ing, until the present day. He said
that the directors owed it to the town,
and the town to the directors, to con.
tinue the work until the structure is
furnished and finished.
Secretary Anderson Foote then gave
a detailed statement of all receipts
fad disbursements. There was about
$4,000 of uncollected subscriptions on
hand on october /, he said. He said
that $4,000 of this amount would be
paid when the subscribers were as
sured that the work would be contin-
ued $1,000 is good, but some little
difficulty in collecting it is anticipated
while $1,000 Or $4,000 may be total
loss.
Joe Cook asked if it were possible
to secure a list of the paid and the
unpaid subscribers. F. D. Lander sug-
gested that the reading of such a list
was essential to the meeting. "If a
large per centage of subscribers con-
sist of ;asolvent men, we should know
it, If they ere solvent, then let us
know that, too," he said.
S. E. Travis opposed the reading of
the names, saying that it might offend
someone if such list were made pub
lie. "Do not try to force the delin-
quents to pay" he said. Let this
building represent free-will offering.
| If they want to repudiate their SUBJ
scriptions, let them do So"
| P. L. CASTOR said that the bringing
in of personalities would not help in
collecting the amounts. Mr.. Lander
explained that he did not desire to
have the names read through curiosity,
but that it would be impossible for the
meeting to act intelligently on list
Of names, if the identity of the per-
sons named is not known.
w. ]. Haynen then introduced Sec
retary Arnold, of the Laurel Y. M. c.
A., who also opposed reading the
names of the delinquents. Sheriff Har-
bison also took this view. H. s. Ste
vens agreed with Mr.. Lander that the
body would not be able to act intelli-
gently unless the names were read.
John R. Tally also thought that infor.
nation necessary to proper under.
standing of the case. DR.. Hightower
said that the people ought to know
the names of the delinduents, but that
they could get the information by in
specting the secretary's books. E. c
Hearon and DIR. J. d. Donald objected
to the names being read. DR.. w
w. Crawford then introduced substi
tdte motion to Mr.. Lander's. providing
for committee Of three to make the
collections. This was carried.
W. s. F. Tatum. the largest sub
scriber to the fund, made a brief talk
in which he commended the meeting
for the course they had taken.
On motion made by Dr. Wright, il
was decided to clean off the yard O
