matter Of building was suggested at a
business meeting Of the yerein held Mon
day evening. 1t is felt that sufficient
money to build a concert hall could be
readily secured from the members Of the
organization, and plans looking toward
that end are now under way. One plan
is 10 buy a building and remodel 1t TO suit
the needs Of the organization, and the
other plan is to erect an entirely new
building. Plans will take more definite
form as soon a report can be made on the
amount Of money that could be raised.
The recently elected officers OF the
yerein were installed at the meeting last
evening, and the ceremony was follOWeC
By a social hour of song and speech. Tn
new officers are: Otto StrehlOw. pres
dent: DR. r S. Lucke, first vice pre-.
