For- x uuihu vgicsDr ana c. n jnar- Followlng negotiations which last ed several months 'the board of di rectors of the local ' Young Men Christian association announces the purchaso of the old Hurroughs prop erty at the corner of Broadway and Woodtin street, for a hew building to be erected at n future date, the deal Involving around $100,000. Whilo a number of sites have been suggested to the board of directors for the past few years, each tlmo the directors and the members of the site committee would go back to the Hurroaghs property, until the committee secured an option, which has Just been closed. The association brought hero recently un architect who devotes much of his time to planning Y. M. C. A. buildings and he at once selected the Burroughs property alto, after looking over tho others. Including in the deal will be the house, a large brick structure and four acres of land. This lund will be used In making tennis courts, baseball diamond and for other out door sports for tho association mon and boys. The building Is now being remodel ed and has been leased by Miss Har ris, who plana to conduct a hotel' there. Hhe of coursn will be allow ed to keep her lease anil in the mean time the directors will conduct a campaign here to raise the necessary funds to purchase the building and do what is necessary either In re building or working over the present building for the new Y. M. C. A. homo. The rooms on the first floor con sist of two largo parlors, four of of fice size a nd a largo dining room. The second and third floors of the building consists of 22 sleeping rooms ail of which have running wa ter In them and some are equipped with private baths. The directors are not ready Just now to definitely state what their plans will he regarding tho new building project. To erect a modern building sufficient to the needs of the Ashevllle men and boys would de mand the outlay of about $250,000. This would be a large sum for the Ashevllle people to give to this proj ect at one time, but many of the friends of the association believe Ashevllle is sufficiently Interested in the future young men to make this contribution. With this amount in vested In equipment and building, the Ashevllle public could boost of M. '. A., of this great deal goes to the site com mittee oomposed of Frank Smith, H. A. Dunham and J. J. Nichols. They have unselfishly, for several months, searched for available lots for the Y. M. C. A. At the board meetings of the association for months this has been the central thing discussed. Time after time In the discussion of available sites the board would at last come to tho conclusion that this property was the place for the boys and young mon of the city. At times the plans would almost be given up In despair when the committee would take a new start and with their ln- terest In the future boys of the city, I start another search for an.avallablo ! location.

Tho large tract of land would then be converted Into a playground for the boys of tho city. There is eufli cient room In this tract for plenty of tennis courts, handball courts and volley ball courts. These would be at the command of the men and old er boys -all tho time. Even during the winter months in Ashevllle the greater portion of the time could be devoted to this outside exercise, lie sides these plans of amusements for the men and boys, there would still bo left a sufficient amount of room to erect without, great cost a splen did outdoor or playground baseball court. This Is a very attractive game and would be played by both men and boys. The directors and secretaries of the association point out that with these activities right in the center of Asheville, the city would rank first In the oountry in such in terest in her young men and boys, and that she would be fur ahead ofj any other city in tho country wltn facilities for the boys of the com munity. Much credit for the consumption work Including the shon meetings over 16,5411 men were reached. The building Is engaged each day for ull kind of social , philanthropic and re ligious meetings. The club room is in constant demand for conferences of all kinds in the city. The gym nasium besides Its regular classes for men und boys in its regular activities, is engaged every hour both afternoon and evening for the boy scouts for their leagues, the Sunday school leugues and other organizations of tho community programs. As never before the building is being used by tho boys of the city and tho ques tion of a new building is growing each day more acute. NOTICE.

The dealers hero who now represent manufacturers of standard .cars, do not claim that all the good automobiles in tho country are rep resented by the 18 sales concerns here now and Invite tho Introduc tion of new makes and models as the bringing of other makes is said to always increase the volumo of busi ness of all the local dealers.
