Payette enterprise. (Payette, Canyon Co., Idaho) 1909-1935, 1914-03-05
Y. M. c. A. Notes
Progress in the Y. M. c. A. - Joint
Meeting Shows Advance in Canvass
and Work.

ceiYed encouraging rePoFIS uioAN
those engaged in the work OF Solicit
ing and from those in charge OF the
building program. An early peein-
/, ring of the work of reconstruction
seems strongly probable now, al
though the canvass for funds Is still
sery incomplete. However, the COM
munity is responding to the needs
vi the Association with such consist
oncy that to begin work at an early
date seems to be feasible plan and
has the advantage of affording to
considerable number of men the OPP
portunity of making very substan-
tial contribution in the way Of work
before the busy season opens.
The workers busted with the task
OF finding the necessary funds are
meeting with many encouragements.
The spirit met with is a genuine in
SEPARATION. One man who had pre-
yiously not given to the Association
came in unsolicited and volunteered
to contribute one hundred dollars to
the fund. Four farmers in succession
subscribed twenty five dollars each
to put the enterprise forward. The
consciousness that this is the oppor
tune time for all to unite their ef-
forts in behalf of the Y. M. c. A.
seems to have gotten possession OF
/ people and a splendid record is be-
ing achieved. 1t is requested that
anyone desiring to have a share in
the building program who is missed
! by the solicitors make their intentions
known at once 1t is recognized to
he to the interest of all that very
creditable building be erected but the
Board of Directors must be governed
in its plans by the amount of means
provided for the project. The Board
is exercising extraordinary care not
to involve the institution in debts
that threaten the well being and even
the permanence of the institution.
At the meeting Sunday the plans
of the Architect were approved and
the building committee authorized to
proceed with the arrangements for
building materials. The cement has
already been ordered. For supplying
the cement three bids were received
all at cost and practically the same.
The bid of w. A. Coughanour being
a trifle the lowest was accepted and
the cement ordered from him. The
lumber etc. is being offered at cost,
also.
The work on the basement be-
gun hast week under the supervision
Of w. F. Sherwood is progressing
favorably. The dirt is being sold,
delivered, at 40 cents per yard. Dirt
at this rate is inexpensive and every
load purchased aids in erecting the
building. Anyone desiring a quaint
ty should communicate with Mr..
Sherwood direct.
An expert on heating has been owl
er the ground to aid in the plans for
the new installation and it has been
found that much of the old system
can be used. The greater depth of
basement made possible by the i'm
provement in the sewer system will
conduce to a more satisfactory system
of heating and will be taken advan-
tage of.
The new plans include a number of |
changes that will be very apparent |
when the building is completed. One
of the most striking of these will be
the upper part and the finishing
thereof which will be constructed in
such manner as to make PRACTICAL
y the entire floor disable for dorm
tories or other purposes; much
larger measure Of usefulness and of
is assured by the pro-
posed alterations and additions.
All the forces engaged in the big
ask are moving industriously. AS
soon as the way can be opened a
anger force of men will be set at
work on the basement, the building
will be gotten onto the
grounds and the carpenter work in
and the work urged for
ward as rapidly as expediency will
permit.
The Auxiliary is hard at work de-
Using ways and means for furnishing
he dormitories and kitchen, looking
onward to the time when with re-
oicing 1t will be possible to Move
ack home"
A building CT attractive appearance,
uilt and equipped for the maximum
4 efficient service, and in prospect
soon emerging from debt is the
oal that is being striven for.
