THE LADIES OF ASHLAND PRESENT TO FINISH THE COMMUNITY HOUSE
Ashland, August 23. — The Women’s Civic Improvement Club and their many friends are pleased with the prospects of completing the new community house, on Park street, the present season, and the prospects are also very promising. The clubhouse, in a partially completed state and located just off the main road leading to the parks, has been an eyesore for months, but a revival of building operations is now being proposed, with improvements to be completed at large scale exceeding previous expectations. It has long been rumored that Jesse Winburn would give $1,000 to the building fund, but current reports indicate that he will not only complete the entire building work, but will also generously endow the new institution with equipment, and that too. a plan in accordance with making the club rooms centers of culture and refinement. From a literary point of view there will be books, pictures and periodicals, from a musical point of view a pipe organ may be installed and, in a utilitarian sense, the community center will be equipped with all modern conveniences that can be found think up. With this vision realized, hope long deferred the promises of a good result.
