pital committee, 1t was found that suf-
ficient funds could not be raised by sub
scription for the erection of proper build
ings on the site. which is finely located.
overlooking tho city from the west About
$500 was raised for the purpose, which
was $1,000 short OF the required sum. With
the hard times to face and the indsposi-
ton on the part of our rich men to give
of their means to make the project GER
tain of success, the committee abandoned
the site. and accepted an offer of the
Charles II. Sheldon mansion, which Is a
spacious building located on n hill on the
east side of the city and overlooks the
Otter creek valley. There were not suf-
flcient funds on hand to pay for the prom
erty, including buildings and three acres
of land, but George T. Chaffee, ,member
OF the committee, on account of his in
