In regards to the Orwell Town Hall: The town would be best served if the people in Orwell chose to own the Town Hall, not the school or the Slate Valley School District. Let the townspeople make the very important decisions as to fix the hall up to standards or build new. Basically, the building is very salvageable. The framework is very sound. It needs a new kitchen, bathroom and a more convenient entrance for senior citizens. Walker E. James Orwell
