Mr. Moore reported Behre having advised that there was a chance to dispose of the old windows from old church building. On motion by Mr. Moore, Watts seconding, Mrs. Behre was constituted a committee of one to make the best possible disposition of them.

The matter of disposing of the present Church property was discussed at some length and Moore with Dr. Bowser were to receive such proposition from Real Estate firms as they might offer.
