Used For Many Meetings
For over a period of years the
hall was used' for council meetings,
nonlinations and elections and so -
dal functions. In 1902 Oahu McIn-
tosh was elected clerk of the town-
ship. He built an offloe on his own
property in the village and the
council met at his office. Because
of this and other hells being open-
ed in the village the township ball
has been seldom used,
On 1935 the committee appointed
by the Women's Institute later -
viewed the council and suggested
to open the hall for community
purposes. lu that year a new roof
and exterior painting was done by
the township. During the whiterth
mons the Iustltate have been
holding social evenings, the pro -
seeds to go towards redeeoimtott of -
the hall,
This fall the Women's institute
let the contract to A, E. King and
Stanley Speiran to redecorate the
interior of the ball.
