George P. Hart, H. S. Hart, H. H. Pease W. T. Sloper, Philip Corbin, E. A. Moore and other well known wes tion dents of the city, realizing that New Britain was in a position where en- larged social facilities were becoming necessity evolved the scheme of pro- ding a country club which will cater to the class wishing social diversion without leaving the city. The forma- tion of a land company for the pur- pose of purchasing property for the uses of the club followed. Then it was deemed advisable to procure a large tract and it was further schemed to retain a portion of the tract for dwellings. ~ As matters stand at pres- ent options have been obtained on about five hundred acres in the souti- western portion of the city, centering ‘rlrnund Shuttle Meadow avenue and Corbin avenue and running hack through the Austrian Singing socicty property and down towards the Rer- Dr. S. W. Irving’s rarm included as is the Battey and an Hardware land in that sec- land it tion. In all probability Dr. Irving’s nome will be remodled and made the home of the country club proper. It is fig- ured that the country club will be given 150 acres for its use and the other 350 - will be developed for sale. The property back from the road to the south of Shuttle Meadow avenue will be used for golf links and the land front, ing on Lincoln street will be split up into building lots. Restrictions will probably be placed upon the build- ing sites. Many local people have invested in the land company which will con the sale of the building lots, company is to be incorporated a $125,000. It is understood that the property borhood of $85,000 and there should be a fair profit realized by the stock- holders after the sale of lots. land company will turn over to a country club yet to be formed suf- ficient property to insure a good golf links of eighteen holes. The club houses and course will then he built. It js_not thought that the new club will conflict with the organization which has a golf links at Maple Hill as a tentative proposition had been adyanced to the directors of the iat- ter organization which will clear any monetary loss which it might s tain because of the new one. It doubtful if the land company carci through its plans. in this section, whether the Maple Hill club will con- tinue in operation. Probably the land will be acquired by the new club and sold as building lots or otherwise d posed of. Tt will probably eral years for the complete fulfillment of the project although steps towards its accomplishment may be expected soon.

The meeting w; called by a com- mittee of survivors to take measures for concerted action to recover for losses. Ogden H. Hammond, @ member of the committee, said the wealthier survivors intended to help those who had been unable to ob- tain legal aid in pressing their claims. An aatorney representing Mr. Har- mond advised the survivors that their primary claim is against the German government. “There is no doubt that the claim against the German government is as clear as any diplomatic claim can be,” he said. ‘The only question is how it is to be pushed. The Ameri- can claims should be hurried to a set- tlement so that they will be reserved in case we get into trouble with Car- many.” A committee of lawyers was ap- pointed to call a meeting of the legal representatives of all survivors on Saturday to prepare for united action. They will report to the survivors on Monday. here yesterd Joseph James L.

It was umed, however, that most of these are being held at various bases that the American military authorities may question them thoroughly. A report reaching here today said that four prisoners held at Casas Grandes were shot several days ago in an at- tempt to escape, but it could not he confirmed at military headquarters here.
