had been tried twice before and proved UNI
satisfactory, and as there are times wher
the hall is given free for town or charitable
purposes, and any arrangements with
private parties might cause trouble in this
direction. Furthermore the leases would
work in as many entertainments as possible
and the town must heat and light the hal
and work the stage for every entertain
ment, even if there was one every night
