WEBSTER TOWNSHIP
FARMERS CONSIDER
Community BUILDING

WEBSTER, Ind, April 15.-Strong
desire for a community building for
this neighborhood was manifested at
a meeting or the township farmers as
ISOLATION Thursday night. The build
ing committee which had been appoint
ed at the last meeting to investigate
costs and plans, reported a cost OF
approximately $1,000 for the material
alone, for building 40 by 70 feet. 90
by 60 in the clear inside, with height
in the center Of 10 feet, and provided
with a stage at one end that would
have a depth of ten feet. with ten
foot square dressing room at each end
Of the stage.
There was much uncertainty as to
whether many Of the citizens outside
the farmers association desire a COM
niunity building, and as to whether the
proposed building would be acceptable
to all. In consequence, as it is pro-
POSED to build the hall by popular sub
scription, it was decided to leave
further action until the next meeting.
when everybody interested will be
urged to be present, to give opinions
on the building plans, and as to wheth-
err it Is necessary or desirable at this
time to proceed with construction. or
to make plans and be ready when con-
struction costs are lower.
Opinions Divided.
Cards will be sent out stating the
object OF the next meeting and inviting
those interested either for or against
10 be present. Opinion was somewhat
divided Thursday night, several stat.
ing that this is an inopportune time
for construction, others desiring i'm
mediate action, while there was even
some uncertainty whether hall would
be desired by the township at all.
The purchasing committee reported
that 50 tons Of fertilizer had been
bought through the Federated Market
ing Service with entire satisfaction, at
price Of $3.50 for 16 per cent acid.
The county agent advised that the
price has since declined to $40 and d
refund could be obtained from the
state Office.

business meeting, warmly commencing

list interest in that work.

Corn clubs also may be formed,
Dolan stating that with several groups
OF boys such as had enrolled in the

their fathers.
