signed by w. Leslie Walker OF this
city at the request of one of the trus-
tees of a prominent church, which
also IL in the centre Of the hotel dis
trict. Instead of placing the audi

the bottom of the light well. he put 1t
IN the front Of an III shaped structure,
thus giving light and air to the rooms
and offices Of the skyscraper sur
rounding It. The idea on which this
edifice was planned was in reality
that of providing an ONCE building,

Charity Basis Done Away with.
It was intended that the building
should not In any sense DE operated
on a charity basis. It would have
been practically self-sustaining and
indeed It may yet be conducted on
much the same principle as here out
lined. The capital invested would be
working and bringing in returns
twenty-four hours a day and seven
days in the week. Even should such a
structure as this be sold and not en-
ployed at all for church purposes II
could be modified for business pur-
poses with only slight variations.
The novel project as developed in
much detail by Mr.. Walker made pro-
vision first for hotel with a capacity
OF one Thousand rooms in which there
would be accommodations for men OF
limited means. There would be also
mems clubs with gymnasium, running
tracks, baths, swimming pools, par
lors. a game room and a library and
lounge.
| Along the line Of community SER
vice there would be arranged audience
rooms where clubs of both men and
women could meet, small parlors and
rooms where dances could be given.
At a nominal rental and in rooms
especially equipped it was proposed
that sewing machines be rented to
seamstresses and also that there be
established millinery rooms and
schools for cooking and housekeeping
A medical department was also pro-
I jected in which lectures could be given
on the care of children and infants
and medical and dental clinics held.
The religious department of the
structure was to have included gen.
eral offices of the church a~d a pub
lication office.
On the ground fioar was to have
been duly provided a capacious audi
torium where not only church SER
vices could be held. but also lecture.
