or last summers building fund drive
which yielded $4,000 in cash and
pledges.
Construction will probably begin
with the first warm weather of the
spring although no contracts have
been awarded.
Plans call for one-story addition
with a full basement TO be erected
between the present structure and the
alley on the west side of the church.
The new building will reach to the lot
line between the Mennonite property
and that of Niswander and Herring.
The addition will be extended around
the rear corner of the building and
will reach II feet towards Church
street.
Classroons, pastors study and
church offices will be provided in the
first floor space. In addition one of
the present class rooms will be con-
verted into nursery with a sound
proof window dividing it from the
main body of the church.
A new furnace will be installed in
the almost completely remodeIed
basement of the old church. A
modern kitchen and serving counter
will also be added to the old base
ment. This will be connected to the
social room being planned for the
basement of the new addition.
Present plans call for social room
large enough to seat an assembly of
$50 persons. Table space for about
200 persons will be available for
banquets and church festivities.
Stairways will be broadened and
relocated throughout the building with
a view toward reducing congestion at
the entrances to both buildings.
Also included are plans for altera-
ton of the choir loft, redecoration of
the church, and new pews for the
church balcony.
Earlier plans had called for the
erection of a two story addition to
the church but members chose to
follow the building committee, which
recommended the present plan.
Building committee members re-
commended that construction begin
this spring because of continuing
rising costs and the immediate need
for more space.
Last summers fund raising cam
paign put the church far ahead of its
goal of not building until IS percent of
the amount required was available
in cash and pledges. Financial state
ments submitted by the building
committee show a total of SAC, 1895
