The older residents of the annexed dis
trict will be somewhat surprised to learn
that the Women's Aid society which for
|27 years has been engaged in charitable
work Is to dispose OF their building on
Dewey street. Financially, the crganiza-
tlon is in better condition now than IT
has been for years and the present head
Of II. Mrs. Edwin l.. Thayer. says that
the good work will be carried on as usual,
but owing TO the fact that many OF the
cider members have died or moved away
the work OF caring for the building de-
rives upon few and at a meeting recent
ly held IL was voted TO sell the building
which is on leased land, and thus do away
with land rent. the heating and care of
thu building. Ordinary meetings are to
be held at the residences OF members
and public functions can be held in one
OF the many halls In the vicinity. The
selling of the building has been entrusted
to the Messrs. Henry o. Martin, John +.
Kenyon and Harry Winsor, whose fami-
lies have always taken an active part
in the welfare OF the organization. An ef-
fort will be made to dispose OF the build
ing at private sale for a time, but some
time In September IL will be offered a,
auction.
