PROPOSED PUBLIC HALL FOR HAMIL- . TON.

•Sib,— As a constant reader of your paper my attention hap been drawn by thsj l»i« openings Ut Alexandra and Te Awamutu of a Public Hall tor those settlements, I bare asked myielf the •question why Hamilton, which may, lit leait at present, bo looked upon as the leading settlement, should not be to the, ran in this matter. Surely, *ir, there must Jb« »n »p*tby on the part of the •••ttlert on this subject, or -tuoh an institution, the benefit of 'which tar the>~f\**f will readily be admitted; would Jong ore 4his liar© been- sought r iot tut* etoiainejL , I have bea* much stuuok ' «whlUt residing, tyjre with the ut*er abicac« otany. ' r**ort fer residents and vi|it#M dn whicH' r ati agreeable and' profitable evening •could bo sjient. Vedm tke labk «f«lris lh«e ■noticed jaaany dnrenlfO apend profitle*s evenings dn the Billiard-room or Hotel. IXbink tba -«»%f gcctthui mooted' is deseruog of i*« tkougntful * consideration of all intereated in the progress 4nd w«lfare of tbir thriving township. I trusted , «eethe matteritaken in hsjnd'ky some «f those in >our, midat who are ere.r foremost in erery. <word atid work. <Bj an appHoftion to the genetral government I believe a reserve allotment in ith» to wnttip could be obtained, either as a ire* igrtot, Or at a KoonAal J>rice, and contribution* | for such a laudable ob'jeot woulS surely readUy ! >be forthcoming. While the Hall would be avail•able for public meetings, assosiated with it miight be a Library and Reading 'Boom ; classes ifor-»mutu«l improveauent on varioius matters 11 wo«l{d ajao spring out of the .facilities afforded, j With reference to the Library department, I am • (informed there is amuelees for such in the 'hands •of our lobal authorilies, and application has only/ to bft made to obtain a share of the Annual Govyernttwnt grant fjr such purposes. With the' {increasing development of this Township the 4tbove suggestions -will surely command thoughttful attention, and will, il trust, act as a key note•to stimulate><nergetic action to accomplish the tw«.in,dicated.— rl am&c PBOawssi. ; Hamilton West, Nov. sth, ia7§. -
