J The movement to secure funds tor the erection of ft new Toon Women'! . . Christian association Building Is rap Idly taking shape. The . members of ' the board of trustee! have : been actively enraged for some time past privately soliciting subscriptions from among- those who ' are airectiy ana most Intimately associated with the ; work. Their effort! have been high if successful. These ladles had a conference Sat "urdajr with the advisory board of men ... composed of Messras. u. a. lompKi T. 8. Franklin. J. A. Durham. CaiJt t John Wilkes, W. H. Belk, C. W. Til left Mayor S. S. MaNinch and P. M Brown for the purpose of counseling with them as to the advisability at ' this time of making an open and pub lic request for funds. After mature consideration. It was decided to take C the matter actively In hand as early as possible and make a determined effort to secure the amount deemed neoessary. namely ISO. 000. There Is a pressing need for ad ditional quarters for the Charlotte Young Women's Christian Associa tion. The present home. In the rear of the Selwyn Hotel, is entirely In adequate. 8 hose who have charge of the work are being continually handicapped on account of the limit ed room. Tho needs are steadily in creasing. As the city grows, the work of the association advances cor respondingly. T.he demand for larger and more commodious quarters Is im perative. Those who have the matter In charge believe that a home can be blult for $50,000, one large enough to satisfy every want for many years to come. The structure will be of brick and fitted with all the mod ern conveniences. The plans will be drawn especially for a Young Wo men'! Christian Association. Every bit of the space will be utilized. No Site has been thought of, for the com mittee has Just commenced the cam paign for funds. There are several available loU which would suit ad mirably. The committee recognizes that many calls have already been made upon the Charlotte public for do nations and subscription!! to worthy causes. The raising of 180,000 for a new Young Men's Chrlntlnn Assocta tton building was nothing short of marvelous when all thing are con sidered. This achievement wag a striking evdence of the city's public spirit and generosity- Those who are ooncerned in this new work confi dently believe that when the undent necessity of a new Young Women's Christian AsBoclatlon building Is pre sented, that the subscriptions will not be withheld. On the contrary, they are certain thut the needed funds required will be forthcoming without delay. For year jiant, the home of the local Young Women's Christian As sociation ha been in the building In the rear of the new Selwyn hotel. At no time ha the work been per mitted to lag. Those interested have been untiring In their effort to up build the womanhood of the city and help any of those who might come to them. That a great work has al ready been achieved goo without say ing. There ban been no blowing of horns or blazing of trumpet by those concerned. The good ha been ar- compllshed In the way In which It should have been achieved, by quiet, untiring, persistent snd kindly en deavor. Now the ume ha come when additional facilities and better accommodations are needed. It Is not believed for a moment that th Charlotte public will permit this de mand to nst uns.-itlsned for long, but that at an early date, the erection of a handsome, commodious and service able building will be commenced.
