Omaha, November 16, 1924 – The West Leavenworth club, once hailed as one of the city’s most prestigious organizations, has been embroiled in a scandalous controversy surrounding the proposed relocation of the county hospital and poor farm. Members of the club have been accused of trying to strong-arm the city into selling the property, which they claim could be sold for enough to provide better quarters for the inmates farther out in the country.
