The volume records the monthly meetings of the committee of Father Mathew Temperance Hall, Church Street. The first page contains a list of the names and terms of offices of the Capuchin friars who acted as president and vice-president of Father Mathew Hall (1893-1943). The minutes refer to routine matters of administration of the Hall’s operation including the elections of officers, financial accounts and applications for the hiring and use of the Hall by various groups. The meeting of 3 July 1935 considered the proposal for the showing of ‘talkies’ (sound pictures) in the Hall. A typescript memorandum to Fr. Michael O’Shea OFM Cap., President, about procuring films for the Hall is pasted into the volume.
