A New Building for the Y. N. c. Associa

l
A business meeting of the Young Men
Christian Association was held last friaay
night, at which good attendance OF THOSE
who subscribed to the building fund was
present. The object of the meeting was
to ascertain their views upon the purchase
of lot, and to hear the report of the com
mittee which had been appointed several
months ago for this purpose.
Tie committee which was composed OF
the following gentlemen, DR.. n. Ways' U.
4. Gooch, g. s. Baker, H. D. Peck ana
| Gen. r. D. Lilley, submitted their report.
1t lad in view three lots, one fronting inc
Episcopal church. on Main street. AZ Dy oo
feet. between the Public School and u. W
Hewett g paper hanging store; another, AZ
by 100 feet, Main street. next to VIM. Il.
Weller's dry goods store, and one in rear OF
the Spectator" office. y by 80 feet, 'front.'
ing on Market street. This last mention
ed lot has now upon it frame dwelling,
the timbers of which if pulled down and
sold to contractors, would bring about
three hundred dollars.
Mr.. G e. Gooch advocated the appoint
ment of committee of competent busl-
ness men, author lied to select lot and
invite bids for tue erection of building,
but their action to require the ratification
Of meeting of the subscribers to the
fund.
MIR. W. J. Nelson thought the Associa-
ton ought to exercise extreme caution
about going into debt. If after it felt pre-
pared to undertake the erection of build
ing the Association should determine to
do SO, he thought quiet spot would be
preferable for it. He thought favorably of
the Hardy lot opposite Trinity church as
location.
Mr.. J. E. Graham also favored the Har-
dy lot as a location and thought it would
be a safe plan to erect a one story building.
For this plan he thought little extra ex-
ertion could secure the funds.
Col. J. H. Skinner thought a location in
the business thoroughfare preferable to a
quiet one, because it would be in the path
Of the very men the Association desired to
reach.
Maj. J. W. Newton said he did not feel
sure that more than $1,000 could be now
realized of the So $50 subscribed.
After some more practical discussion of
the subject the following resolution was
| adopted:
Resolued, That the Committee appointed
tn procure lot for the purpose Of an AS
| ISOLATION Hall be continued, and be clothed
with authority to solicit additional sub
scriptious and to make conditional ar
rangement for lot and the erection of a
building for a hall and other rooms, for
the use of the Association.
In the absence of Gen .Lilley, Mr.. H. M. Nc
Infancy was unanimously chosen to serve in
his place upon the committee. On motion
the meeting adjourned.
