ton was awarded to the late James o.
Follett for $500. He began work in Oc
tober, 1910. but owing to difficulty in Sc
curing help he was overtaken by the
cold weather with the foundation only
about two-thirds completed. The stu
alton was complicated further by the
unexpected death of Deacon Follett in
February, 1911.
In the annual town meeting in March,
1911, the town voted an additional $1,000
as 1t was seen that the original appro-
priation was insufficient to complete the
building according to the plans. A con-
tract was made with Haynes Saunders
to finish the foundation and put in a
cement walk and steps and grade the
lawn, for 5000. The contract for the
building proper was awarded to Everett
w. Phillips for $4,000, to be completed
Jan. /, 1872
The building was designed by NJ. r.
Drew, architect, of Greenfield, Mass. 1t
is 40 by 60 feet with 20-foot six-inch
posts. The portico is s by IS feet sur
mounted by balustrade supported by
heavy columns. The hall is 40 feet from
the sidewalk and is reached by ce-
ment walk eight feet wide and a flight
of five cement steps nine feet wide with
17-inch treads. There is an ante-room
on each side of the main entrance to
the hall, which is SO by 40 feet with a
stage Is by 20 feet. The hall and gal
lery, ii by 40 feet, have a seating ca
pacity of 800 The hall has a maple
floor and is finished in Georgia pine,
shellaced and vanished in the natural
color The ceiling is metal painted white
with green border. The side walls are
plastered and left white down to the
window stills, where they are met by a
wainscotting which extends around the
building. There is a dressing room on
each side of the stage and a stairway
leading to the basement, at the rear.
Heat is supplied by a hot-air wood
furnace put in by E. S. Fuller & Co. of
Saxtons River and Townshend, the cost
of which, with the ventilation, was
greatly increased by the law requiring
the conditions to meet the approval of
the state board of health, though no
doubt the restrictions are all in the
line of progress. E. w. Phillips super
intended the work in person, and was
ably assisted by r. w. Blood and F. A.
Blood. Architect Drew has expressed
himself as well satisfied with both the
material used and the work done
The selectmen and citizens of the town
are to be congratulate ted on the success
full completion of an undertaking of so
much moment. 1t Is an ornament to
the town and a monument to the skill
of her mechanics. The plans for the
dedication exercises are not completed
but no doubt they will be in keeping
with the whole enterprise.

In the early settlements of New Eng
land the town and parish were identi-
cal. Townshend was modelled accord
ing to the New England plan, thus a
building was erected in 1890 to serve as
a "meeting-house" for public worship
and also as a place in which to hold the
annual town meeting, as well as any
gathering of a public nature, political or
otherwise. In the development of the
community life the secular and the reli-
gious became more clearly defined, which
led to a desire on the part of the church
to have a separate room for its Sunday
services. Accordingly they added another
story to the Westinghouse and fitted
up an audience room exclusively for re-
ligious purposes, thereby dissolving part
nership with the town far as the
room to worship in was concerned, but
not in relation to the building as
whole, the town still retaining its claim
on the lower floor of the old meeting
house. This situation continued down to
the present time Many of the church
people however had come TO feel that
they should have control of the entire
building and not be subjected to the
annoyances which must of necessity &C.
cur while part of the building was used
or rented by the town to other organ
izations or companies for meetings or
entertainments.
Many citizens had come to feel that
the town could afford to have a build
ing all it's own to use for any and all
purposes for which public building
stands in the community. Therefore,
after much agitation and no lit
tie discussion. the town voted in its
annual meeting in March, 1908, to relin-
quish its interests in the old meeting
house, for $1,000, to the First Congrega-
tional society, the town to retain pos
session for two years from that date.
In the annual town meeting in March,
1902 a committee was appointed, con-
sisting of Harrison Chamberln and R.
w. Blood to investigate as to the cost
and bring in plans for a town hall. This
committee reported to the annual meet
ing in March, 1910, when it was voted to
build a town house at a cost not to ex
coed $500. The selectmen, consisting of
]. III. Ware, F. II. Willard and w. w.
VanNess were instructed to carry out
the vote of the town. Harrison Cham
berlin was added to the committee, but
later he declined to serve, the select
men transacting the business After
much delay a site was secured on land
sold by R. D. Phillips and DIR. Parker
for $625, located between the residences
of Mr.. Phillips and DR.. Parker, two
doors from the Inn, which Is thought
to be the best lot in the village for that
purpose.

PROTECTION"

In its savage and reckless attack
on American securities, the Berlin
Tages Zeitun discloses the fear
which American competition
awakens in the minds of our Ger
man friends. 1t says:
"At time when the German steel
i1iI5try has to CO mpete with
America as it's strongest rival IN
South America and the far east, it
would amount to treason to our
own interests If we allowed our
selves to be made the dumping
ground for billions of worthlcsls
bonds and railway shares"
Now glance at the facts the
other way around. If America is
the strongest rival in South
America and the far east for the
German steel industry, why should
American be taxed $3.50 a ton on
ingots and steel rails and So q ton
on structural steel? II our steel
makers can undersell Germany in
the open markets Of the world,
need they fear that Germany, or
any other nation. will undersell
them in our own markets? In the
light of such facts is no "protection"
a humbug7
