Project for Greater Y. M. C. A. atioft of Building Committee In- spects Space Budget for New Home to Be Erect- od on Court Street. A picture of the New Britain of the future was brought to the at- tention of a ‘group of 30 men last evening when questions not oply of sutemablle parking but also the possibility of a need for airplane landing was brought up at a meet- ing of the bullding committee of the Y. M. C. A. These questions came up im natural sequence when it was pointed out that the erection of the proposed half million dollar Y. M. C. A. building must take into consideration the needs of the city for a period of from 25 to 50 years in the future. The meeting was held in the banquet hall of the “Y" and started with a turkey dinner at 6:30 o'clock. President James 8 North -opened the session with a frank statement that while the present Y. M. C. A. building is on the market and the amsociation is willing to sell, the di- rectors are not anxipus to sell im- medjately, and may not be until they are ready to go ahead with the new building. “The first thing to do is to get our plans in order and get things going right,” he said. Many Pitfalls for Young Men Walter H. Hart, chairman of the butlding committee, presided from this time om. Mr. Hart explained to the men asgembled that the original building cemmittee of five has gotten to the point where the mem- bers can almost visualize the new building. He quoted a local manu- facturer wWho said temptations for young men are greater in New Britain now than ever before and said the need for a Y. M. C. A. building is greater than ever before. He explpined that the new build- ing has been agitated for a perlod Qf more than three years, and that the national Y. M. C. A. architec- tural buresu and the national finance bureau has been consulted and a survey of conditions in the city has been made by James W. McCandless, secretary of the de- partment of assoclation administra- tion of the national Y. M. C. A. council, He said the directors have talked te prominent men who are ready to get back of the movement, that a “Boosters’ club” of members who are ready and willing to help the movement has been organized, and that it has been decided to sell the present building on the corner of Main and Court streets = when & satisfactery price can be obtained. The new building, he sald, will oc- cupy a plot of ground now owned by the Y. M. C. A. and facing Court street, which is 129 feet wide and 200 feet deep. He sald the building comimttee has signed a contract with the na- tional architectural bureau to pre- pare plans for a new bullding and that these plans will be submitted to & local architect when the as- sociation is ready to go ahead with the job. 5 Mr, Hart explained that the early stages of the project will take most of the time and form the most im- portant period In the program, add- ing that furnishing the new build- ing will cost from 10 to 15 per cent /&8 much as the cost of the bullding. He said the job will cost ap- Pproximately $500,000 and possibly more, Features In New Building Among the features which have been suggested for the new build- ing, Mr. Hart continued, are eight bowling ' alleys, 'two gymnasiums, four to 'six handball courts, larger ewimming pool, room for spectators &t the pool and accommodations for aquatic sports, ‘more satisfactory place for foremen's meetings, a dor- nitory of 136 ‘rooms and various ©Other accommodations needed in a modern “Y". He suggested rooms for religious and edycational activi- ties, place for boys’ activities and additional room for meeting places. It was reported that the present TIndustrial basbetball league sponsor- ed by the Y. M. C. A. must hold its games in two other halls because | of lack of facilities at the Y. M. C. A The industrial bowling league and the church bowling league were cited as other instances of activities ‘which would be in the Y M. C. A. under proper conditions. R. H. Wilcox, chairman of the athletic committee of the industrial council and president of the board of governors of the industrial lea- wue, reported that heavy expense ‘was incurred by the league in tak- ing games to other places than the © Y. M. C.A. E. M. Pratt, assistant superintend- ent of the Corbin Screw corporation, reported that the factories were epending money hiring outside halls for their teams to practice every week. : BAUME BENGUE, (AnaLelsiqul) 4 ARUEVES AMES & DAINS| $500,000 Studi George D. Rawlings of the Stanley Works said eight bowling alleys would not be enough. He recom- mended a minimum of 10. Others present agreed that 10 would be the least the new building should have. It was reported that bowling and bandball games are on the increase. Tax Collector Bernadotte Loomis re- ported that there is an increasing demand for handball and that the association can easily keep six hand- ball courts busy. Court Street Site Favored F. G. Platt raised the question of adequate parking space. This brought on a general discussion of the advantage of the present site. Mr. Platt said several members of the committee had taken a map of the city and had gone over it looking for a better site, but found there was no place quite so satisfactory as e Court street location. George E. ean, president of the Vulcan Iron Works, suggested making a parking space on the roof of the building. Walter R. Fletcher, officer manager for the Stanley Works, pointed out that the building will stand for some years in the future and asked why it would not be wise to consider 2 lunding place for airplanes on the roof. It was explained that the archi- tectural layout of the building would prohibit using the roof for either purpose. Suggestions for using the ground floor for parking, and for us- ing the basement for this purpose brought the comment that it might make the building look like a big garage. Assistant Prosecuting Attorney William M. Greenstein suggested glass enclosed handball courts on the roof. Dr. T. Eben Reeks, superintendent of the New Britain General hospi- tal, called attention to the fact that institutional architects are apt to figure down to the present needs in- i stead of taking .the future into con- sideration, and advised caution against making a mistake of this kind. Study of Space Needs On a motion submitted by George E. Bean, it was voted that the es- timated amount of space required for the functions or activities of the Y. M. C. A. be referred to the vari- ous committees in charge for con- sideration. The committee chairmen are as follows: Social department, Howard Y. Stearns; committee on. *boys’ work, Rev. William H. Alderson; physical department committee, T. W. Crowe; religious and educational committee, A. Krause; construc- tion committee, C. H. Norris; dor- mitory committee, no chairman named. A number of items were left to C. H. Barnes, general secretary, to report upon. It was voted that the social com- mittee give consideration to apave for banquets, cafeteria, auditorjum and motion picture booth.” Mr. Barnes will be asked to report on directors’ rooms also. A meeting will be held within two weeks at the call of the president. Members of the general commit- tee of 30 are as follows: W. H. Hart, F. G. Platt, C. J. Parker, John H. Leubeck and Thomas W. Crowe of the original building committee, and C. H. ‘Barnes, general secretar: Howard Y. Stearns, Rev. W. H. Al erson, Edward A. Krause, Willlam H, Day, Bernadotte Loomis, R. H. Wilcox, George D. Rawlings, D. V. Walker, J. B. Comstock, H, H. Tut- tle, F. R. Woods, A. A, North, Charles H. Norris, John Leubeck, James Havelick, Attorney William F. Mangan, Attorney William M. Greenstein, Clesson W. Parker, Dr. T. Eben Reeks, Edward M. Pratt, George E. Bean, Walter R. Fletcher, Sherrod E. Skinner and John Hu- bert. A list of 19 new Y. M. C. A. buildings erected recently was passed out to committee members with the suggestion that they visit them. The list is as follows: Meriden, Middletown, Schenec- tady, Williamsport, Pa., Trenton, N. J.. Westfleld, N. J., Waterbury, An- sonia, Jersey City, York, Pa., El- mira, N. Y., Chicoper, Mass., Nor- walk, Montcl; N. J., Passaic, N. |J.. Easton, Hackensack, N. J | White Plains, N. Y., Torrington. Space A space budget for the proposed Luilding as prepared by the national |architectural bureau was submitted to the committee. declared by many to allow of insuffi- cient number of bowling alleys and handball courts, it being generally conceded that 10 bowling alleys and six handball courts should be ac- ccpted as a minimum rather than maximum needs. The budget. which follows, will be reported on fully at the next meet- {ing, after consideration by the ‘var ous committeq chairmen and follow- ing conference with the different de- partment heads.
