DISCUSS BUILDING PLANS
Trustees and Officers of Y. w.
c. A. Map Out Definite
Program.

Although only settled within the week
in its new and larger quarters at 1856 f
street northwest. the Young Women's
Christian Association is now more ac-
lively than ever agitating the question
of building its permanent home on the
property recently purchased at the south
east corner of 18th and streets north
west.
At meeting last night at the home
Of John S. Sculiy, one of the trustees Of
nue. northwest. the trustees and officers Of
the Y. W. c. A. decided to map out
a definite program to place in the hands
Of architects and builders who may de-
sire to enter proposed competition for
the preparation of plans for the new
building.
To Accept Best Design.
After the plans are prepared. the best
design will be accepted, and. with this
as a basis, it will be possible for the as
ISOLATION to definitely determine the
amount of money that still must be raised
to carry the building project to compile
ton.
In its ten-day campaign for money for
the building fund.- conducted from May .
to May ID, 1872 the Y. w. c. A. secured
pledges for $124, 7dO OF this amount $685.
OOo already has been paid on the prop
erty at 18th and l streets, and out Of the
second installment on the pledges, which
is due January 1. it is hoped that ii will
, be possible for the association to greatly
reduce the debt of 800. which is in
the shape of deeds of deeds OF trust upon
the property.
The ten-day campaign produced $4,000
more than is actually needed to purchase
the property. and it is estimated that
$3.50, 900 still is needed before the building
project can be contaminated.
