C. N. Christen, of this city, was the low bidder, his price being $41,930.00 on the general contract. The low bids on the plumbing, heating and wiring made the total cost oi the new edifice, exclusive of the art glass, over $46,000.00 and tho building committee did not want to award the contracts unless the congregation had the opportunity to vote on the increased financial obligations, which would fall upon the members. The matter will, be explaijied to! the congregation'on Suhday arid on j the following Sunday, May 6th, the members will decide if Hie contract stall be awarded. It is understood I that a majority favor going ahead with the building of the new church.] The building, when erected, will be located at the corner of Jackson ami Third streets, the parsonage being moved west on Jackson street.
