To Give $20,000 for New Building With One Condition
A Topeka report describes a plan to raise twenty thousand dollars for a new building with a major condition. The local association must secure ten thousand from residents. Pines for the new structure remain uncertain. President Ripley notes restricted offers and aims to proceed with a partial erection while awaiting full funding. Committees, including Harold Chase and Harry Morgen, organize to collect funds and oversee construction plans at Fourth and Adams. The project anticipates a library, reading room, and facilities on multiple floors, with coordinated efforts from Sunday school and educational groups.
