The Catholics of East Saginaw are in need of a church; a location has been purchased and a small building erected in which services are held, but it is entirely too small, owing to the large increase within the last year. They have in mind a building 60 by 100 ft. to cost $8,000. As the people are poor, as is the case with pioneers, it will be impossible to raise their sum in one year. He suggests borrowing the money, and paying one-fourth down and the balance in yearly installments; when finished, the building and lots would be worth $10,000. By mortgaging the property, a loan at 10 per cent interest could be obtained. Jeffers requests Lefevere's view, and whether a lower rate of interest could be got in Detroit. :: III-2-j A.L.S. 1p. 8vo.
