and wide hallway. The floor space
is equal to one room 22x50 feet. The
floors are in good condition, and the

good condition, though they all need
papering or calcimining, except one.
The entire inside needs coat of
paint. There is cellar under the
house and hydrant near the back
door. The house contains plenty of
windows and is wired for electric
lights. The arrangement and loca-

club rooms, church dinners, ba-
zaars, rumage sales and all civic pur-
poses, but Mr.. Jones has no authori-
| ty to expend any money for improve
ments. We suggest that two-year
lease be taken, with privilege of ex-

Other rooms on the ground floor

from $35 to $45 for rent.
Your committee recommend that
| if selection is made, it be the rock
house and that it be left to the Of
fetal board, consisting of the presi-
| dent, vice president, secretary and
treasurer to appoint board of con-
| troll consisting of five ladies and an
advisory board consisting of fve
business men. The members of these
boards to be carefully selected, and
all to be consulted as to their will
ingness to serve before they are ap-
pointed. I.
In the matter of furnishing we
suggest that after the house is put in
order, a hard times social be inau-
gurated to secure donations of sec
ond hand materials such as chairs,
rugs, tables, touches, pictures, stoves,
kitchen utensils, or anything that can
be made useful, with the understand
ing that as soon as we can AFFORD
something better, these shall be sold
at a rummage sale and the proceeds
used by the society.
In talking this matter over with
| people of the town, your committee
have met no opposition to the plan,
and the following donations have al
ready been offered without solicita-
| ton:
