The Elks To A Own Temple

The Elks to own a temple

Have an option upon the Henning block

Within thirty days, they will strive to raise the $13,500 necessary to purchase it

The Elks have secured an option on the Henning block for $13,500, and will make an effort to raise this amount of money in the next 30 days. It is believed that at this figure the building will prove a good investment for the Elks. The building yields about $1,200 a year rental above the expenses. 

It is proposed that the lodge, which at present has a large surplus in its treasury, take a block of stock In the building and that the balance be raised by members of the lodge taking stock in the building, a stock company being formed to buy the building. 

Exalted Ruler E. D. Hiscock is at the head of the movement for securing an Elks' Temple. The location is a good one, the building occupies a prominent site. At present it is filled with tenants and if the Elks are to own their own home the present seems an opportune time to do so. A building with halls of this size could not now be built for anything like $13,500.
