Where Will It Be Located?

The question as to where the Y. JVI. C. A. building will be located has, it is aaid, uarrowed itself down to Iwo sites. One is that known as the Hawkins lot, on the oortheast corner of S. Fonrth ave. and E. Liberty st., tbe other is on N. Fonrth ave., between flnron and Ann sts., faoing the conrt house square, with 88 feet front on N Fonrtb ave. Both looations have strong supporters and options on botb pieces of property have been secured. The Hawkins proprerty can be bougtat for $5,000 and the N. Fonrth ave. site for $6,600. If tne f riends of the Hawkins site will dónate $1,000 to the building fund, the building will be located there, and if the friends uf the N. Fourth ave. site will go tbe others $1,500 better and make the amount donated $2, 500t the building will go there. One party has already pledged $600 towards the N. Fourth ave. site, and it is now a question of how muoh can be raised to decide whère the building will' be located. The directors of tbe Y. M. C. A. believe that a crisis has been reaohed in the affairs of the associatjon and 3hat tbe co operation of our oitizens at this time is essential to its continued growth and prosperity. It louks as if a great disoriruination is being made in favor of the Hawkins property when all that is desired there is a $1,000 contribution, whileto lócate the building on the more valuable property faoing the court house a $2,500 bonus is asked. The former lot bas 66 feet frontage and is 128 feet deep, while the latter has 88 feet frontage and is 120 feet deep, or in other words is one-flfth larger, consequently should be and is one-fifth more valuable, to say nothing of its central location which is a very great consideration in the location of such a building.
