UP ioi IL hail. WHSAC ~ ho" SeahAS,
but to have it mOred to some suitable
place, near the centre of the village,
Our village is about a mile long,
and our Town Hall ia located near
one end, and We suggested the pro-
priety of having one centrally To-
Gated, for the better accOmmoda-
ton Of the village as a whole. Is
there anything 80 >"supremely self
ish" in that If 80, may We not
also claim that Citizen is actuated
by selfish motives in wishing to
have the church moved to q central
location, because it would then be
nearer to his residencef
Our correspondent seems to be
anxious to promote the "best good
Of the whole" in locating church
and why, we ask, shonld not the
same principle apply in regard to
any public building! But it does
not follow, because q Village
Hall should be located near the cen.
tire Of the village in order to best
accommodate all, that church should
also be located there. One is for
the use and benefit OF the whOle vii.
lage, while the other is to be used
by only part of our citizens, and
should be SO located as to best &C.
comnodate those who use it.
If or citizens had taken a little
more enlarged view of the matter
when they built our present hall,
they would have seen that by To-
eating it near the centre of the vii
lagc the amount of rent which would
have been obtained yearly for the
use of the hall would be of much
more Importance to the town, than
having IL piece of ground given to it
as site for hall at one cad Of the
yilla9c.-ED.
