MAY BUILD CHURCH
REPLACING OLD ONE
CONGREGATION OF ST. PATRick's
IN FAVOR OF ERECTING A
NEW BUILDING

The congregation of st. Patrick's
church at meeting yesterday morn
ing assested to the suggestion that a
new building would be more compa-
tible with the dignity and numbers of
the flock and considered plans and
proposals for alterations to the old
church and also for the construction
of stone structure to take the place
of the present edifice located on Jim
Butler ground. The sense of the meet
ing favored new building which
would cost comparatively little more
than what would be required to rem
der the present church safe and
sound. The matter was not finally de
termined and the pastor, Father Diss,
adjourned the meeting to Thursday
night to Knights of Columbus hall
when positive action will be taken.
The present building was erected in
the early days of the camp at the cor
ner of Central and st. Patrick street
and Bryan avenue. When the neces-
sity arose for extending the dump at
the Wandering boy shaft the mining
company agreed to move the church
and pastors residence to the present
site. In the process of removal the
old timbers were badly warped and
during severe windstorms the building
shakes in such a way that 1t is not
deemed safe for continued occupancy
