 The church owns two lots facing on Adams street. The lot adjacent to the church on the north was bought sev- aral years ago when property was much cheaper than it is now.. with the ex- pectation that d much larger edifice than .he present one would have to De built That time has already come, but the management will defer build ing a new church until money is avail able for the construction of d very handsome building.
 The lecture room was built adjoining tlie church proper on :he south. several years ago. and it was then thought that it would meet the needs of-thr Sunday school for many years
 The addition to it, for which the money has now been raised. will be built adjoining the lecture room on the south and will have depth of 100 feet. That will give three times the pres ent space for Sunday school purposes.

 This week the same company has another little contract on hand. that of the demolition and removal of the festive An Sam's laundry that has for years been a landmark on the Y NJ. C A block This project is important rather because of the fact than because of the magnitude of it. The Y N C. A has been ordered by the government to have the lot cleared by the 16th, ready for the beginning of operations on the federal bui&ing. That does not imply that the con struction of the federal building will begin on that date and. in fact. it will not. for the contracts have not been let vet. but it shows that the govern ment is moving along slowly but surely to that end and proposes to have everything ready for the con tractors when the time comes.
 The Pioneer Transfer company pro poses to have the lot cleaned in ac- cordancc with its contract with the Y. NJ C. A. and then if the govern ment fails to go to work it will not be the fault of that company. It is planned to tear down the structure and pile the material by the roadside. selling if right on the ground if pos sibIe. If nobody wants to buy it it can be moved somewhere else.

CHURCH ATTENDANTS
 IN A LIBERAL MOOD
THEY CONTRIBUTED s2,o75 IN
 TWENTY MINUTES.
Money to Be Used for Better Housing
 of Presbyterian Sunday School.

Something happened at the Presby- terian church yesterday morning quite out of the ordinary. Announcement was made that $2.000 was needed for the construction of an addition to the lecture room for the use of tha grow ing Sunday school For the convenience of subscribers. series of squares was arranged on a blackboard. some of the squares were marked "$lO0" and the others. 50" 1925, BIO" and ''$5." Subscriptions were called for and as one was offered, a clerk placed a cross in d square containing the amount of the subscription. The aggregate of all the sums in the squares was S2,000
 The offerings came with such a rush that before MT. Campbell. the pastor Of the church. could stem the tide, the squares were more than filled and the amount of the subscriptions was $2,O75. II took just twenty minutes to raise the money.
 The proposed improvement will cost about g.. 800. but about $500 had been previously pledged. The addition to the Sunday school space is badly needed. The membership of the Sunday school is now 2g1 and it is estimated that the increase for the coming year will be at least 175.
 The lecture room is already far too
