Want No Cheap Affair."
In answer to a question by G. G.
Baldwin, who expressed doubt of the
ability of the city TO raise the nee
seasarsr 100000, Mr.. Cohurn stated
that he has Sonferred with several
heads OF the larger corporations
manufacturing here and. in nearly
every instance, was assured of sup
port If an adequate building IS plan
ned and erected. He said, however,
that several men stated they would
withdraw their support If a Cheap
affair" was erected instead of a
home necessary for the towns Inn
mediate and further neees. Mr.. Co
burn declared that he is confident
he a raise $4,000 among the In
dustries. II the citizens at large will
subscribe the remainder.
While speaking on these lines, he
e~ndeavored to dissuade the commit
teemen from discussing o smaller and
less expensive building. He declared
that, after erected, the young men.
and even those who are in advanced
years, but strongly favored this
movement, would regret that the
money had been expended for such
an Inadequate home. Mr.. Coburn
| believes that the dormitories are es-
sential, because they Will arouse a
genuine home feeling among the
young men and also defray running
expenses Of the building. He plans
to have about forty rooms of this
nature In the proposed building.
Mr.. Coburn also discouraged the
idea Of temporary euartere for the
present, while the movement is in It's
infancy, declaring that such q meth
Cd has met with failure and disap-
pointment elsewhere, and may occur
again here.
