town hall and such an one with a few changes would suit acton very well h wa in favor of tho erection of a hall and thought thu villaga could not do louger without one ur d ifenloreon would go in with lha rttepayeis to build a town hall he thought it wa a very necessary improvement aud would he an otni cent to acton he would lika to hear what alt the ratepayers present had to say in the niatler as a councillor he would not go in for the erection of a hall unleis tho ratepayers were unanimously iu frrarof it as the desiic of the present council i to what the peipt wish them to do the opinion of tho council was given at tho last meeting and it is uow the peoples turn to give their- opinion would like to see a fine ball erected hut did not wish to be cjctravtgiut iu the matter sujor w allan thought wo needed a town hall aud would be in favor of erecting agcodouo he would have it on a central site on the ftont street would have it constructed with stores on first floor main hall on second and society balls above with council cham ber lockup etc iu basement if built he wanted them to be sure and not put it on a buck street and to builda good large respectable hall str thomas slooro was m favor of building on the main street arid one such as sijor allan had described one which could be erected for from f 000 to 5500 the revenue to be derived from the hall would wots than pay the interest and he would support the thing str fret secord said he was in favor f i he election of a tnwa lull as acton needs one very btdly but ho did not concur with stijur allan as to the building of stores in connection with the lall did not believe in the cunncil competing with ratepayers and is thero are sufficient stotes in town he would go against the corporation erecting any sir r warren thought the discus jon referring to xhe plan of the halt was premature would like to hear tf the people were in favor of a town hull thooght the village was getting along very well without a new town hall the revenue of the hall might pay the interest but the principal would hive to be met sir d d christie said that years go a town hill hid been spoken of and he thought that both a town hall and lock up were necessary but that a suitable building could he erected for lesa than the amount named by a ocmer speaker an erpeusive hall would be a burden o acton but as tuoney could now be obtained at a low rate of intereat he thought the present a very favorable time to build a uioder ately priced hall the council should be careful not to submit a bylaw unless they were certain the bylaw would carry sir john cameron was in favor of building a town hall at i a moderate price would commence the building so that the design could be carried out to the end xnd not have to curtail after ha building was half completed and spoil the v appearance would have cells on first floor aud no base ment sir john warren asked if a hall was necessary and if the municipality is able to- build a hall without injury to itself the village was not in debt at present aud ha did not believe in getting into debt georgetown is heavily in debt and it is hard for them to get along at present ifa man in acton wanted to sell out altha had to do was to insert a notice to that effect in the free press and hispcoperty would soon be disposed of sot ot in georgetown debt is against the pub lic interests of a place thought acton wanted to show off and spread herself by building i town hal he asked the working men to consrder the ques tion well before they ge5 acton laco debt li d w campbell favored the erection of a torfn hall at a moderate cost sir w p brown was pleased with the manner in which sir warren had expressed himself- ho thought the cost of a town ball would be much more than the convenience was worth would like to see a town hsll in actoh if we could get it without costing any thing sir james slaore tbonght that if garden field vety properly owuer piesent would rpeak on tho uhjedt it would not bo fair- expression of tha opinion of the people the village should be can vasscd on the question wm in favor of a hsll hut thought that ono costing leas than 0000 would do ul mr d hendetson was pleased to see the people to outspoken on the question that was the phjocl of the meeting thought the question raised hy str secord should hje considered slid that the village should build notb ing in competition to ratepayer aclon would not tjo better ablo m ten years to build i hull than at present mi w wordou ssked il a talepayer signed a ptliliori on the question would h bo in duty bound to vole forrlho bylaw j l the rocvo said to he consistent ho should vole for hy law sir john speight could not see how man could consistently sign apetition in favor of a byliw aud then vole against it acton needs a town hall lock up crc hall and hook and ladder company and ha wiiiu favor ot supplying all of them we might havo a irh ene of these nights which would cost much more town hall we do require town hall and did not thiuk it was because aclon wanted to spread hervelf that she wauud a hall ite was in favor of it and if the council saw fit to build it aud pay fnr it iu one year he would do his shure mr tho nas moore was now certain that all present were filly impressed that we need a hull str fred secjid thought a suitable hall could he built fur lets than so000 mr john speight wanted a bell put on the halt mr j aits matthews thought a hall thould lie built at a moderate cost he oulj be iu favor of a small market plice iu connection lf the thing ia further agitated
