_THE REVIEW

tormed. Both groups “held ‘their.
‘meetings in the Temperance Hall
and, in addition to performing the
usual functions and duties of their
own organization, they assisted
the Farmers’ Institute in their
social functions and raising funds
for general purposes. They have
also. been responsible for the
ladies’ section of the Agricultural
Society. a
_ As membership in each ©
organization declined and
original members found it in-

volunteer labour or funds for the ©
upkeep of the Temperance Hall,

group-of business men for their
meetings.’ ‘The Central Saanich
Chamber. of Commerce. also has .
‘had: its ups and downs, as far as
-active membership ‘is. concerned
and it, too, finds it simply does © {

-At its last meeting on. Tuesday,
April 17th, the Central Saanich
_ Chamber of Commerce resolved
to dedicate the entire premises to

Asis’ the ‘case today, other
clubs: and. organizations were
forming in the district, causing a
diversion and the membership of
the Temperance Society . dwin-

the last surviving. trustee and
prior to his death, he gave the
executors of his estate in-
structions to-transfer the Tem-
perance Hall to the South Saanich
Farmers’ Institute and the South
Saanich . Women’s dnsuivate as
‘joint. owners.

For years, the. Women’s | In-
stitute had an interest. in. the
building because, in 1919, they -
contributed » $450. towards © the.
‘building of the’annex..:

In 1949, in accordance with the ,
wishes of. the late -and last:
trustee, W.D. Michell, the Hall

known as the Institute Hall, but is:
