LEAGUE HALL
The committee of the San Juan
League for the construction of a
community hall and dance floor has’
submitted a definite plan to the
League, according to Mrs. George
Uhrig, league secretary. The hall
will be constructed on property donated by W. E. Moulton, and will
be not less than sixty by seventy
five feet, according to the plan submitted by the committee to the
League. The plan must be formally .
accepted by the League, of course,
but it is quite probable that it will
be accepted at a special meeting: to
be called in a.day or so. on
An estimate on the lumber has
already been secured, aXd as soon as
the League’s application for an SERA
loan is granted, work will begin.
The League plans to hold.a “Homecoming Week’’ sometime in August,
and it is hoped that the hall will be —
completed by that time.
