WOULD RESTORE
OLD CITY HALL
Historical Society Seeks Sen
timent on Project Re-
quiring $175,0O0
TO BE HOME FOR
THAT ORGANIZATION

Oficers OF the Historical Society OF
Delaware are sending out letters to VIII
minstonians inquiring the sentiment OF
the community as to the restoration OF
old city hall. The letter is signed by
George A. Elliott, President; Charles R.
Miller, Thomas +. Bayard, John B. Bird.
John p. Nields, Robert II. Richards. d.
rectors. and Christopher L. Ward, sec
retary.
The letter reads:
This letter Is not a request for a
subscription but for your opinion in
the matter referred to.
The old Town Hall was purchased
three years ago by the Historical SOci-
ETY. OF Delaware with view 10 its re-
storation and maintenance as an his
torical monument, and as a permanent
home for the society. War conditions
made IL impossible TO proceed at the
time. The building was used by The
Delaware Red Cross as its headquarters
and was vacated January 4.
"In its present condition II will de-
teriorate rapidly and 1t is necessary
that the restoration be begun immedi-
ately or the project abandoned. The
society has invested over $4,000 in the
building and has no funds TO meet the
interest on a mortgage OF 100000 and
other current expenses.
"The interesting and beautiful char
acter OF the restored building is indi-

phlet sent you today under separate
