ALREADY OWN A SITE. Also Have About 3,000 Avail able in Money. New Officers Will Be Elected at the Meeting. A meeting of theofficers and the board of directors of the Fester Humane so ciety has been called for Monday after noon at 3 o'clock. December 3, in the of fice of the secretary of the association, Sam Radges, in the Office block. The purpose of this meeting will be the election of new officers and directors for the ensuing vear and the formation of plans for the furtherance of the object of the society. Among the many things which will come before the meeting will be the dis cussion of the plans for the erection of a building which will be the permanent home of the society-. Four years ago, November 15. ISM. the constitution and by-laws of the or ganization were adopted. Judge Cassius G. Foster was the prime mover in the organization of the society and a lot was donated by him on which to build a permanent home near Ninth street on Kansas avenue. The need of such an institution as this was long felt before the initiative steps for its establishment were taken by Judge Foster. Since that time a great deal of good has been accomplished by this society. While the work has not at tracted widespread notice it has been going ouietly on nevertheless and it is due to the influence of the members and officers of this association that better treatment of dumb animals in this city has materially increased. Few arrests have been made on charges preferred by members of the Humare society but the members have been to a greater or lesser extent active in the work for the betterment of the conditions of the dumb animals in this city. The society has at present in one of the bark? cf the city J1.1S4. One thou sand dollars more is due the society from the estate of the late Judge Foster, who left that amount for the use of the society in his will. About tSCO m-re has been pledged by two or three prominent business men in the city towards the building fund and may be collected at any time the society calls for it. This makes a total of nearly fu,y''i which the society alread has available. For the past two years few calls have ?WK0v. 14,1900. & Co. been made for money by this organiza tion but following this meeting it is ex pected that an active interest will be ta ken by the members in raising enough more money to erect a creditable build ing on the site donated for that purpose by Judge Poster. A life membership to the association costs $100. As many as possible will be induced to join, and voluntary subscrip tions will be asked for. By this means it is anticipated that enough funds may be raised this fall to begin the erection of the building in the spring. The architect's plans and specifica tions have not been made and will not be made until the society finds about how much money will be available for the work. A building which will be a credit to both the city and the society wjll be erected. It may possibly be three stories high. The Humane society will have its offices in the building. The other rooms would be rented and the revenue derived this way will be ud in the maintenance of the society and us work. The building will be exempt from tax ation as it will be used for charitable purposes. In addition to this It Is the plan to build a barn in the rear in which to care for horses and other animals pirked up.
