ceedins q, 5oo-and recommend the sale
n tho Warner property for the following
reasons: .is., The rents and profits Of
.,v, have never been appropriated to the
oh;ect intended by the donor. and the sit
,.,;oo of il is such, that oil the proceeds
v;ll be barely sufficient to keep it in re-
,.;r. end. It's construction is such. that. it
!. vary little calculated for the accommo-
dstion Of the public, for the purposes for
which !. is at present used; and. 3rd, The
proceeds Of said property, applied to the
building Of a Town Hall, connected with
= Market. House and rooms for the use Of
The Mayor and Council. would be sufficient
10 defray the most if not the entire ex-
nan 90 Of a Building, which would be a
cred, to the city, and which we presume
no one will deny are very much needed;
and which would probably do more 10 the
establishing Of good Market in our city,
than any other step that can be taken
