FOUNDATION IN BUT
NEW SITE CHOSEN
Belgian Catholic Church in Moline Not
to Be Completed, Though Cor
ner Stone is Laid.

Notwithstanding the fact that the
foundation has been completed, and
the corner stone has been laid, the new
Belgian Catholic church in Moline Will
not be completed at Fifth street and
Eighteenth-and-a-half avenue. Instead
new site will be used, and the church
erected at Thirteenth street and Six
teenth avenue The change in the
plans is due to some opposition, it be-
ing claimed that the site originally Sc
lected, and where the work has been
we'll started, is not good location and
is too far removed from the district
more thickly settled by many who are
interested in the church. Father J. B.
Culemans, pastor of St. PauIs church
here, and in charge of the new Moline
church, is highly elated over the
change in the plans. In order to make
possible the erection of a school build
ing later, a lot adjoining the new
church property has also been pur-
chased.
