PROPOSED NEW TOWN HALL.
Since the date of the last Report, the Charity Commissioners
decided to propose a scheme for the management of the Poor
Lands. This has prevented the final acceptance or otherwise of
the conditional offer of the Vestry of £4,000 for the ground
between the Western end of Green Street, opposite St. John's
Church and Vicarage and the Avenue leading to the Lunatic
Asylum, as a site for a New Hall. It is understood the new
Scheme is drafted and the issue of it is daily expected.
