TO SPEND $3,463.

Druids Remodeling Hall — Plans Being Made for Fair — Basket Picnic.

A total of $3,463 will be spent by Torkenskjold Grove on the mason, carpenter and iron construction of Druids’ Hall. The work on the hall was started yesterday. Three different construction companies will handle the affair. Work on the inside of the hall is to be done by members of the organization and is expected to cost in the neighborhood of $1,600.
The reconstruction of the building is expected to be completed some time in October, at which time a fair will be staged in order to raise funds to meet the cost of the work. At a special meeting Thursday night of committees in charge of the fair plans will be formulated for the event. The committees of last year raised $3,074. The same committees of last year were reappointed for this year and desire to double the amount of money raised the previous year.
The grove will hold a basket picnic September 7 at Peter Jensen’s farm at Center Brunswick. Automobiles will leave Druids’ Hall at 9 o’clock for the farm and also at 11 and 2 o’clock from 125th Street and Fifth Avenue.
