Sulfivan Property
Rapid Growth Leads
To Move to Expand
Facilities of Church
To provide for future expansion,
the' members of the First Baptist
Churchrhirvo voted to purchase the
Patrick Sullivan property, the for-mer
Maxson home, on South Long
Reach ave., to south of the church
edifice. Title to the property will
be taken on April 1, until which
time thp Sullivans will continue
to live In the house, on the site.
H is planned to provide an apart-ment
lor the janitor in the build-ing
and use the downstairs rooms
for adult classes now meeting in
the church, thus providing room
or more classes in the Sunday
School. The Ladies Circle and
other groups also plan to meet In
the Sullivan home after the house
is vacated.
A building on Norlh Main st.,
willed to the church, was sold
recently at approximately Ihe same
ignre as the cost of the Sullivan
iroperty, thus about equalising the
.wo transactions.
The Sunday morning congrega-tions
are the largest in the history
of the church, filling the main
almost to capacity. The
School is growing and
of the church realizing
accommodations would not
ong remain adequate recommend-
M! the purchase of the Sullivan
properly. Kventuallly it is plan-ned
to build a permnncnt structure

night to discuss the forma-tion
of new lateral districts w i t h
any persons who desired informa-tion
on the subject.
Village Engineer Herbert M.
Wood said that practically all
districts that could be organized
pending the completion of the
sewer-system for the southern sec-tion
of I he village had been formed.
The commission has set Monday

the rreution ol a sewer . d i s t r i c t
comprising North Brookslde ave..

Edmund Lumley, jr., who once

He also said Mr. Howell had erred

In that there would-be room for
only "two machines instead of three

Various 'speakers who favored
