The Town Commissioners have
at last given heed to, we think, a
very important matter, the secur-
ing Of the center piece Of the Town
Hall ceiling. This has been loose
and threatening a descent upon the
heads of those beneath it for some
time. Yesterday the hall commit

place and securely bolted to the
floor above. They also had placed
over the entrance doors from the
street, a large bracket gas lamp
The need of this lamp has long
been felt, as the darkness about
this doorway after leaving tht
bright light of the hall, and espec

very materially lessen the danger
of fall to our pleasure goers II
which they have heretofore beer
subjected.
