REPORT OF CHAIRMAN OF THE BUILDING
COMMITTEE.
Mr.. President and Brethrem
This very handsome and imposing
structure is rapidly nearing completion.
1t is truly a credit to our city and is al
ready being pointed to as an honor to
our generous citizens, who have furnish
ed the means thus far towards it's erection
The contract price for the building was
$2l, 800, OF which amount the city will
pay 1,000 for a permanent home for its
fine clock and bell, which is to be placed
in the next week or two The remaining
S20,500 is to be paid by the Association
and its friends. About $4,000 of this
amount has been subscribed and made
up in various ways. OF this sum nearly
$4,000 remains uncollected, (but with few
exceptions every dollar of it will be paid
There remains to be raised by additional :
subscriptions, at least $4,000 which, | be- +
lieve, will be given by the friends of the
Association. The lot, including the old
church, upon which the new building
stands, cost $12, 200. This sum was loan
ed to the Association on easy terms, by
one OF its Warmest friends, Rev. g. Mos /
ley Murray, formerly of this city, now of
Rapldan, Va. The extras on the build \
ing are comparatively small. The steel
beams which have been placed in the
tower anchoring it to the main walls of
the building were used to make assur-
urance doubly sure, and to satisfy those
who were skeptical on the safety of the /
tower. Up to this time there is no sign
OF settling nor crack to be seen. The other
extras are the spectators gallery and running
tract and ceiling OF the sidewalks of the gvmna-
building.
The clock WILDE furnished by the CITY, 1t is
70 De one or the Howard Clock Cos best, with I
Illuminated diaIs feet in diameter, guaranteed

hoped that every one will leave nothing undone
TO secure the speedy payment of the full amount
