 Gallego Society, the whole block will 

 soon be demolished to make room for 



their clubhouse. The mayor is now 

 considering a temporary home.

 handsome grounds with tropical trees 

 and rare nlants will render this residence 

 very attractive, and the house itself will 

 be furnished with oriental luxury.
