Grahde
A building project, which has
been planned for hp vera! years, was
announced today by the -Central
Church of Christ, which plans
to erect' a new structure on the
corner of Pennsylvania avenue and
Seventh street. The church 1h ex
ported to coHt from 25,000 to $30,
000. It 1h said.
Members of the congregation
hope that actual work on the new
church will begin within the next
30 to GO days. In order to make
room for the new building, the
present church will be moved from
the Kite. It was built In 1000 or
1JMH HcrOHH from the Horn mar ho
tel building and wuh moved to Sev
enth and Pennsylvania about 18
ycurs ago.
Present CI in rcli Inadequate
The congregation, which has
been steadily Increasing in recent
yearn, findB tlie present church In
adequate and for the last few years
a determined effort has been made
to secure sufficient funds for a
new building.
. At present, about $14,000 or $15.
000 in cash and pledges is on hand,
which Is regarded as large enough
to ywurruut erecting a new build
ing. '
Tentative plans provide'- for a
structure 52 by 110 feet, covering
the entire church lot. The parson
age, which formerly occupied a
part of the lot. was moved uwuy
several-months ago.
It In possible that the new church
will be done in an Kngllsh design
and It will be erected of Klgin
. Htone. It will provide a Much lurg
er auditorium, additional space for
Sunday school roomH and for n
pastor's study and other necessury
rooms. Present plana provide for
a full basement and some of .the
Kunday school rooms may be plac
ed In that part of the building.
Definite plans have not been
made, although general arrange
ments have been decided on.
CharlcH IJ. Ailller, Im Grande arch
itect, expects to begin work on the
blue prints within the near future.
. The structure is to be completed.
It Is said, during the lulu spring or
Hummer mouths.
Fur this time of the year health
conditions In i-a Grande are un
i usually good, reports I Jr. A. 1..

One unusual feature of the health
record at this time is thai there In
but one quuruutlne case In the

to the records.
There is no flu now and very
little of any other type of illness, i
