Tyson Hancock, The music commit tee. MT. North explained. was unani- nous for bringing the organ and choir loft to the front Of the church. and this lmme Iiately meant the abandonment of the present large and high pulpit. X small side pulpit was more in harmony with the de sired colonial architecture, Mr. Prltchard stated, and the commit tee decided in favor Of one. The pull pit IS to he balanced by a reading table or leCtern at the other side, with the communion table in the center, thus prov idlns separately for each Of the minister's three func- tons al services.
 The particular pulpit shown in the plans was on small pedestal and was capped by a wooden canopy, but MT. Brooks explained that the canopy could be omitted or a larger pedestal substituted and that small details had not hccn settled upon. Alter test motion an amendment 10 ret"r the chanCel furniture back 10 committee had been made by Louis ?. Slade and defeated, the plans were unanimously accepted.
 on motion of Mir. Bennett the meeting authorized the executive committee 10 have working plans prepared, while the First Eccleslasti.

Greene. the pastor. opened the meeting with prayer. He thankefs the committee for its "palnstakins and constant" work and called on Mir, Stanley. who read comprehensive report explaining the various steps taken by the com nllttee and the reasons for them, Ills report, in part. was as follows:
 At the annual meeting of the church in January. the building com mittee reported upon their work be- tween the time of their appointment and that date. Many of you saw the first set of preliminary plans that MT. Brooks had prepared. You will recall that the church faced on West Main street with the parish house directly connected 10 the church at the rear and housing all Departments in one building. Whil. this plan served purpose by siN ing a basis for detailed study. Il was quite unsatisfactory from many standpoints both practical and archi- tcctural. Two, other studies were made before it was decided by Mr. Brooks and the executive commltte, that q probable solution lay in fac ing the church on Lexington street rather than on West Main street.
 "Othcr studies were made With the. result that, you have before you what appears to your committee a most harmonious and adequate group of five buildings to housc all OF, ths activities of the church.

OLD COAT CAUSES
 SEARCH FOR BODY
Garment Tatsered and Torn Found on Bank of Mill
 Canal

An old, dark coat, tattered and torn and smelling strongly of strong tobacco, was found on the bank of the taiIrace of the old Manhasset mill, Pomfret street, Tuesday night, by Patrolman Sponcey. Someone had worn the coat and worn it thread bare. 1t looked suspiciously like the someone might have jumped into the mill trench.
 On this theory the police had men with grappling irons at work along the canal, Wednesday, but withou; success. In the evening the water was drawn of and a thorough search of the canal bed was made. No dead body was found.
 It is now believed that either some. one put the coat at the waters edge al hoax or else the coat was discarded l by it's owner without thought that Il would cause alarm.

less demand for this type of security
and a disposition to withhold bids until
the market had adjusted itself to the
