THE RANFURLY PUBLIC HALL

TO THE EDITOR Sir, —There seems to be a good deal of comment on the action of the Ranfurly Hall Committee in selling the section at the back of the hall for £4O. Personally, I think the committee was quite right to let it go.- Their only mistake was in . not letting the hide go with the tail, and selling the hall too. because I have never sat in a hall more cold and draughty than that at Ranfurly. The hall should be more convenient for us north-enders, and a better situation, I should say, would be near or about Dalgety's store. The residential portion of Ranf urly is all the other way, and I don't see why we residents of the north end should have to trudge right down to the bottom end of the town on a wet night and then, perhaps, face a blizzardgoing home again. If the members of the committee wish to cater for the convenience of the Ranf urly»residents they should sell the 'hall and build, an up-tovdate new'hallih "the'fie ar t of the residential quarter, as where it is now there are only about half a dozen houses and the town is rapidly expanding the other way.—l am, etc., North End Resident. Ranfurly, November 22. 1941.
