ness and last nights meeting was held
for the PURPOSE Of devolving upon plan
whereby the great debt against the asso-
cia ion can bs liquldated. I. 4. Hazle-
wood, an international secretary Of The
Y. NJ. c. A, was the principal speaker of
the evening.
He suggested that a sub committee OF
seven business men be formed to cooper
ato with the business mems committee Of
cne hundred recently na,ns sd and with the
Y. NJ. &. A., members committee. Tie
committee of seven will 10 namod In a

Not SO large as was expected was the at
tendance of busine ,s men and Mr.. HALE
wood did not enter into as lenghthy dts
cussion as he had intended. Alfrsl Gaw-
throp presided, and reviewed the efforts Of
the past to free the association Of debt,
and he also outlined ths amounts needed
and stated for what purposes.
Mir. Hazlewood, a,ar inquiring the pros.
poets for securing subscriptions. was in
formed by Mr. Gawthrop that SIX sub
scriptions OF one thousand dollars each
could be secured II there WAS any evidence
OF the project heiag successful.
Mr.. Hazelwood was of the opinion that
subscription Of five thousand dollars
should be secured to head the list. If that
was obtained, he believed the twenty five
thousand dollars was practically assured.
His belief was that If II person ablo to
donate five thousand dollars only would
give $1,000, then 1t would influence the
man who fully intended to subscribe $1,000
to reduce his subscription TO $500.
ut seems to me the people of Whining
ton ale in sympathy with tho Y NJ. CA.
work, he added, "and at the previous
meeting tho contributions seemed to come
fairly easy.
Mr. Hazlowood spoke of the necessity
for new home for The nssoca, ion, with
modern equipments, and he expressed his
surprise ut tho number Of young men
using the rooms, as they are not up to

added, land keep as it,,
George W. Todd Thought the association
should ask for and receive $25, 900. Melville
Gambril inquired of MIR. Hazlcwood
what he Intentions were about securing
new building. He raised the point of
whether 1t would be judcous to liquidato
the indebtedness If the building at somo
future time was to be razed and proposed
new one erected In its stead. Mr.. Haz!e-
wood explained that the money WAS to
liquidato II mortgage. and If this was not
done tho excellent location would be lost
by the association. The land along there
Is con .idereds to be worth at lenst $4,000.
Mr.. Gambrill was satisfied that the plan
recommended was proper.
