become further strained, owing to the
fact that the landlord has issued pro-

tached to the processes is a notice stat
ing that he is willing to allow a conces-
sion of one year and nine months rent,
as compensation under Sir Charles

allege, only means in reality one years

termed the building era, for during that
time buildings have been started in eight
towns. and the property thus acquired, ln-
Guiding building funds. now amounts to
100000. This fact and other marks Of
progress indicate that the work in Califor-
mia is on the eve of great advance.

the associations for this meeting. Reduced
