COUNTRY CLUB COMMITTEE
WILL SELECT A SITE
Members of the Country Club hold
a meeting Wednesday evening and in
structed a committee which had been
appointed to look up a site to lay be
fore tho club a deflnito proposition
at a meeting'' to bo held next
Monday evening.
Tho committee has had three sites
Under consideration, namely, the Hal-
ligan land four miles, west of town
which has been the home of tho club
for several years; the. former Pealo
tract lying north of tho city, and tho
Simnnts land east of tho city. Tho lat
ter, wo understand, has been elimina
ted by reason of tho rental asked be
ing higher than tho club folt it could
afford to pay. Tho choice, therefore,
lies between tho Pealo and tho Halll
gan land. The only objection to tho
llalllgan tract is that it is too
far distant and the road leading there
to is rough.
It is probable that a long-time lcaso
will b6 secured on ono of theso tracts
and a modern 'club house erected,
suitable for use by both ladies and
men .
