Some Think the Windsor Building the Proper One to Buy and Otheis Are Equnlly Positive Thnt the Leonard Lot nt Adams Avenue and Mulberry Street Is What They Want Consldeinble Feeling Is Be ing Displayed with Refeience to the Matter. Great is the discussion unions tho loenl Grand Army of the llepubllo men nnd the lucmbcis of the Sons ot Veteinns, regaidlng the proposed pur chase of the Windsor building us the futuie homo of the- two associations. As told In Saturday's T'llbune, n nteet-Ini- wn held Thutsclay nli-ht of the eceeutKe bo.ud, at which a volt was taken on the matter. Twenty-four of the twenty-live tllrce tots w'eie piesent, nnd tho insult of the ballot wait n tie. lc has now been decided to settle tin matter by n Konoial billot, sending out postal cards to each member of the Kzrn (Irlillu nnd Colonel Monies posts, Camp S, Sons of Veternlis. and the tlnee ladles' auxiliaries, with Instructions ns to the mode of makliiK known their choice. Match 15 Is the day set for counting the ote. The Windsor bulldinK -mil t.eonaid lot, at Mulbeny street and Adams uxeuiio, will be the only places balloted upon. The opposition to the Windsor is very high In ccitnln quaiters nnd some of the old soldieis lime pone so far as to sav that they would kIv up their membership rather than move Into the tabooed structuie. C. P. Jad wln. of I'zia. fitrllln post, nn active Grand imy man. nnd one of the soundest teal estate men In the city, Is imioiig Ihosi opposed to the hotel, and In speiiklui; to a Tilliuue man about the matter ye.stoulay. said- WHAT JADW1.V SAID "Ar a Ginnd Army man T have onlv one thought icKardliHT n home or n moinoihil linll for the Craud A tiny, and that Is to got the woith of our money.

In lental, and It that is line the Wind sor Is only w oith f.iO.ooo end why pay $10.01)0.' "I would adtise tbe purchase of a corner lot and place n good substantial building al a cosl of not more than $20,000. That would Icae a balance to puichaso a lol at $i:i,0u0, which would be ample, and wo would be out of debt and have something that every Giatid Ainiv man would n proud of. "Say make a huge basement for di III hall and banquet rurposes, with kitchen and then take the ground lloor hall not les than 1 feet between Hour and second lloor lor convention lomns, then we would have something suited to iiur wants and necessities, but th" idea of pill chasing some nld Junk Is b-.uid." ni:i:d not ih:nt Mi. .l.nlwln also doclaied that in building a Grand Army home It.- did not think It an absolute necessity for Ihe strucluie to by built, with a de cided view tow ai ds rental purposes, as the posts aic In no need of imv icn finie. besides the slight dues.
