Shrine Armory project moves ahead for El Kabir Temple
1926 plan to relocate Bever home on A Avenue and Sixth Street NE clears steps. Bid deadline set for April 27 in Blake's office. Architect Moore accelerates to July 1 but bids paused for plan changes. Shrine members approve higher funds bringing building fund to 410000. Paulson Construction lands contract as dirt from excavation prompts city deal of 11000 yards at 65 cents per yard. Mayor Loftus notes Roosevelt Hotel fill and limited future dirt availability on the island.
