A new project Is now being discussed
among the leaders OF the French popula-
tion OF Central Falls which may event.
ually bring about the union of the two
great French local societies into one sim
gle association.
For more than a month, as was stated
In the TRIBUNE, the st. Jean Baptiste So
ciety has been contemplating the pur.
chase of lot on Broad street and the
erection thereon OF a large and spacious
brick building. A committee OF Ave has
been appointed to consider the matter
and To report to the society as soon sa
possible.
Unfortunately one of the members, j.
o. Collette, has since become sick and the
absence of another member has rendered
the meeting of the committee almost i'm
possible.
The available members of the commit
tee met last evening to discuss the ques-
tion.
AS IL has been already stated, the ex-
penses for the lot and building would
amount to somewh here around 10000.
II Is quite a large sum and although the
best conditions are offered, some Of the
most influential members OF the society
They contend that II would be placing
the very existence OF the association In
danger and exposing II to bankruptcy In q
very short time.
IL Is known fact that the othe large
association of the French residents Of
Central Falls, lie Cercle jacques Cartier,
has a splendid building of It's own at the
corner Of Broad and Foundry streets. IL
Is true there Is yet certain mortgage on
II and this Is the reason why some mem
hers OF the st. jean Baptiste Society trust
In the final success of their new project.
The latter Is simply union OF the two
large societies.
There would be but few and immateriaI
changes to be made to the existing con-
stitution OF either society and the adyan-
tages would be general.
One OF the conditions OF the union
would be the paying of OF the mortgage
| on the building by the st. Jean Baptiste
| society. The latter Is composed chiefly
| of the older element, and the Cercle
Jacques Cartier OF the young men
so that although the new society would
present the name OF st. Jean Baptiste for
the transaction OF business, the Cercie
Jacques Cartier would still exist as the
name OF the association of those members
who would participate in the literary and
| musical features of the semi monthly en-
| ertainments. Several members of both
societies have been interviewed on the
project and their views differ great
ly. The majority admitted the
| project was so new and unexpected that
they had not had time to form an opinion.
TO a disinterested party, that is to say, to
| one who does not belong to either So
ciety, the plan seems good and the pro-
ject sure to be a success II the old motto:
"Union is Strength" stands good.
The Cercle Jacques Cartier meets next
| w ed nesday and 1t 10 thought the subject
will then be submitted for discussion. IL
| the majority are In It's favor committee
| " IA be appointed to attend to the matter
| and confer with a similar committee OF
the st. Jean. Baptiste Society.
