Both Episcopal and Congregational
churches are soon to be in the throes of
building, the former building a chapel
and the latter church. The chapel to
be put up by st Paul's church will cost
$4,000 to $4,000, probably, and will be
built of wood, as being cheaper than
brick. Beyond this, little was definitely
4 settled, but plans are to be drawn and
submitted to a committee consisting of
Samuel Glover, Henry Glover, Charles
Jennings, who will report back to the
parish. The ladies have $1,000 raised
and will probably pledge themselves to
provide the balance. The building is not
/ to be consecrated and will be used as a
, guild room for the ladies and for church
: parlors generally, besides its use as a
2 chapel. Though many meetings have
= been held in relation to the new Congre-
r gational church, it has heretofore been
impossible to arrive at definite results
. and the conclusions reached, as ANNOUNCE
ed, could be little but approximate.
That the church will be of stone and cost
$50, 900 to $4,000 is decided and Archi-
tect Cady has for several weeks been at
: work, drawing and revising plans to
meet the requirements of the committee
of three appointed as subcommittee by
: the original committee of Il appointed
by the society. These plans, when sat
q isfactory to the committee, will be sub
mitted to the society and if adopted, us
they probably will be, work at the edifice
q will at once begin. Thousands of dollars
q have already been subscribed to the
building fund and there will be no diff
Guilty in obtaining the sum needed. The
l church, which will stand on nearly the
i same foundations the burned struct-
: ure, will, it is understood, be SO arranged
that the main auditorium, lecture room
/ and parlor can be thrown into one. The
new organ will be situated back of the
chancel the stalls for the choir at one
side. There will be two main entrances,
one Oh eacn street, WIFI thle" oio"o
i aisles.
