DIVERS VIEWS ARE PRESENTED

At Country Club Proposition Mooting Last Friday Night. At the meeting Friday evening at the Van Rensselaer club rooms to discuss the country club proposition there was quite a diversity of opinion as to what sort of grounds should be secured. Some wanted an exclusive country club with fine buildings, sunken gardens, fountains, etc., etc., while Others wanted grounds that could be used for a fair grounds, with race track, etc., and when not in such use could be used for golfing, etc. Others wanted a park, a playground for the children, others a memorial building, etc. The country club plan seems to have but little backing and it is not probable that anything at all will come from any of the propositions presented. Mose Leopold presided at the meeting and appointed a committee, composed of Dr. I. M. Washburn, Dr. M. D. Gwin, J. H. Chapman, J. N. Leatherman, Rev. J. B. Fleming, Mrs. Ora Ross and Mrs. W. O. Rowles, to further investigate the proposition.
