MRS ELLA LEA BEDELL DONATES
VALUABLE PROPERTY TO
NATIONAL GUARD
MOVE FOR BIG BUILDING
Hundred, Each of Whom are to
Give One Hundred Dollars toward
Increasing the Armory to Conven-
tion Hall. Joint Committees Work
ing to Raise the Money. ..... -.

At a meeting of the Armory board,
attended By Col. ]. w. Wilson, c. l..
Ballard and George Buffum, held at
four O'Clock yesterday afternoon at
the Commercial Club, the offer of a
lot as a location of the new armory
was made by Mrs. Ella Lea Bedell,
and the board accepted it with their
sincere thanks for the donation. The
property in question is lot IA, block
the corner of Fifth street, on Rich
ardson avenue, directly across the
avenue from the property of James
Sutherland. 1t is so by 1913 feet and
there has long been standing offer
Of $4,000 for 1t. 1t is especially valua
BILE as a location for the armory as it
is centrally located and has vacant
property on each side that might be
bought IL a larger building should be
desired. The lot was accepted with
the agreement that it should be u.s.
ed as an armory site for the National
Guard of New Mexico.
Along with the gift came propo-
sition from E. L. Bedell that he
would be one of a hundred, each of
whom are to give 800 toward rails
lag $4,000 to be added to the $4,000
that isgitea by the territory for the
armory building. Albuquerque has
been given $4,000 the same as Ros-
we'll and it's citizens have raised an
additional 5000, and they will put
up q fine convention hall with the
money. Roswell should do the same
thing Twenty thousand dollars would
put up a good sized building and it
is an opportunity the citizens should
not pass by.
Upon a suggestion, President r.
Kellahin, of the Commercial Club,
and Mayor G. A. Richardson, from
the city council will each appoint
committee of three to work with the
Armory Board in getting up the pro-
posed subscription of $4,000. And it
is to be hoped that they are success
full in their efforts. Roswell needs just
such a convention hall as this build
ing will make.

there will be a demonstration of ap-

any practical use can be made of the

the convention will certainly instruct
