 Considerable discussion resulted when Comsr. Bria asked why the board should not vote now in favor of the project, regardless of whether or not the federal government might approve of the item later. He said that the population of the East End is 17,000 and gymnasium facilities are very inadequate. He urged that the board vote to ask the board of finance to make an appropriation in the budget for the cost of the project, even if the fed- eral government refuses to make a grant for the gymnasium.
 Change of System
 Several board members pointed out that the city government ! in no condition to finance such a project. Things might be different if the form of government were changed" said Commissioner Em- ma Lowell. @
 The board finally voted to favor the erection of the gymnasium If the federal government approves of it as WPA project.

fore firemen from five volunteer COM

Wilmer Langford, manager of the
Penney store, arrived few minutes
after the fire was discovered. He told
firemen he saw the flames on the
mezzanine floor when he opened the
door.
Langford said he closed the door at
once, fearing the draft would fan the
blaze, but as soon as the door was
closed terrific explosion shook the
building and the entire store was i'm
mediately filled with flames.
No explanation could be given for
the explosion. Langford said there

IN MEMORIAM


In loving memory of my dear hus-
band, E. Thompson Pusey, who pass
ed away two years ago, December 9th.
1887.
Gone is the face I loved so dear
Silent is the voice loved to hear
Too far away for sight or speech
But not too far for thoughts to reach.
No one knows how much I miss him
No one knows the bitter pain
I have suffered since he left me
Life will never be the same.
He will never be forgotten
Nor shall his memory fade
Sweetest thoughts will always hnger
Around the grave where he is laid.
There close by the side Of that loved
one,
Meath the sod where the wild flowers
bloom,
When the farewell hymn shall be
chanted,
I shall rest by his side in the tomb.
BY his devoted wife
