NO NEW CHURCH YET.
Rum0r That One Is to Be Built In
Olneyville Unf0unded.
An Unsightly Structure Causes Comment.
Outdoor Meetings Criticised.

The report that new building was
to be erected on the site of the NJ. Il.
Tabernacle for church and business pur-
poses, when Investigated, appears to be
all on paper al present, with but little or
no prospect OF any such event transpir-
ing. The present church property is
heavily mortgaged and the officers OF the
church will hardly be able to see their
way clear TO erect a new building, al
though 1t is generally admitted that
one that would be m uch more lucrative
might be erected on the location OF the
present ill-arranged aGair, but not with
out funds.
uNsIoHTLY STRUCTURE.
The little 6xS house used by the gate
man at the Plainhelo street crossing,
which was recently removed across the
track and brought into more promi-
nence In it's conspicuous location along
side the sidewalk nearer the Plainfield
station platform. Is the subject OF much
unfavorable comment. 1t may serve the
gate tender, although he complains that
it leaks, but it certainly Is unsightly
and does not add to the tidiness of the
premises where 1t is located, neither is 1t
attractive on the street. Plenty of dis.
carded outhouses in the city present a
better appearance than this shelter at the
Plsinneld street crossing.
PUBLIC MEETINGS ON THE SQUARE.
Much criticism IL heard on the number
~ ina hot hai haIA
on OlneyvilIe square evenings and sun
days. No less than three gatherings
were in progress at one time last Sunday.
While their teachings are good, they
being either Of q religious or temperance
trend, the crowds obstruct the passage
on the sidewalks and frequently blockade
the street from travel. AT the last meet
ing of tue Council a petition was pre-
sented from the Socialist Labor Party
asking permission to hold open air meet
ings also. Their petition was referred to
the police committee who will act upon
1t Friday.
