A cathedral to be erected at a cost of
not less than $250,000, for the use of the
Scottish Hits JUagonic bodies of Sm An-
tonio, is a plan of the fraternity which
became public last nitfht through the

ground at a price ot $25,uD will be tak°n

which had been ofured. The committee

night will formally recommenl th< pur-
chase of th» Grmikt BcfootI property

ian now is to remodel the two brick
uildings on the property to makn a clilb
house and auditorium, where the re-
unions will be he'd until funis shall nave
been obtained for the cathedral, three or
four years later. The second floor of one
of the buildings will be taken out, a
stage and bahony erected, proper sen-
ry and an organ installed, ami the en-
tire building equipped for the adequate
