side. and will be used as an entrance to the
main part. The other part of the addition
is intended for class room. A spire six
ty-fve feet high, constructed similar to the
one on Ascension church, will be erected
on the southwest corner of the
building. On the east end of the
editce, twelve feet is to be added

be lower than the main part. In the

class room and the body of the church is
to be supplied with folding doors which
can be opened in case of emergency, thus
making both rooms available for the ac-
