The board of directors of the General Jewish Committee of Providence has announced that Providence Jewry and the executive committee of Bistadrut, the Israeli Federation of Labor, have joined to erect a Histadrut institution in Israel as a memorial to the late Alter Boyman, a leader in the Jewish community here. He died here last February at the age of 83.
On a motion by Judge Frank Licht, the local committee adopted the plan, in conjunction with the National Committee for Labor Israel. Providence Jewry and the Histadrut executive on Israel will share equally in the $120, 000 cost of the Boyman memorial.
