A New Hall

St. Thomas' parish is soon to have a new hall. It will be built on the vacant lot just north of the school, facing Klizabeth-st. lts dimensions will be about 100x50 feet. It will be a frame structure, one story high, and will have aseating'capacity of 800. Sunday services will be held in this building as eoon as it is completed, the present church being much too sinall for the large congregations. The cost of the hall will be about $2,500. As soon as the nrojected new church is built on the corner, St. Thomas hall will be used for entertainments and "social gatherings, thus serving much the same purpose that the Harris and McMillan halls now serve.
