to s2,051, and with that money he had
paid off the balance OF the sl5,u0 on the
bought some time ago, nov known "
as Bramhal Park. The $1,000
was paid for the half of the
plot facing on Ocean avenue and the other
half of the park on Clerk street was
bought by Father Carroll for ST.. 900. This
amount Father Carroll said he would pay
off very shortly.
Father Carroll told the members he was
sorry nat the work on the. new parish
school house and club would be. delayed
because of his trip, but that the work
would be started immediately on his re-
turn. The corner stone and foundation,
he said. would be ready by September.

Father Talon would be in charge during
his absence, and would take care Of all

gave the members an amusing sketch Of.

Father Talon to make the necessary
preparations pertaining to a monster gar

for the new building.
