main features is sufficient to show its 
adaptation to what is required of it, but it 
gives no idea of the beauty of the inte- 
rior and the attractiveness of the various 
rooms. ‘The assembly room is finished 
in a rich brown stain with tinted walls. 
The restaurant is green. The lobby and 
corridors are alight brown. The wood- 
work of the bedrooms will be left natural 
and the walls papered. The bathrooms 
and the pantry will be papered with 
cleanly Sanitas. “The basement will be 
white. Comfort, durability and beauty 
with economy have been sought in every 
detail and the result will bear inspection. 
The cost of the building furnished 
and complete will be as nearly as can 
now be estimated $27,870. It was de- 
cided after bids for the general contract 
had been received to reject them all and 
build by the day. This was not because 
the bids were high. ‘The architect con- 
sidered one of them extremely low. 
But the event has justified our procedure 
inasmuch as we shall save by it between 
$1000 and $1500. The lowest bid for 
the contract, which covered only certain 
parts of the construction of the building, 
was $16,000. Extras have been added 
to this sum sufficient to bring it up to over 
$16,500. The cost to us by the day 
will figure up to only $15,150. This 
result is due very largely to the efficiency 
and economy of the foreman Wm. L. 
Wilkins who has worked with single eye 
for the best interests of the clubhouse. 
But he is not the only one to whom 
praise is due. [he carpenters have been 
faithful without exception, seconding his 
efforts heartily. The plumbing, too, 
has been done admirably by F. A. 
Regan’s men, Mr. Regan aiding the club 
also very generously in the purchase of 
stock. John L. Abbott has been in 
charge of the painting and has put his 
heart into it, while he and the other 
Magnolia painters have been generous 
beyond their means in their subscriptions 
to the enterprise. [hese as well as 
George Gonia, the bowling alley builder, 
have done our work by the day and have 
given full value for the money. ‘The 
sub-contractors and the firms of whom 
we have bought our stock have helped in 
the work no less substantially, however. 
** A penny saved is a penny earned,’’ and 
we have been saved a great many pen- 
nies by the ‘‘ rock-bottom prices’ given 
us by the firms on our roll of honor: 
John J. McDonald, who did the electric 
wiring; O. J. Biggs of Gloucester, who 
did the tinning; J. F. Pope & Son of 
whom we bought our lumber; A. W. 
Hastings, who sold usthe doors, sash 
and blinds; the Freeman Mfg. Co. 
from whom our screens are coming; the 
J. B. Hunter Co. and the Trask Roof- 
ing Co. and L. E. Andrewsand J. May. 
Morley, Flatley & Co. have done our 
excavation and stone work very cheaply. 
H, W. Butler & Son have given us low
