A temporary lease form has been issued by the Los Angeles offices of the Western Union, taking the north side of the new quarters for a term of three years, beginning Jan. 1, but they cannot begin their tenancy before the end of January, on account of delay in getting equipment ready for installation. The Auto Club is bearing most of the expense in the south side, which they will occupy jointly with the C. of C. They pay for the ladies' rest room in full and half of all the other expenses for labor and materials which go into joint use, besides furnishing beautiful gold-leaf signs on both large windows at their own expense for both organizations; also a counter, which has been removed from their Santa Ana bureau today and is already in place. Private offices for both organizations are already in place and it only remains for the painters to cont the walls, woodwork and floors when "moving day" will begin.
