COUNTRY CLUB 10 | Widow and Children Made Destitute by Midnight Fire Now Have New Home e o IMPROVE ITS HOME Will Spend Twenty Thousand Deol-| lars in Improvements on Pres- ent Property This Winter. CAPITAL STOCK IS nvcmsnn[ tunate Family. Improvements to the extent of about $20,000 will be made on the present properiy of the Omaha Coun- try club and the organization will re- main at that location, near Benson, for another ten years, instead of sell- ing and moving farther away from the city. This was decided at noon at a special mesting of the stockholders, held at the Omaha club. Tmprovements contemplated will include additions to and changes in the present clubhouse, especially enlarge- ment of the dining rooms and truc- tion of a new dancing floor. Th be made before the formal reopening of the club next season. Method of ralsing the necessary funds for these improvements will be decided by a referendum vote of the 250 stock holders. Bonds may be lssued, or it may be decided to raise the annual dues 835 for three years, which would furnish sutficient extra money. The special meet- ing authorized the board of directors to &0 ahead with the proposed improvements and to raise the money by a method to be chosen by referendum vote. Capita] Stock Increased. Three amendments were also made to the articles of incorporation of the club, One amendment ralsed the capital stock from $30,000 to $100,000 by means of a spe- clal stock dividend of 100 per cent. Thus each of the 20 stockholders will have the par value of their holdings increased from $200 to $400. This is made possible by the value of the club property having doubled since its organization Other amendments fix the initiation fee of members at $100, limit the membership to 250 persons, require each member to own a share of stock in the corporation and fix the date of the annual meeting for the last Thursday in September.
