A FINANCE COMMITTEE
NAMED MONDAY EVENING

A general meeting of the Com
munity House project was held in the
parlors Of the Public Library Monday
evening. There was very good at
tendance and much interest mani
tested.
While it was the first general
meeting for some time no very spec
ial business was up for consideration.
Several big features of the work
are under consideration and COM
mittees are working for results, but
it was known when the meeting was
called there was little likelihood of
big things happening or even being
studied; at this time these big things
are not quite ready for the public.
The Community Christmas COM
mittee made a report. In this report
was told the story Of a wonderfully
successful community Christmas; a
story of many hearts gladdened and
many sad ones cheered. And, best Of
all, this was all accomplished with
money in the treasury rather than a
deficit for which future effort must
be made for liquidation.
The Charity committee made re-
port Of some considerable relief work
accomplished; food and clothing dis
tributed, etc. Over >$100 had been
thus expended. ., --
The Educational committee showed
tina start had been made and that
prospects We're good for the near
future. The General committee in
timated to the Educational committee
that the thousand dollars which the
schools have gathered together was
yet to be made the nucleus of the big
building fund that it is purposed to
raise as soon as preliminaries can be
threshed out. It is expected, too, that
the educational committee of the new
Kiwanis club will work with this
committee and in this way form an
especially strong working force.
The general chairman Of the main
proposition Monday night appointed
general financial committee for the
big work before the organization.
The chairman named as members of
this new committee the chairmen
and chairwomen Of all the regular
committees so far appointed. Its per-
sonnel will be: Bessie M. Hewes, w.
B. Baldwin, Blake Mcdowell, IN. O.
Fuller, Mrs. G. E. Hoover, l.. H. Ran
dali, Mrs. J. D. Dannley, w. E. Con-
kle, F. M. Gibbs, S. M. Salisbury.
The members of the site committee
met Monday night and canvassed the
prospects in hand. There are five
sites under consideration on which
tentative offers have been made the
committee. The site committee has
agreed among themselves as to. what
suits them, but the matter will be put
up to the executive committee-pro-
badly Friday highland then when
the executive committee agrees on
what it wants the site committee will
go ahead and sign up an option.
Any one of the five sites on which
tentative option has been granted
will make good place for such a
memorial, but one-and that the one
which pleases the site committee
will make an ideal location. The
site committee hopes to have an agree
ment from the executive committee
this week, then the site committee can
go ahead and make the option deal.
Prospects for handsome mem
orial look better with each day.
Many of the more substantial cit
izens from financial standpoint
have expressed themselves in a way
that indicates that these men will do
their full share towards the prop
osition. And the committee feels
certain that the small property hold
ers will likewise do their share.
