Begin Campaign for New Armory.-
Plans for the raising of between $43,-
600 and $4,000 for a new armory and
drill grounds for Battery B found
their inception in the first meeting of
the new armory board of the CONNER
cial club yesterday noon when Reed
Lane was appointed chairman of the
| finance committee and the building
plans Of A. NJ. Compton, captain Of
the battery, were approved. The ar
mory board plans to raise large part
Of the necessary funds by subscription
from the leading business and finan-
cial men of Davenport and then to call
a public meeting and throw open the
lists to popular subscriptions in small
err amounts. This general meeting will
probably be called within the next 10
days. The board believes that the ar
mory should be constructed at once.
1t will probably be so financed that all
the necessary funds will be raised be-
fore construction is commenced and
title to the property will probably be-
vested in holding company. 1t is
planned to locate the armory on 10
or 12-acre tract in the western part
Of the city near a trolley line. There
will be three inexpensive buildings, a
headquarters locker and quartermas-
ter's building, the second structure to
be the stables and the third a large
drill hall 100x150 feet in dimensions.
