Mr F.R. Bunker, Gate Keeper &c.

Dear Sir,

For the greater facility of regulating the accounts, and to render ourselves less liable to mistakes, you will please make the following changes in the practice of accounts & payments at the Gate: --

I wish your account such as we can enter upon the cash book in detail as rec^d from you. So, instead of starting the account with a statement of the money you hold, & ending in the same manner, I wish the account to correspond with the amount of money you remit me. Begin with the first item received, and transcribe from your cash book just as far as will make the amount of money you wish to remit, after charging the payments: So that the difference between receipts & payments will be the amount remitted.

Then as to paying bills -- such bills are can easily be paid at this office, as for instance, John Runey, & Morss & Whyte in the June 12^th a/c, get them approved, & send them here for payment.

Instead of carrying the pay of ^^casual laborers into the acct, pay them, keep the vouchers, enter the amt on the next payroll, & I will settle with you when I pay.

Yours Resp.y

A.J. Coolidge Treas^r

Report,

That Lot 2017 now stands in the name of one A. H. Powers, whose present residence is unknown to the Secretary, and after search has not been found.

M^r Blackmar has, however, presented to the Committee a deed of an undivided half of said Lot, dated June 18^t, 1856, to Charles E. Evans, executed by Charles Cook as attorney for Powers, with the Power of Attorney from Powers to Cook. It further appears from the records of interments that said Cook was recognized by the Corporation as the attorney of Powers, and signed the order for the original interments. M^r Evans was also recognized as a joint proprietor of Lot 2017, and as such holds a ticket of admission to
