Y. M. C. A. TO BE REoRGANIzED
Plans for the Organization of q New
Association Are Under Con-
sideration.

A meeting will bedheld at the Com
nercial club tomorrow night to or
ganize new Y. MIC. A association
in this city. T.
The organization plans have been
in charge Of @ S. Ward Field, sec
rotary Of the National Y. M. G. A.,
who has been in the city for a. month
past, preparing the way for the
launching of the new association.
The organization committee Of TWEEN
ty-five met last Thursday night in the
Y. M. c. A. rooms The committee
was made up from the ranks Of the
business men Of the city, who have
always taken lively interest in Y. M.
Z. A work. At that meeting the plans
Of the national association were talked
over and line Of action decided upon.
The members of the committee Of
twenty-five were each to try to secure
five charter members. This would
bring the charter membership up to
125. The Initiation fee would be $40,
which would give the new association
a small financial basis
There are a half dozen or more
prominent and wealthy men in the city
who are willing to back the project if
a membership can be secured. 1t is to
this end that Mr. Ward has been
working.
AT the meeting tomorrow night the
plans will be presented in full. The
lease of the present Y. NJ. c. A. rooms
will expire the last of this month and
the committee has decided not to re-
new it. The old location would be
wholly inadequate to accommodate the
gymnasium and other auxiliary de-
partments. It is proposed to secure
down town location, and fit up a
gymnasium and other departments.
Rev. G. H. Bamble, who has faith
fully labored for the welfare of the
association for year past has re-
signed his position as secretary. Mr..
Ward was for several years secretary
OF the Minneapolis association and Will
remain in st. Paul until the new as
SNciatiOn has been IA irIN started

revenue are due, not to income, but
to outgo; not so much to dwindling
