Two years ago the Village Counâ€" cil expended over five hundred dolâ€" lars on the building and it was painted both inside and outside and reshingled. Carnegie Library to be Built in its Place Three months ago the Public Liâ€" brary Board appeared before the council and stated that they had been granted a Carnegie Library and asked for the old school grounds to erect the library on as the land purchased for that purpose two years ago was not suitable. The council acceeded to their wishes. Tenders were advertised for the purchase of the building, but none When the building was first erect ed, the original trust stated that it was to be held as a school until a more suitable one was provided in its stead. This was done about five years ago, when the new â€"Public School was built. The High Scool occupying two of the rooms in the new school and this week moved inâ€" to a fine new school of its own. In order to make these additions, Mr. Wm. Forbes (present postmasâ€" ter) and the late Rev. Mr. Mills (Chas. Mills‘ father) suggested that the money be raised by special asâ€" sessment. A special assessment was made in : North Grimsby, South Grimsby and the North end _ of Caistor and the work done. By so doing the hall and school came unâ€" der the complete control of the school board, of which «Mr. Forbes and Mr. Mills were trustees. At this time, these two gentlemen wanted to have a new building erected on the property at present owned by Dr. Hall on Paton St. and at that time owned by the late James Metcalfe. Transferred to the Village About five years ago, the old build ing was transferred by the trustees to the Village Council, as their trust had ended. The late Peter B. Nelles was one of the original â€" trustees. Who â€" the other gentlemen associated _ with him on the trustee board were, we do not know. Additions Built in Early 70‘s Two additions were built to the old Town Hall in the early seventies. Twelve feet being built on to the front ‘end and twentyâ€"four feet on the back end. The work was done by Mr. John Duvall. The mason work was done by the late Patrick Farrell, whose sons, Mr. John C. Farrell and Edric Farrell still reside in our midst. \ Built in 1857 The original Town Hall and gramâ€" mar school) was built by public subâ€" scription inm the year 1857, or three years befor® the Grand Trunk Railâ€" way, or;;; Great Western, as it was kno in those days, started to run their trains through this disâ€" tl'i(«‘*-z ’(‘ i 70 1044 upon which the hall was builk, was donated by Mr. Wim. Nelâ€" les, grandfather of Mr. James W. G. Nelles, now living in North Grimsâ€" by, and the ground wags cleared and the building built right in the heart of the woods or on .an old Indian trail now known as Depot St. The Best of Lumber Used All the lumber in the building was kiln dried and timbers were hewed out by hand. The lumber and timâ€" bers were paid for out of the subâ€" scription fund and were supplied by the late Wm. Wilson, father of Mr. Edwin Wilson, now â€" residing on Paton St., Grimsby. Mr. Wilson done the carpenter work gratis. We will try in the brief space alâ€" lotted to us to give you a little of the history of this famous building, which has been so staunch a friend to the citizens of this district for the past half century. We are unâ€" able.to give you the history in full as we @re unable to get it all in detail. When Auctioneer Jas. A.

Mr. Priest, Chas. H. Piper to Margar® L. VanDyke, both of Hamilton. The engine house is being built of brick and concrete. The boilers are now on the ground ready to be put in place. The big warehouse has not been started yet but will soon be under way. The big work building is up and ready for the roof, while the foundaâ€" tions for two of the other buildings are finished and waiting for the carâ€" penters. When completed, this plant will be the largest fruit canning factory in Canada, and that is saying a lot. CANNING FACTORY GOING UP FAST The new canning factory on St. Andrews Ave. is certainly a hive of activity these days, over sixty men being at work rushing the buildings up. It will be quite interesting, when the building is taken down to know whether these documents and papers are well preserved or not. This grand old building has stood the cold wintry blasts of 54 winâ€" ters and the hot sun of a like number of summers, but it has served its purposeâ€"and must go. A very few men are living in Grims by today, who remember the buildâ€" ing of the original Town Hall, but there are some. Dr. Theron Woolâ€" verton distinctly remembers. having been present at the opening of the old Town Hall about fiftyâ€"three or fiftyâ€"four years ago. He remembers his father the late Jonathan Woolâ€" verton depositing papers, documents and coins in the cavity in the corâ€" ner stone. In olden days, the old hall‘s walls sheltered the best speakers of their day and many an election fight has taken place there. Will Remain Only in Memory Many the time has "Uncle Tom" been flogged, has "Little Eva" passed away, upon the stage of the old Town Hall, but they will tread the boards of that stage no more. a keen interest, will be reâ€"built on the property owned by him for many years.
