The Mechanics Association.

An adjourned meeting of the Mechanics
Association was held last evening to further
consider the question of making the proposed
alterations in the building. About thirty.
five were in attendance, President Rogers
presiding. The committee having the mat
ter in charge reported that they had caused
an advertisement to be inserted in the daily
papers in regard to the proposed changes and
had secured estimates from the architects of
the approximate cost of the alienation. The
matter was then discussed at considerable
length. 1t was stated that several parties
had signifed desire to lease the large store
which will be made by the alterations. Mr..
Lewis B. Smith was in favor of making the
proposed changes in order to put the ass0cia-
tion's property on a paying basis and Mr..
Lawrence prepared an estimate to show the
financial gain. Mr.. Joshua Emery denied
that the association would be better off fnan-
cially and was opposed to the whole PLAN
Mr.. G. L. Bailey, Mr.. Giddings and others
expressed the opinion that some action should
be taken so that possible tenants for
the large store could be told something def
mite as to the society's intentions Other
gentlemen expressed views the same as those
quoted. An informal vote showed those
present in favor of making the alterations,
but finally the matter was recommitted to
the committee on motion of Mr.. M. A.
Blanchard and the committee given power
to offer definite terms to parties desiring to
lease the store.
