A. railroad department did in 1902: It was a busy year, A good many of the railroad boys didn’t have much time to think about Y. M. C. A. but they were not slow in opening thelr pocketbooks to ald what they knew to be a good thing. So $513,000 was raised for new bulidings, and these will be erected in 23 towns and cities slong the Santa Fe system. ‘This is in addition to buildings that were in course of erection prior to January 1, 1902.
