TOWN HALL CLOCK
DAMAGED BY GALE. A little over a week ago, a big southerly badly upset plans for the in stalling of the mechanism of the Town Hall dock, by blowing in a few sectors of the special opal glass used for the dials. The trouble then was apparently that the putty, placed round the glass only the day previous, had not set hard, and the missing sections wore replaced by the workmen on Tuesday. On Tuesday night it blew from the north, and opal glass crashed badly to the floor below, the trouble seemingly being that the glass itself gave wnv before the pressure of the wind, for the putty is still in the iron framing, and docs not appear to have been forced out before the glass gave way.
