Officers of the newly elected organi

made to lease the Dayvuult property
from the Parkdale Realty C-ompeny,
and tin- property will Is- improved at
once. The property lies on the Con-cord-Kannnpolis
road, alsiut two utiles
north of Concord, and wns purchased
by the Parkdale Realty Company sev
eral years ago as a prospective Coun
try Club site.
Quite a number of itersons interest
ed in the organization of the club
were present nt the meeting Monday
night, and great interest was shown
in the proposition. The club, it was
stated, does not plan to purchase' the
club site at present, but to lease It
for a niimlH-r of years.
Work will be started al once on a
golf course for the club, according to
present plans. Several years itgo a
golf expert came lo Concord and sup

and the membership will be open to all
persons desiring to join. The location
of the property is well suited for Kan
napolis people as well as Concord peo
ple, and while members from nil parts
of the country will be taken in, is al
most certain that the membership will
be made up for the greater part of
Concord and Knnna polls people.
Another meeting of the officers ami
directors will be held next Monday

will be announced for the building of
the golf course and other Improve

ly a golf club, but Its activities will be
enlarged after its work lias bean well
organized. Golf enthusiasts ore real
ly the promoters of the organization,
and for that reason tne construction or
the golf course will be the first work
undertaken.
