hall's revenue considerably thereby. The 

 bondholders, 120 in number, who built 

 the hall to meet their social needs rather 

 than as a business enterprise, feeling 

 that' its usefulness had been outlived, 

 asked that last week's meeting be called 

 in order to secure the society's consent 

 to terminate their agreement by selling 



the property. Great diversity of opinion 

 existed among the members of the so- 

 ciety. A large number, a majority 

 probably, favored declining the proposal 

 and holding the hall. When the matter 

 had been carefully discussed it was shown 

 that this would mean an outlay of money 

 for which the society was wholly unpre- 



pared. These members then felt that the 

 bondholders should be satisfied , with 50 

 cents on the dollar were permission to 

 sell granted. A number of infiuential 

 members, however, dissented from this 

 view, holding that the bondholders should 

 be paid dollar for dollar and a few of 

 them interest in full. They knew that 

 the bondholders were in control of the 

 situation and the society's fair name 

 was at stake. It is ' doubtful whether 

 a sale will be made at once. An offer 

 of $500,000 has been received for the 

 hall, but this the experts consider far 

 below the real value. 



The trustees of the Shaffer trust are 

 George Vaux, Jr., Robert Craig, William 

 Hacker and the Girard Trust Co. They 

 will sell as instructed by the society, pro- 

 vided certain legal obstacles can be over- 

 come, and this will take time. It ia 

 quite possible that the society will con- 

 tinue 'in the present home for another 

 season. 



Clement B. Newbold, president of the 

 Pennsylvania Horticultural Society, fa- 

 vors the sale. He believes that the in- 

 come to be derived from the proceeds 

 properly invested will enable the society 

 to extend its usefulness. Mr. Newbold's 

 idea of the society's future includes an 

 ofiice and room for meetings in the center 

 of the city, an arboretum in the suburbs, 

 exhibitions in desirable places centrally 

 located and easy of access to the fiower- 

 loving public; in short, that the society 

 should be the horticultural head and cen- 

 ter of the state that its name implies. 



The Florists' Club occupies rooms in 

 the basement of Horticultural hall; 

 should the hall be sold, the club will 

 have to move. David Rust, who is sec- 

 retary of 'both organizations, said that
