Kditor Chronicle: in regat'd to the proposal site for the library building, I tfaiin the priv ilege, as a representative of tl?e fam ily through whose- founder Camden enjoys the unique distinction of 'pos sessing many hnndsoine open ' squirffcs or commons, of saying a few words. There has never l>een any doubt lu the minds of our native population, until recently, by whom, and for what purpose the squares were given. To prove this in law. would be Impossible, since the records were lost or destroy ed ; but it would seem equally Impos sible to prove that any person, or | Ma sons can. or may divert the gift to any other purpose than that for which it was intended.. ~ There can be little doubt that they weiv meant to be open squares, or commons, as in England, and not for building purposes. ' In saying this I disclaim all Intention of taking Issue with any who may dif fer In opinion oh the subject, but it is, quite possible that in putting a build ing on one of the square^ a dangerous president may be established. i ttome years ago, as we all remember, there was talk of putting ?U> a railroad station and other like buildings in Hampton Park, Think what that would have meant! Very fortunately, toubllc sentiment was against it iind the idea was abandoned ? for the time. But there may yet come a time when traditions and sentiment wilb alike be eliminated and who can say \to what Uses our noble, <*vnst sjHpvs may be applied? Magazine Hill, wlilcli was formerly our ojkmi couimon, furnishes an abjeH lesson and an lllustrpjlon of ?hch pos sibility. Home of our citizens possibly mlglit prefer that the library lie placed In the business center , of the town, which would seem the logical place fru it, at least convenient.. There is safe ty and a certain stability Ih the con census fit opinion. | Why not.. In a mat ter wbicli concerns the town, give the people a ehanc<\ to vote? jfofc myself, I feel that I am scarcely entitled to an opinion, but having a peculiar in terest in the welfare of this town, some facts which may not. have been duly and . tp. make: a suggestion. It has been definitely stated .recently, that Jbseph Kershaw did not N give Hampton and other parky to the town If this be true, It "is important that' the mistake should be rectified, the -name nf tlmo-cnl dnrrnr rp veiled and credit given to whom credit Is due. If on the other band there is no reason aide doubt that the impression which prevailed for considerably over one hundred years Is correct, why under mine tradition? It Is due the public that all doubt should be. cleared up on the vubjrH, and it is also an act of Justice to the memory of a !*en4factor. C. D. Kershaw. PERSONAL.
