the uses for which this fund was

Of the Salvation Army. incorporated
or in the name of trustees to be held
by such trustees for the sole use and.
and benefit of the Salvation Army SO
long as 1t maintains or continues its

The members of this committee, as
we'll as the representatives of the Sal.
vation Army, represented to subscrfb-
ers of this fund, at the time the fund
was being raised, that the money so
raised was to be invested in real es-'
tate, and that the title tpa said real
estate was to be taken In. the name OF
trustees to be named for that purpose
and that the said trustees should hold
said property and the title thereto for
the sole use of the salvation Army to
be used by 1t in its work OF charity
and help in this city; and that when
the Salvation Army ceased to so use
the property, then the trustees should
use 1t for charity, social. uplift and
educational purposes, and the COM
mittee feels that the subscriptions to
this fund were obtained in no small
measure by and on account of such
Representation, and that this commit
tee has no authority to purchase this
property with the funds so raised and
obtained, except upon the terms upon
which such subscriptions were made
as hereinabove set out That. this,E
Is willing to do, but recently
the Salvation Army by its representa-
ttves has made it known to the com
mittee that it will insist that the title
of the property so purchased by SAID
gnnds be taken in the name OF the
salvation Army, Incorporated, without
Limitations or conditions.
We would have the subscribers to
this fund understand that the com
mittee has nothing personal IN tne
matter and only. seeks to serve TO the
hest purpose and advantage. the inter tel
,ests of those who, have, subscribed bed. 70
this, fund, but We dc. feel that y ,tuis
committe should have, the. real estate aye
so purchased by this, fund, cony{efyea
to the Salvation Army according 70 ~ If
request it would be a substantial var var
tango from the terms on which this
fund was raised and subscribed, and
that 1t is not with US, nor is 1T in our
mower or our disposition to modify
the terms or conditions upon which
this fund was subscribed. but If those
subscribing such fund are willing that
the title to the same be taken in the
name OF the Salvation Army, incorpor-
ated and a majority so express them
selves this committee will be glad to
carry out your wishes.
