Simple Services Mark Ceremony for $100,000 Catholic Edifice
(Tribune Special Service)
Linton, N. D., Aug. 6.-Simple yet impressive services marked the laying Sunday of the cornerstone for the $100,000 Catholic church which is being erected at Hague, 26 miles southeast of here.
The new church will seat 600 people and is 116 feet long. A steeple will tower 114 feet above the church proper which is 44 feet wide.
Of concrete and brick construction it will be fire-proof. A full basement will house a community hall, a kitchen, rest room for women, and an auditorium in which plays and motion pictures will be presented.
The Battenburg Construction company of St. Paul hold the general contract for the building which calls for expenditures totaling $60,000. A pipe organ valued at $8,000 has been purchased and altars, pews, and other interior furnishings will bring the entire cost of the building close to the $100,000 mark, it is estimated.
Complete the new church will be one of the finest in North Dakota and adding to its general beauty will be a large electrically illuminated cross set on the roof proper of the church.
The Rev. Joseph Niebeler is resident pastor and assisting him in supervising the work are John Sahli and Joseph Kocher, church trustees.
