HAMILTON PUBLIC HALL COMPANY.

Sib, — It has been said that" of the proposed ~4oo ■hares, winch was. to 'form the subscribed capital ' of the Hamilton Public Hall Company, aonae 249 were subscribed, If so why ia not the matter further proceeded with. Surely such a sum— £24o 1 ought to proride jl decent and suitable building of the kind 1 required, or at any rate such portion of it as is more fjiimcdiately necessary, »o arrang- ""■ ing tho plan that waiting and other room* can be added' when funds tire more available. Indeed, for the matter of that I think the Company might without any risk to speak of, <r r en if it ' cost £359 instead of £250 "become reiponsible for the payment of the interest, the debt it-oif remaining on mortgage on the building. Money can be got at eight per cent, and the Hamilton community would be a poor epTrited tjueiuieedif it would hot get dp arid patronise one ' ' Entertainment " in the coureG of the year, ' the proceods of which would be tufficient to meet this liability. On the contrary a smei of well devised and carried ont public entertainments, would, I believe, with 1 the rent of the Hall oa various occasions, pay off dfibt and f interett altogether before the end of the second year. Trusting you will find space foi these few remarks in your valuable journal and that sotne- ' thing will be d6ne to remove the approbnum from Hamilton thai' its settlers though more vreathly are Ipss enterprising than those of the ' iip country settlements. — I am, &c, W. 8.
