Morris f. Tyler spoke of the bad
condition of the roads in this vicinity
and appealed to the young men of the
association to use their influence in
bringing about better condition of the
roads. Colonel N. G. Osborn's opening
his remarks facetiously said that he
would nominate Mr. Tyler on a good
roads platform for mayor. Col. Osborn
spoke of the value of the Y. M. c. A. to
the community and called attention to
the fact that the association was needed
from an economic standpoint. Rev. DIR.
Munger spoke heartily in favor of a
new Y. M. c. A. building and said that
he considered it one of the greatest

site for a new building and a strong
effort will be made during the next
year to secure funds with which to
erect new building. The site is on
Temple street at the head at Center
street, and next to the Trinity parish
house. 1t was purchased a few years
ago for $4,000, and the association has
recently been offered $4,000 for the
property.
DR.. Frank Russell of Bridgeport
spoke of the fact that some pastors are
not in sympathy with the Y. M c. A.
He claimed that it was one of the best
auxiliaries that the church had. He
said that the Y M c. A. could furnish
to young men what the church did not,
namely, parlors, reading rooms, a Ii
brary, sociability and visitation among
young men. He though that young
man who was a member of his church
and also member of the Y. NJ. c. A.
was worth four young men III the
church who did not belong to the Y.

Prof. Sanders of Yale spoke of Y. M.
