PETERSFIELD PUBLIC HALL
SOME £1,200 NOW NEEDED
We publish hereunder a further list of subscriptions received by the treasurer of the Public Hall Building Fund. More than three-quarters of the amount needed has now been promised; but it is important, if the work is to be started during the fine weather, that the remaining £1,200 or so should be contributed as quickly as possible.
The actual number of subscribers is still a relatively small one, very many who must certainly wish to help in this piece of communal work not having yet notified the Treasurer of their intention. As has been previously explained, the promoters will hand the new building over to the public directly it is completed, to be held as the common property of all. It is, therefore, earnestly to be hoped that everyone in Petersfield and the surrounding neighbourhood who has not yet done so will, within the next week or two, send to the Treasurer, Mr. Mackarness, 16, High Street, Petersfield, such contribution as he or she can afford, whether it be half-a-crown or a hundred pounds. It is the wish of the Committee that, since all are common owners, all shall be able to feel that they have taken part in the creation of this much-needed addition to the public welfare.
The Committee is a truly representative one, including as it does the Chairman and late Chairman of the Urban District Council, the President and late President of the Chamber of Commerce, the Chair- man of the Ratepayers’ Association, Mr. Alan Lubbock, the representative on the County Council, together with Mr. Mackarness, Dr. Gabbatt, Mr. C. F. Dickens, Miss Kathleen Merritt, Miss Hilda Gammon, Miss Tomkins. Mr. C. W. Seward, and Dr. Harry Roberts. With such a Commitee local interests will be well looked after, and every aspect will be carefully considered. We understand that every decision so far come to has been arrived at unanimously. The public is not always aware of the difficulties of the problems involved: but everyone may feel assured that none but public considerations will influence the Committee’s action
