Time was when any "Tom, Dick or

til he said "stop it," whether he forked
over any cash or not. AS conse-
quence we soon accumulated lot Of

largely to be barren when we at

six months or a year at the start, and
then forgot to renew or to have their
papers discontinued, and somehow APP
peared insensible to statements or no
tees. This condition has compelled
the adoption of different policy, viz:
payment strictly in advance, regard
less of who the person is.
When your time is up on The Rec
ord now you are notified; if you re-
new, all we'll and good; we are always
very glad to get the money, and we
are free to admit that we need it; but
if you do not see fit to renew, your
papers will be stopped and we will
go along just the same. We are pay
ing too much for print paper and ev-
everything else that enters ipto the
production of newspaper to afford

1t is no detriment to our advertisers
for the fellow who does not pay his

much a nuisance to them as he was

Six or even three months payments
however, are always acceptable.

President MILFORD Day made a few
opening remarks and gave in an able
and interesting manner the facts con-
corning the building of the tabernacle
He commended the people very highly
for the ready and willing response
which they gave the building commit
tee whenever they were called upon
for donations, which ranged from %
cents to $4,000. Said many people
who were not of the Latter-day Saints
faith had given of their means TO aid
in the erection of the building. Pres.
Day said that he considered that we
had builded well, but no better than
they who in early days built the first
little log church and later the rock
building which stands in the center
of the church grounds, according to
their means; and that no individual
would ever miss the amount he had
contributed to help build such splen-
did edifice.
The total cost Of the building was
given as $37,045. or this amount,
$4,000 was appropriated by the
Church, through its trustee in trust;
about $3.50 was donated by residents
of the county outside of Parowan, and
the remainder had been voluntarily
donated or subscribed by the people
of Parowan City. SAID that the build
ing was completed and entirely paid
for, there being no standing indebted
ness of any kind whatsoever.
The building committee was re-
leased, with vote of thanks for their
services.
President Day spoke of some chang.
es and additions to the original plan!
Of the building, such as the changing
from spruce to oak LUMBER in the fin
ish of the main auditorium, as well a.
the use of oak for the seats, which are
very substantial and comfortable. AZ
so, the fact that on account of the in
crease in the cost of material the con
tractor had been allowed consider
able sum additional to the contrac
price. An this had amounted to sew
eral thousand dollars. and had beer
cheerfully paid for by the people g
