The special Young Peoples Society
meeting Tuesday evening called for
the special purpose of discussing the
possibility of repairing the assembly
hall, was attended by twenty men,
bers and about a dozen others who
were interested in the matter. At the
previous special meeting it seemed
that sentiment was pretty much in
favor of saving the old structure,
while at the meeting this week argu-
ments for and against were rather
evenly divided, and the final result
of the meeting was that the question
remains exactly the same, as no de-
cision was taken ON it. The idea of
commencing the construction of new
building was revived and a committee
of three was appointed to investigate
the cost and possibilities along that
line. The board appointed the fol-
lowing on the committee: Andrew
Henriksen, Hans Mosbek, and Carl X.
Larsen.

tors, and terminated with real adj
