a committee of five was appointed. con-
sisting Of Messrs. SwartZell, Blair, Lis
ner. Browne and Trusdell. with instruc-
tons to organize citizens committee
to assist a committee appointed by the
board of directors of the Young Mems
Christian Association in planning for the
celebration of the tenth anniversary of
the removal of the association to it's pres
ent location and also the tenth anniver-
sary of the presidency of Mr. S. w.
Woodward. The citizens committee APP
pointed under this action has been called
together this evening.
1T was proposed at the meeting OF No
vember n that a committee be organ
lied of the young men in the association
as we'll as committee of citizens.
'1t was further suggested that the
present floating Indebtedness of the as
ISOLATION amounting in round figures to
S15.OO, be raised testimonial to Mr..
Woodward. whose leadership and gem
crosby were so largely responsible for
the possession by the association of an
unincumbered property worth approx
mately $500. 900.
ut was stated that this floating in
debtedness had arisen from three sources.
Approximately 10000 had been the cur
rent expense deficiencies of the period of
five years during which time the COM
munty was drawn upon to the fullest
possible extent for the building fund and
when it was desirable to prosecute the
usual canvas for current support, $4,000
more of the Indebtedness was due to the
remodeling of the old building in order
that it might be a suitable and disable
structure for the boys department The
income from dormitores placed in the
boys building by this improvement was
more than $1,000 year. A further sum
of 5000 of the Indebtedness was due %
tho shrinkage in the building fund
pledges
The young men of The association have
undertaken the raising of a subscription
nf an
proposed that the additional 10000 be
secured from the citizens generally.
