Plan for YWCA Building Fund Campaign in Scranton
The article corrects a mistaken report of an impending memorial building funded by a public spirited citizen. Plans outline a fundraising drive by 100 women forming two person teams selling shares at twenty five cents to salaried women, with campaigns lasting until May and October, leading to board solicitation of subscriptions. A Broadbent lot at Washington avenue and Mulberry street is optioned for a building with class work and lunch rooms, plus a boarding home with fifty rooms. The project aims to help 8,782 self supporting women out of 38,000 in Scranton, expanding access to YWCA services. The captains will be entertained at the YWCA Monday night as organizing intensifies.

Location of Almshouse Sparks Debate at Poor Board
At a fall poor board meeting the committee chose a hillside knoll 1,000 feet south of the current building for the new almshouse location.

Architect Davis drafts revised plans and bids will follow. Mrs. Amy Lisk’s request for three more months of aid was denied. Mrs. Mary Hirsh received coal for the winter at the director’s discretion.
