Office was used as a lounging place
and in other quarters cuTbins in gut
ters or door steps we're utilized as
seats by MEN and bows but there was
nothing in the way of a comfortable
resting spot for men between shifts,
after work was done or for tired wo-
men and children. Ii was sug.
gested that tho club take up the mat.
