The amendment favoring the ; retaining of-the -cb.sh'-iii' Hie - bankas •the nucleus for another arena fund drive as some““future 'date, was Jost. The disposition of the fund of $5^2.17 was made to contributors at the rate of approximately 28% c on the. dollar^ on a contributed total of over $1900.00. .
