POST STARTS OFF
WITH $830 FUND
Legion Men Raise Portion of
Money for New Building
During Meeting
With the realisation that they
and their children will, undoubtedly,
realise more benefits from the le
gion memorial building than will
the legion Itself, will Klamath Falls
residents, unsolicited, manifest the
unselfish spirit In giving that was
shown by legionnaires who held
their regular meeting last night?
Unaware that a collection, to be
used in erecting the building, was
to be taken up last night, 45j mem
bers ot the order, who gathered at
the courthouse, showed a liberality
which surprised even the most op
timistic booster. From the 46 men
of 253 In the post $830 In cash
was received, and a total of $1410
was pledged. More money much
more money Is needed, however,
and it Is from the general public
that the additional funds are ex
pected to come.
"We might feel a little differ
ently," one legion man said last
night, "If we were selfish In erect
ing the building. But it Is to be
the legion's In name only It will
be used by the public about 90 per
cent of the time."
It was pointed out that there
will be a gymnasium In the build
ing, which Is badly needed here.
High school students, now handicap
ped, would have access to the floor,
and the auditorium might be used
for the various hearings and meot
lngs which will occur In the future.
The cost ot the building to be
built on county property at the cor
ner of Fourth and Klamath la to
be $23,408. The bid, $1600 lower
than the nearest competitor, waa
submitted by Louis Porter, himself
a 'eglon man, who had agreed to
build the structure at cost. Howard
Perrln has been engaged as designer.
