corner OF West Main and Russell
streets will be the site of a. new
Masonic temple provided the organ
iaation accepts recommendation of
its building committee and pur-
chases the land. on which an option
has been obtained, 1t became known
today.
This is one OF the several sites
that were under consideration when
/ it was voted to build on the Sloper
property. on Russell street. After
that plan was halted through ION
ing and legal difficulties the Masons
lost no time i'll renewing their search
for available and desirable plots,
and it has been determined that the
tract now agreed upon is the best.
Wish to Proceed With Plans.
In making announcement today
that the organization hopes to begin
work on its temple without delay.
Chairman Sherwood II. Raymond of
The building committee emphasized
! the fact that the Sloper property
was not dropped because the Masons
have changed their viewpoint of its
desirabllity, but because an appeal

I might delay ultimate action for an
ether year. The Masons are desir-
GUS Of proceeding with their long
delayed plan, Mr. Raymond explain
. ed. hence the decision TO accept an
other site.
Price of 100000 Reported
Although purchase prices were
not mentioned in Mr.. Raymond's
statement, it Is understood that n
price OF $4,000 has been agreed
upon. This is $500 more than A.

ment to obtain 4 necessary special
exception precipltated the matter
into the superior court and caused
reversal of the boards decision.
Appeal On Zone Law Stands
| The decision of the Masons tC
/ build on a plot other than that now
held by Mr.. Sloper will not result
| in withdrawal of the action from
supreme court, Judge John II. Kirk
! ham, counsel for the board of ad-
! iustment declared this afternoon.
| The Masonic order has not with
| drawn its interest, either. and this
I fact is taken as an indication of a
plan to claim damages. in the event
that the board of adjustment Is up
held. Determination OF the issue in
superior court will serve as a guide
FOR future actions of the board.
