It is understood that the Barrate place is valued at $2,500 and that the Miller lot Is held at $1,500. It is claimed by the friends of this plan that more money beside Mr. Mai lete’s contribution could be raised to ward carrying out their ideas The proposition that Mr. Mallette originally made to the board and that was turned down by them, to donate a large lot on the golf ground addition, still stands, and it is un derstood that hf will place in writ ing before the board at least two more propositions today for getting the new bnilding placed on the north side.
