VAN RENSSELAER CLUB PLANS

Will Spend. About $2,000 in Remodeling Their Rooms. At a largely attended meeting and smoker of the Van Rensselaer club Thursday evening it was voted to take over the third floor of The Democrat building and remodel both the second and third floors, which they will then occupy, according to plans and specifications recently prepared for them by a Monticello architect, with a few modifications, and to begin the work of remodeling as soon as a new* 10-year lease is secured for the rooms. The club did not have quite enough money on hand to cover the entire expense and an assessment of 85 per member was made to make up the balance. With the remodeling of their present quarters and taking over the third floor and hall for dancing and banquets the clqb will have very handsome and commoddious quarters, of nearly 4,000 feet floor space. It was also voted at this meeting to entertain the committees from the various counties who will be in Rensselaer next Wednesday in the Interests of the IndianapolisChicago state highway. The meeting of the committees will be held in the club rooms and the club will also provide a fine dinner for the visitors at the Makeever hotel. There will probably will be from 20 to 30 of the visitors here from the various counties through which it is the purpose to secure this road.
