Generous Response for Armory Fur
nishing Fund.

At the Tuesday luncheon of the I'm
arovement Association considerable dis
cussion was had regarding plans for
furnishing the new State armory, that
most favored being for the necessary y
articles to be purchased on the credit
of Co. H with the Improvement Asso-
citation to become responsible for the
payment of bills incurred within year.
This meant that Company II boys would
90 into the new armOry with a large
debt hanging over them and that all
funds sccruing as the profit of enter
tainments of various kinds would be
mortgsged to meet these bills. This
plan did not meet with the approval of
Arthur Ward as it seemed to him that
the citizens of Owosso, If the question
was laid before them, would cheerf ully
contribute the money to purchase the
furnishings Immediately required. Mr..
Ward consulted with Captain Parker
and the Armory committee and then
ucCiuON thoo pkoAups oSoioh Wouiu Pio

Ward right, as on Wednesday morning
with the aid of Mayor DeYoung and

vass for funds and at noon on Thursday
twelve one hundred dollar subscriptions
had been secured from the business men
and manufacturing concerns of the city
with a prospect of at least fiye more
today. Before the work Is completed
the gentlemen expect to turn over at
least $3, 900, which will be expended by
the joint action of the donors and the
Armory board of control. The success
of the committee thus far proves the
generosity of Owosso citizens and the
appreciation of the magnificent armory
Is 1t smiss to wonder if all the citi-

procure the land adjoining the srmory
