San Antonlo's Y "A. e. A. Building.
For two years the Young Mems
Christian Associst alton OF San Antonio
has been working hard TO secure a
building with gymnasium, baths,
bowling alleys, reading rooms and all
the conveniepces and comforts OF
modern club rooms. They appealed
to the Southern Pacific for help in
their plans and received the following
generous proposition;
/. The company will provide the
site.
2 The company will contribute
$4,000. pre- vided the employees will
contribute the sum of $1,000.
3. The company also agrees to bear
q large share OF the expense after
completion of the building.
Other railroads havehelped to build
up railway Y. NJ. Q. A. buildings,
but this is the first time the Southern
Pacific has taken such step. 1t Is the
general opinion among railway men
that such buildings at the chief
terminal points help the company 81
much as the men. The building site
will probably be somewhere near the
railway station on the S. P.'s right
OF way; the work will be begun as
soon as plane can be made. The
building will be modern and complete
in every way.
