THE SCROLL. 41home. The authorized capital stock is $25,000. The incorporators are Charles Stuart,A. C. Lau, I. M. Raymond, W. H. Raymond and J. D. Lau.The new house is to be built on the site of the old home at 1504 S Street,where, until the last year, the Fraternity has been located for many years.The old house, however, became uninhabitable a year ago, and the last yearthe boys have lived in a rented house, pending the erection of the new home.The plan of raising the money for the new home has been to take the presentbuilding fund, and add to it money secured by selling stock in the newhouse. An active campaign is now being carried on, and I am advised thatfunds adequate to finance the proposition have been pledged.FR-ANK C. BUII-TA, Nebraska, '08.CALIFORNIA ALPHACalifornia Alpha's old house is to be sold. The present value of the old houseand lot is $12,500, a. very conservative figure; property has not yet been sold,although the real estate people have it in hand.The new lot cost $10,000 net; the brokers were all Phi Delta Theta men,charging us no commission. In addition there will be about $500 for macadamizingthe streets, the lot being a corner one. Plans are being prepared fora new house, which it is estimated, will cost not less than $20,000 and thematerial will be brick and stone or stone and concrete.G. D. KIERULFF, President Io4a Province.WASHINGTON ALPHA.The boys go into a new home this fall. The house has just been built,and is as good as any occupied by a fraternity here. They have a lease on thisplace for a short term period. The old house and lot, valued at $6,000 andowned by the chapter, has been sold, and the chapter has bought four new lots,valued at $11,000. This property faces on three streets, has an unobstructedview overlooking the lakes, and furnishes, I believe, absolutely the best site atthe university. The lot proposition is well financed and a house will be builton the newly acquired ground in about five years. The boys have Number Onespirit and the alumni are standing behind them.ROY J. KINNE.\R.Besides the above a number of chapters mention in their letters tothis issue of THE SCROLL that they are waging campaigns for homes,but definite information is not at hand for more full description. Itis hoped during this year to chronicle the acquisition of at least fourmore houses. The year's promises are great along this material lineof activity and it is the hope of the Fraternity that realization nextJune will justify present prospects.THOMAS A. DAVIS, ll'nbash,'96.
