FAIR HAVEN NEWS
Polar Star Hall to be Trans formed-16 from Home Co
 to Chapman Meeting.

The days Of Polar Star hall are num- bered. At least. so it is reported. The property has been transferred by Mrs. Jacob Ullman to her father, Morris Steinert and it was stated last night, that in short time it would be used for hall purposes no more. At present, the lower portion of the building IS used for hall and the second floor on the front is leased to Polar Star lodge l. O. O. F., which organization leases to several societies. The plan is to fit up two stores on the Grand avenue front and ref1t the rear for a lodge room. This means that the societies using the present lodge room will have to secure new headquarters, at least until the new lodge room is reftted. The present building was built many years ago by Polar Star lodge, |. O.. o. fE,... and the hall has been one of the wei. known auditoriums of the city. The iodge had to put large deot on the proi oi,erty and as the hall did not pay as well as expected, the late Judge Ullinan, who held the mortgage, had to take the property over and the lodge made a bad loss. Since that time, the lodge has met on the second floor. It is practically the only public hall in Fair Haven and the loss will be se- verely felt by societies and churches ard politica, gatherings which have hired the place from time to time, But 1t Is rronable that new hall will be sesursI iii this part of the city ere very long, for it is one of the demands Of the times. The hall was never large enough for large audiences and if a new ilall is ever built. it should be larger than the present one. One citi- ze4. in speaking about this matter last night. said that the vacant lot between Station A and the store of Francis Brothers, on the north side of Grand, near Clinton avenue. would be a fine spot for a hall and adjacent to the east side, as well as the Eleventh and Twelfth ward neighborhoods. Polar Star hall is located in Grand avenue south side, near East Pearl street Certainly Fair Haven will miss Polar Star hall and it would seem that an other hall would be a necessity before very long.
