No Action at the Town Meeting.


At the town meeting last Saturday, which was
called for the purpose of devising some means
whereby the town could provide itself with a
town hall, if church was built, did not result in
the town taking any action. Alarge majority OPP
posed the town making any appropriation, al
though none can say that the town does not need
a place OF its own where public meetings could be
held, and place for a select or central school,
which the town greatly needs. The Frost family
offered to contribute the sum Of 500 toward such
a building and Chester Lee offered $500. Yet the
town did not see any need of doing anything
about it, There seemed to be a fear on the part
of some that the money was to be used TO build a
UNCONVENTIONAL church. and as the town had got
along for many years without a town hall it could
continue to do so indefinitely, as long as Mr..
Withheld offered his hall for public use. II is not
the expectation or desire of any one to use the
public money to build a church, but why can not
the lower part of such a building be utilized for
such uses as the public need and the town pay a
reasonable amount thereforf II seems to us that
this opposition and division of feeling does not in.
dictate prosperous future for the town.
