APPEARANCE OF THE TOWN HALL.
"Tom the Carpenter," in a letter to The Post, remarks :—"I: — "I was wondering if those who are responsible for cleaning our fine city go about with their heads down. Visitors will' think so when pass, ing our fine Town Hall, and see the filth that abounds on tho pretty walls." It is difficult to discover from the letter whether "Tom" refers to the internal or internal walls. The outer walls are covered with stucco, which has been attacked by smoke arid various agents of the weather, but it is not cor^idored, by competent critics, that a ip-hvbuh-ing of the exterior with more " ■o, or with cleansing appliances, vn. ";e worth the expenditure. The inr.c, 'Is have lost their old-time clear whl = but they are not "filthy." Thcj .'c very dirty, in places, some month- ago, but were washed down after a reference io 'their condition had appeared in The Post. Tho present discolouration, noticeable here and there, is not due to the omission of Fcrubbing or swabbing by the caretakers.
