LAND BUILDING
Legion Authorizes Committee 10
Prepare Plans For
Home

Definite plans for financing and
tentative architectural sketches for an
American Legion building will be pre-
scented to the next regular meeting OF
the Loren M. Trotter post of the Am
erican Legion in accordance with the
wishes Of the members expressed at
meeting held Monday evening. Ad-
ditional members will be added to the
standing building committee. Sever
al proposals were laid before the meet
ing and freely discussed. Majority
sentiment favored the erection of a
building to include plunge, gymnas-
ium and club rooms if means could be
found to finance it. Included in the
report which the committee will make
at the next regular meeting will be a
summary Of the probable expense and
income of operating the building.
Drawing for the piano which the
Legion is rafting off has been post
poned until next meeting. This ac-
ton was necessitated because many Of
the tickets sold had not been deposited
| in the ballot boxes and because many
of those who were selling tickets had
made no report so that it was impos.
sible to determine how many ticket.
had been disposed of.
