streets.
Father Meehan expects to have the
new church erected within a year and
will also erect a handsome parochiaI
school. The school will adjoin the church

new church.
Masses at present are being said at
Lafayette Hall, No. lag Wilton street.
This building viii be used as a chapel
until the new church shall have been
erected. The hall is hardly large enough
to accommodate the number desiring to
attend mass. Two masses were celebrated
each Sunday until it was found that they
were insufficient, when Father Meehan
decided to lave an additional mass said
every Sunday morning. As the number
of Catholics who live in Lafayette de-
mand a large church, Father Meehan is
conducting his plans accordingly.
The new church villa be built ON the
same plans as those Of St. Johns and
st. Patrick's Churches. Blue stone will
be used and the trimming will be of gray
stone. There viii be a chapel in the base

model one. There viii be two entrances,
one to be used by the boys and the other
by the girls. The school will be built OF

Z BENEPI0EEg ENTERPRISE.
George w. Youngss Interest in ssCfty
and Suburban r1nnnes. ).


and Suburban TsoHnes..
George w. Young, former secretary of
the New Jersey Title Guarantee and
Trust Company Of this city and a we'll
known former resident of Jersey City. is
prominently identified with the movement
in New York for housing reform. He is
q director in the City and Suburban
Homes Company which was organized
to supply wage earners with improved,
wholesome homes at current rates and
upon easy terms.
Mr.. Young, who is now president of the
United States Mortgage and Trust Conn
pany, is chairman of the Committee on
Suburban Homes in this new enterprise
and is taking a deep interest in the move
ment. The first Of the city homes which
the City and Suburban Homes Company
proposes to supply will be built on a plot
Of ground between Tenth and Eleventh
avenue, partly fronting on West Sixty
eighth street and partly on West Sixty
ninth street, New York, consisting Of
nineteen city lots The tenants of the
new homes viii not merely be surround
ed by better hygienic conditions, but will
be in a neighborhood where there are
elevating instead of degenerating influ-
ences at work. The company also ex-
poets soon to build a block of six-story
tenements, 200 by 400 feet, and accom-
modating $50 families.
From a minute study Of the subject the
company finds that for the same rentals
now paid in slum dwellings 1t a give
from % to so per cent. more room than is
now given and vastly improved hygsenie,
housekeeping and moral comforts. 1t Is
also the Intention OF the COMPANY to fur
nish homes to suburban purchasers at a
rate not greatly If at all in excess Of or
binary rates of rental for city apartments
of even smaller dimensions, the monthly
rent payment including an instaliment on
the purchase of a house and a portion Of
a life insurance policy.
