WHY NOT SECURE
The ARM0Ry
Prominent Citizen Suggests
Armory Building as Mem
Orial to Soldiers and
Sailors.
A COMMUNITY HOUSE
Gymnasium, Club House,
Etc, for Soldiers and
Young People.

There has been considerable talk il
Webster City during the past few
years about Y. NJ. c. A. building OF
community house, and also later there
has been some agitation about a memOr
ial building or some other plan in hon
or of our soldiers and sailors. One OF
our prominent citizens has suggested
that Webster City now has the oppor
tunity right at it's door for the realiZa
ton of one or all of these projects hy
securing the armory building which is
now for sale at price far less than il
could be built for or what it cost whcI
erected. This building would make i
splendid memorial for our soldier boys
and could be used as a gymnasium, club
house, etc. by them and by the Other
young people in the community.
I,It is also suggested by the party mere
in referred to that under the Kendall
: Young will the trustees of the library
fund might see their way clear to enter
into this project in the interest of the
city anhbring it to successful reali.
cation. Still another suggestion is that
the $1,000 left by the late Mrs. l.. L.
Estes might be secured toward this en-
terprise, as it is understood the family
of the deceased are still willing that
that sum should go toward the COM
mnnity house project.
The Chamber of Commerce is con-
templating the proposition of spending
several hundred dollars a year for en-
larged quarters and in carrying out
this community house idea, why would
it not. be wise for the chamber to have
it's offices in the armOry building and
thereby contribute the rent it would
hnve to pay for other quarters to this
project of maintaining community
house where there is ample room for its
own gatherings and all other public
meetings as weils
1t seems to the Freeman-Journal
that the suggestions herein set forth
=
are worth while and that the citizens
Of the community in general and the
Chamber of Commerce might do we'll to
give the matter their thoughtful con-
sideration before the armory is sold for
some factory or other. purpose and the
community shall lose the opportunity
to secure it for some object which
shall be Of lasting benefit to the people,

young people of the community.
