During discussion of the condition ot the Town Hail and offices at last even--1 ing’s Borough Council meeting, memi hers mentioned that it would be a wise 'plan for the Council to consider the establishment of a building fund having in view as its object the erection of a new Town Hall and oifices. Ot several proposals submitted one was that the museum room at the Free Pubj lie Library buildings would make a very suitable hall if the exhtnics v,cutransferred to a room in the present) Town Hall buildings. The majority of I members however, agreed that if* fl® , would be necessary, portion of the j room was partitioned off for an office I the remaining part would be too small j to meet requirements as a hall. His Worship the Mayor said that with the I building fund idea, although a good one, it would he some considerable tune before sufficient capital could be raised to erect buildings, and he thought that the best plan to accept would he to build with borrowed money a hall and offices. All wore of the opinion that there was an urgent need for new buildings and that the question was a pressing one.
