Auction will help out Legion TERRACE LEGION mem- bers could be starting a new building this fall, provided they’re able to raise enough - money. The legion wants to build an 80 by 60 foot building perpendicular to its current building, overlapping the dance floar area by 20 fect. That will allow the legion to-stay open while construc- tion starts. The new building will have two floors with more than 9,000 sq. ft. of space. Upstairs will be a hall which the legion plans to rent oul, Building commilice chair Frank Bowsher estimates it will cost the legion about $500,000, If the cost seems low it’s because the legion is count- ing on getting a lot of the labour donated, and many materials at cost. Many legion members are tradesman, so Bowsher doesn't think that’s un- realistic. So far the legion has raised $130,000 and wants to raisc the majorily of the remainder by having mem- bers buy debentures. But that depends on get- ting approval from the legion’s provincial organi- zation. The money would be paid back the money as the new building starts to bring in revenue. No interest would be charged through such a venture, Debentures would be sold in amounts of $100, $200 and $500. Once built the hall would also be used by non-profit groups, says Bowsher. An auction this Sunday at 1 p.m. at the Terrace Curl- ing Rink will provide the legion with additional fund for its building plan. The auction will include a wide variety of items, in- more. Viewing will take place all day Saturday.
