this purpose are not available the ma j 1
yor said the clubhouse would be built h

care of in the overdraft. In order to j I

milch as possible he suggested that ; [
architects might be prevailed upon to
d aw the [dans without charge to the c
city. c

ago. It has steadily gained niomentum n
aud a few months ago the mayor and 11
