SAENGERbUND MAY
BREAK GROUND soon
Treasurer Duelke Shows Flattering FL
nancial Report With $4,000
In Assets

There is probability that ground
for the Hammond Saengerbund Fidelia
club house will be broken this year. An
effort will be made within the next
week or two to dispose of some large
buyers. which may bring the building
fund up by possibly $4,000 within
short time.
Figuring the Increased value of the
Saengerbund's lot on Muenich court.
the assets OF the organization at the
present time can well be said to total
about $4,000. and with the prospect
of selling several thousand dollar
worth of additional stock many of the
directors feel that they are warranted
to proceed at once with the building
itself Some of the directors, on the
other hand, take the position that all
building plans should be deferred until
such a time when the assets will bs
large enough to warrant the building
OF a club house costing not less than
$4,000
The credit of the organization is gilt
edged. its management Is in the hands
of representative business men who
are known to be most conservative.
and under these circumstances those
who would like to see the building be-
gun this year say that the original
plans for a club house can be carried
out without skimping.
Otto Duelke. treasurer of the buidl-
ing organization, has prepared a fnan-
cial statements to date for the benefit
OF the stockholders. which briefly is as
