raph at a cost not to exceed S75. In
explaining this matter Mr.. Ottens stat
ed the machine was undoubtedly worth

would attempt to get 1t at $50 or less
but would not pay over $40. The
machine has been installed in the club
for the past ten days and has been very
popular with visitors who keep it run
ming m, st OF the time. The music |,
loud and Is q decided benefit to the
club, and would undoubtedly pay fol
itself in nickles the first season. Mo
ton was carried.

sufficient iron pipe and wire to erect a
tennis court on the grounds of the club
house be provided. Mr.. Ottens stated
that he would pay one-half the cost OF

MIR. Ottens as a special committee to
repair the cement walk In front Of the
dock and remove the old board walk
and pilings stated that the men would
be at work on this proposition within

was instructed to seee that the sign was
made and erected.

a black board be erected for the purpose
of chslking events thereon. The sug-
gestion was considered a motion and
adopted by the club.
Mr.. Ottens and Commodore Brennan
as q bulldog committee stated that
while lumber had been hauled to the
club to start the annex 1t had been i'm
possible for Mayor Frank e. Smith, of
Wild wood, to obtain carpenters to start
building, and in as much as the con-
tractor was to have the building COM
pleted by the 20 tn OF June, it was very
evident that he would fail to carry out
his agreement. 1t was ordered that
the building committee get after the
contractor and have him mmence on
the building as it absolutely must be
com pleted and ready for occupancy by
July LIST.
