The full membership of the Har-

10 pass on the proposition of erect
ing u new clubhouse to replace the
one that was burned last winter, be-
cause of the fact that bids submit
ted for its construction are far in

This announcement was made by
ED s. Herman, president of the
club. There is a difference of be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 between
the high and low bids, all of which
are considerably higher than the
architects estimate had been. 1t is
expected that decision will bo
made within the next week.

The aviators state that they have
complained on several occasions
that the planes supplied them were
poorly equipped for flying, even IN
good weather, because of their h1gh
speed. They said they desired light
er and slower machines, as in misty
or foggy weather the visibility was
so poor as to make high speed dan

He refused to discuss the situation

Hamilton Lee, one of the dis
