Prepare YMCA Lot For Erection of Building
CLEARING TREE from the YMCA lot at Chicago and Washington streets is the current project in preparation for the building of a $60,000 office and youth center building. Here two Phalanx club members, Sam Jensen (left) and Jack Ruhe, Chesterton, who began the tree cutting operations last Saturday and who plan to work today, weather permitting, are at the job of clearing the lot. Permission to build was received a week ago by “Y” officials from the National Production authority.
