Anothdr chapter In tho prief of a
small city ;Y. M. C. A. wus record
oil last nveltiinK when the board of
Y directorsi'liat arounil a table in the
La Grande National baiisi5 directors
room and figured lontr and hard try:
inir to . keep open the institution' in
Ln Grande . . ". '
Final decision was that .the' only
way La Grande, can have a Y, M. C.

With tfiis arrived at, the 'direct

on .the Y. and bei;an. that toilsome
task of figuriiiK out how to raise
money. - ' ' -
It was found that up to date the
Y. M. C. A. owes llbout $8,000 inert
jieiiin uiiiiiim.
Thus in round numbers the insti
tution is in the reil about $12,000
with the finest chance in the world
of. eulnrKirg that figure very fast if
opened up and run urtder the old
plan. ....
Of the' $12,000 in debts that hang
as a swampy tungus over an msci-
ceedingrf.
Then there is a list of, running ex
penses ranging from one dollar to
$lj00 remaining unpaid and the board
of directors unnlyzcd this list very
carefully. It was found that $4(11) -of
this amount was for labor and,
that had to he paid at once.
Then the pjestion arose about get
ting the money to pay the labor
debts-
It. was the same old story which
happens to a board of directors who
arc trying to nurse an institution
along they signed notes'itt the two "
Then the board passed a roaolu-
tion putting tho question 'nf having

A committee wan appointed to try-
to get the mortgage foreclosure lie--iayed
until after November election;

to preserve tno
institution fr the public if they
can. ;
.Should this movement fail then
the procedure of law will follow. Tho
building will be put up for sale and
sold by the sheriff of Union county
to the highest bidder and all funds
derived will be used to pay off the
debts of tho institution.
