Returned Soldiers’ Club at Christchurch.

The Returned Soldiers’ Association of Canterbury has now secured a section, half an acre in extent, in Gloucester Street, adjoining the Masonic Hall, where it has been decided to build a new club-house. It is to be a two-storied building in brick, at an estimated cost of about £12,000. A striking feature will be a Memorial Hall (which will be open to the public). On the walls of this hall will be placed Rolls of Honours, on which will be inscribed the names of all Canterbury men who have fallen in action, or died while on active service. In the plans submitted by the architect, Mr. J. S. Guthrie, provision is made . for the following;—Lecture hall, dining-room, billiard-room, two card-rooms two reading rooms, ladies’ room, caretaker’s room, offices, buffet, bathrooms and lounge, and a lift is to be installed. ’ ‘
