TO BE USED TO

Country Club building to its condition
before a fire Sunday almost destroyed
1t, providing no more money ID spent
than is received in the insurance settle
ment, was reached by the board of park
commissioners today In a conference
with representatives of the club. The
city owns the club buildings and the
forty eight-acre golf course adjoining
Tho club holds tcn-year lease, year
and a half of which has expired.
In a discussion of the policy of re-
storing the clubhouse, Commissioner
Sarah Shank, wife of the mayor, objected
To putting any more money In tho build
ing than Is received in insurance. The
board should spend its money on play
grounds and Improvements to benefit the
masses, she held. The other commits
sioners agreed with her. President C.
A. Bookwalter said he believed it wise
To restore the clubhouse. however, since
it will be in good shape for the city
when 1t comes into municipal possession
at the termination of the lease, and since
the Woodstock Club Is paying 5000 q
year rental on the property.
The clubhouse is worth approximately
$4,000, officials of the club said. 1t and
the land was purchased approximately
two years ago by the city Tor SIoO,tuo.

bond issue The fire damage is estf-
mated at around $4,000. The city has
$4,000 insurance upon the property. Tbs
board will seek TO recover all the In
surance. lynn 3. Millikan, building
contractor, was named as the boards
representative in negotiations with In
suranee adj lstors.
Under the lease the Woodstock Club
pays tho city 5000 year the frs five
Aears of the lease and $1,000 year the
st five years Iris meets the bond in
terest. Meanwhile the property is kept
up by the club Mr.. Bookwalter said
this was of value TO the city since 1t
would be turned Ger TO tho city in per
feet condition. He said the city nccds
more public golf courses.
Golf has come to be disease, said
Mr.. Bookwalter. 1T is like locomotor-
ataxia, it is progressive and once you get
1t You never get rid of it. More people
are getting it all the time and I'll ven
ture that when the city gets possession
of the Highland course in July that even
with it. South Grove Riverside and Ellen
berger courses there will not be enough
facilities for all the people who want
to play"
Mr.. Bookwalter said he would like to
have seen the board buy more land to the
south OF Woodstock in Golden Hill so
as to enlarge the Woodstock course to
eighteen holes, but 1.-THE Parry estate
wanted too much money The Golden
Hill Realty Company asked the board
$1,000 an acre for the additional land.

| Sarah Bernhardt is an example Of q

Simply because she was always thin
and never had beautiful neck Instead
OF getting excited about It, though. she

Notice her hair-it's always pulled
down over her brows That's because her
