This decision was reac! meeting this morning of the dir of the Bismarck Association of Com- merce and Dr. J. O. Arnson, chair man of the community building com- mittee of the association. The cym- mittee met recently and went thor- oughly into the question of ways and means for providing such a building, Dr. Arnson then presented the tee’s views to the directors. The directors feel that a suitabl community building is a necessity here and decided that before taking any defi n regarding the proposition it would be well to get some idea as to the probable cost, and to make a study of the various methods which might be used to finance the project. As soon as this data is secured, a joint meeting of the directors and the members of Dr. Arnson’s com- mittee will be held to into the proposition further. T! meeting will be called at an early date.
