Church EDIFICE
GERMAN BAPTISTS BUY A BUILD.
ING SITE FOR NEW EDIFTCE.

The board of trustees of the Ger
man Baptist congregation met yester-
day and transacted some important
business. Their first consideration
was to mentally appraise a number of
sites which had been offered them
when it became known that they
were expecting to build, not on their
old site which was the scene. some
time ago, of a conflagration that left
them without a church home, but in
some other location to be selected BY
the committee.
Proposed locations were not at all
lacking and those placed before the
trustees for their consideration were
appealing and slightly. j. V. Regain,
Chas. b. Kennedy, James Robert
son and others listed with the COM
mitee properties that seemed entire
ly suitable, but in committee meet
ing yesterday the residence and lots
of James Robertson were bought in
for a new site, the money considera-
ton $4,000. The transfer has been
effected and this purchase gives the
German Baptists a very desirable
location on Center street w where
new paving will be laid by fall.
The former church site and the
parsonage will be placed o.. the mar
ket and the proceeds devoted to the
erection of a large modernly built
and equipped new edifice that will ac-
commodate larger audiences and
have a slightly more central loca-
tion than the former building had.
Therefore a new church home is now
an assured fact and plans on which
to base bids will soon be drawn and
the work of construction begun.
Two new church buildings for
Madison this year-practically three
since the rehabilitating and remoled'
ling of the st. Thomas Catholic
church makes the whole interior
equivalent to the cost of a new
church-is not a bad building record
and these with the new hospital, now
a certainty, will add much to the ap.
pearance of this city and its material
progress.
