SELECT PLAN
FOR ED|F|CE
Church Committee Has
Meeting With
Mr.. Black.


M. f. church met last night in the
Lewiston National Bank building.
Nine members were present. H. n
Black. of the firm of Black & Co.. was
| before the committee in explanation
of his plans and elevation.
1t was difficult task for the COM
mittee to decide between some of the
best designs. perhaps ever presented
before board in these parts. The
plans all had features of excellence.
and when it came to decide in relation
to securing the best possible for the
amount of money to be used it was
anything but an easy task.
The design selected, however, was
the one presented by Architect. Black,
but to be modified somewhat in a few
particulars.
A motion was passed by the last
quarterly conference of the M. e.
church to the effect that the building
shall cost no more than $4,000, but
before this motion was passed Rev.
Custer explained to the conference
what can be accomplished with that
| amount of money: the church at Mos
COW costing actually only s1s,5OO, ex-
elusive of the lots and additional land
purchased as an investment for the
future.
| 1T is not the amount Of money put
into church but the character of the
work and the manner Of handling the
| fhot toll ~ E>,,c-
ter. But the building committee
made arrangements last night to the
effect that as soon as $4,000 has been
subscribed the edif1ce shall be erected,
and as it proceeds everything that can
be raised shall be used for it's. con-
as soon as actually needed. and then
IL possible to have the very best
church possible.
IF it Is found possible to raise $780,
900 or $4,000 for this purpose then
that amount can be used, and If only
the $4,000 can be raised, then $40.-
900 edefice will be erected which will
| be at least twice what Moscow has to-
day because of building material be-
ing at hand so much nearer here than
there.
Every suggestion possible both for
outside and inside of the building is
to be carefully considered before the
church is erected in order that 1t may
! be the very best for all time to come
! for the city. Mr.. Black is to furnish
elevations arranged in a. pleasing
manner in order that all may know
just what the church building will be.
and these are to be on exhibition in
Lewiston during all the time that the
church is being pushed ahead.
Cuts will also be arranged by the
give to the public an idea Of just what
the edefice will be, but the plan adopt
ed by the building committee opens
the door for the very best possible
church that can be built here accord
ing to the generosity of the people and
tects all who give from any debt what
ever being against the building.
If the building committee can raise
$40. 900 in addition to all the present
resources Of the church and erect a
SOS, 900 church. then 1t will certainly
do this. II 1t can build only $4,000
church then 1t will be satisfied with
this.
IF some public spirited individual
Twill be responsible for the basalt foun-
dation soon, that win be put In in time
for the bishop who comes west in q
few months to lay the corner stone
then the pastor Is authorized to pro-
} coed with this, and have a great day
at the corner stone laying, but the only
way that can be hurried up IL by In
dividual effort on the. part OF some
4 who may be abba to do this. The plan
is. safe and the time element II the one
thing that enters into this proposition
largely. Fpr the good Of the place and
elevation Of realty In the face Of Nm
country at large the. sooner tlisssis
done the better. - &
