Tbat the movement should be supported on pnblic groundp, as a distinct advantage to tbe town, independently of its being, a3 ic is believed to br, a sound and remunerative investment. 6 1 hat although seveial schemes hove from to timo to time been prr.poied for providing a luitable Theatre for W»ngimr, they have all fallen through owing to conflicting interest?, and to the fact that the population of the towu would not jn-tify a second Theatre whiLt the Oddfellows' Hall ie st il used for th*t purpose.
