The Odd Fellows’ Building Project Again.

Iroquois Lodge, I. O. O. F., has again resumed the question of building on their lot, adjoining the present building on the west, which was postponed last year, after plans were adopted. Several oommitlees and sub-committees are at work, and one report has already been made, and another is due tonight, and the final report, a week from tonight. It is now understood to be practioally, though not formally, deoided to build, and as soon as the weather will permit. It is probable that some ohanges will be made in the former plan, especially fn abandoning the proposed basement story, and instead to plaoe the heating plant, for both the present and the proposed buildings in a separate structure, in the rear. The building, as contemplated, will be a fine three story structure, uniform in front with the present Odd Fellows’ building.
