No. 10;| jby two par ities, then members of, the jSons of Tem perance, hut reserving the nppcr part, which was to bo used for temperance purposes first; after that for town pur- i poses. This .agreomeht j was entered into in tho year' 1854. Top. lower part of the hall was j to bo, and was used as a school-room ;.for sqmeiyears. When tho, now school house was. built the Trastees gave |ovor ^hcir'right of the hall to tho Council, lippnl consideration that the latter would ^ivo them the street vJhich rail between tbo old gravpr yard and tho school honsje, to be an ad-, dition to tho school-yard This is how tho Council claim permission to tho hall.
