Fisher Harris reiterated the statement that the piano for tho building would not be accepted until they wero entirely satisfactory, and it has been given out many times that the committee proposed to have I evorv detail of the construction in I exact accordance with the wishes of the club members and in kocping with the object of tho institution, before it it completed. "The arrangements will require a good deal of time," said MY. Harris, "but the committee will go into all or the details of the construction, and tho people of Salt Lake may rest assured that the new building will not only be one of the finest and best appointed Commercial clubs in the West, but will fulfill in every -wa3' tho requirements of a modern commercial building and the center of the commercial life of the intermountain country. Tt seems assured as-sured that tho Salt Lake Commercial club buildiug will be one of the finest in the Western country." |
