 "Fair Reporter" the paper published in connection with the Sacred Heart church fair, has this to say about the City hall: The more one considers this hall in it's majestic proportions and in the possibilities which it presents for artistic decoration, the more it's destruc- tion must be looked upon as species of vandalism which should be sternly op- posed. The people of Waterbury should be proud in possessing such a structure and should not hesitate to make the tritiing outlay requisite to make it as beautiful and comfortable as it is even in it's faded garb, grand and imposing. It was in the beginning intended for public purposes, let it not be diverted to private or class use. In it the interests of the people have many times been ad- vocated. In it, by the same peaceful methods, may their interests ever be perpetuated.
