At a meeting of the vestry of the
Church of the Ascension held last even
ing, Rev. j. N. Floyd took the chair
and called the body to order. The first
business on hand was that of receiving
the report of the committee appointed
to look up a suitable site for the new
church. 1t was stated on behalf of the
committee that its members had care
fully examined all the sites under con
sideration. and come to the conclusion
that the lots corner of Susan street
and Dakota avenue were best suited to
the purposes of the church. The lot
designated is the same upon which
formerly stood the Paul Martin skating
rink, which was burned some years ago.
The report of the committee was
accepted as read, and it was decided to
hold an open meeting of the parishiOn-
ers June 4 for the purpose OF TAX
ing a vote on the matter. There
is little doubt that there exists i'll
the parish strong sentiment in
favor of the site at present occupied by
/ the church as being the best for all
practical purposes. The outcome OF
the discussion as to a site for the new
bnilding is regarded by those we'll
verSed in the sentiment of the parish as
a certainty in favor of the present
situation, and objections are
raised to the lots selected by
the committee. that the church
would, of necessity, have to be built
right up to the steep bluff. and the
property is regarded by many as un-
desirable for that reason. In favor OF
the selection it is urged that the lots
can be obtained at reasonable price.
and are sufficiently large to admit OF
the building Of a parsonage beside the
church.
