THE MINISTER'S RESIDENCE.
(To the 'Editor of ths Mount Ida Chronicle.)
Sir, Can you inform me why our minister is to be deprived of such a requisite and comfortable appendage as a chimney, which he so joiuch desires, to his proposed new builcling ? The Committee could not have seen the thing clearly in a £ s. d. point of view; if so, they hold our worthy minister, with all his usefulness, at a very low estimation —considering that, by substituting iron for weatherboard, and reducing boarding inside, &e., as is now decided upon being done,, the said stone chimney, with register grate, mantlepiece, &c., could have been done for the paltry sum of eight pounds in addition to what it will now cost with a stove and piping.
Surely there are men in this township, both qualified and willing, who, were they permitted to come forward in time, would willingly aid, without looking after the loaves and fishes, in economising . expenditure of public money, and at the same time securing the comfort of their minister. By inserting the above you will oblige Att Expected Subscriber-. Mount Ida, June 3, 1869. . "
