Ever since il was organized, seven OF

nently identified with the club even i'll
the days when there were only nine
holes and has done big things for the
club in past years \ year or two ago
the course was heightened to eighteen
holes, but the members felt that things
ought to move a little more swiftly ana
that the development of the course
could be quickened.
When the nominating papers were
announced A. l.. Hallstrom, head of the
Jovlan Electrical League, headed the
ticket. a number of Mr., Meehan's per-
sonal friends felt that he was entitled
TO another term and new ticket was
presented by petition. but when the an
nual election was held Mr. Hallstrom
and his associates were the NictorS
There was nothing personal In the fight
for honors. and while the members real
lied that Mr.. Meehan had done lot
for the club, they believed change In
the presidency might prove beneficial
Mr. Hallstrom IL hustler in his own
business and Is full of pep and ginger.
He IL an enthusiastic golfer and feels
that the course has not been developed
as il should have been. One of the plans
Of the new administration will be the
floating of l 100000 bond issue to finish
the eighteen-hole course and to make
other necessary improvements. The
members believe the great trouble last
year was the effort made by the old
board 10 keep twenty-seven putting
greens going, with the result that most Of
them were not In good playing condition.
The course is laid out over an inter-
esting stresch of ground. and a number
of holes. particul lrly those In which the
quarries figure. are exceptionally good.
II Is very probable that Mr.. Meehan
~ill be retained on the board, as the
club reeoenises ana appreciates the time
