SIE: E\TY-SEs E' TH YEAR NO. 1 GODERICH, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1924 THE SIGNAL PRINTING CO., LIMITED. Publishers. Will Give $12,000 For Town Hall Robe. MarKay Wants to Sea Something ne uta Way OIt.ivie Tm The Signal is pleioed to announce that Mr. Hobert liat•Kiy, Nelson street. will contribute the sum of $l (Ilse towards the erection of e1 new town hall. ,This 1s lu 'lieu of his offer ,nude s,we week* ago for the building of a community hall. Mr. MacKay still ts-111•res, rightly enough, that a t,mUnunity hall such as lie had plauued would it a very desirable in- stitntlon for the town, but as there appears to he better proepeet of early ae:1011 it. the matter of a new town loll. nod us \lr. MacKay wants some - tiling Boni• vrithout linnetewaary delay, he Is willing to make his gift as in- dieat.sl. It is understood, of (verse, that the municipal buildlne would in- clude a large auditorium for public Meeting purposes. and It is this pert of the scheme in which air. MacKay 1. ,..pscially Interested. Mr. MacKay stated to The Signal that he approved of the artk•le in this paper last week ou the subject of ',irk improvement and wished to do ••)m.• - thing that would assist hu working out the program therein ind1 -attd. Ile has given the matter a good deal of consideration and he thele that a definite start should be made at an early date, as postponement WAS.: 41s- couragement and a cooll*g oft of the entbnalasm which is a requisite for any such undertaking. While discussing this matter Mr. MacKay expressed the opinion that local capital should be available to provide the funds needed for the erec- tion of the proposed town hall. He calculated that $76,000. in addition to the $12,000 wbtch be is prepared to contribute, would provide a fine mod- ern civic building. People sleeking in- vestment for their surplus funds) are more and more turning to municipal and Government bonds, and he believed local investors would be plating their money wisely in the purchase of the de- bentures that would be issued for this undertaking. Mayor Gallow and other civic rep- resentatives, Including Reeve Mac - Ewan, Deputy Reeve Moaning', Councillor Holmes and Town Clerk Knox, called on Mr. MacKay during the week and were greatly pleased w11th the spirit which he showed In dis- cussing municipal matters. In spite of pts tong illness, his mentality is vig- orous and keen, and he mantains a remarkably vivid and fresh outlook up- on current affairs. It Is proposed -though Mr. Mac- Kay doers not make the suggestion - that should the plan above outlined be carried oat the auditorium of the new bnUdtng +should be called Mac- Kay Hall. in honor of the donor of the handsome gift whkh le so gener- ously offered.
