New Britain herald., 1923-07-31

held Friday evening of this week at 8 o'clock at the church to discuss the matter of acquiring additional church property.
 It is reported that a New Britain real estate dealer has bought consid- erabe land near the church and will proceed to develop said land, erect ing dwelling houses there. The trus- tees of the church have decided that now Is good time to settle the mat ter of acquiring more land for the church and action will be taken by the meeting of the members Friday evening.
 No definite idea has been formed as to what will be done with said land, beyond the fact that the trustees feel that this property should be bought and held by the church in case ad- ditions to the buildings are needed. If the land becomes tied up, 1t will be much more difficult for the church to purchase it if the need for additions arises.
 The chairman of the board of trus- tees is Thomas w. Emerson and the clerk is Harold w. Upson. Other members of the board are Miss Mar jorie Moore, Mrs. c. Fred Johnson and Claude w. Stevens.
 A member of the board in com- menting on the proposed purchase this morning stated that it is not probable that a great deal of land will be acquired, but the trustees can- not go ahead and act alone. The members of the church must vote upon 1t first.
