Trustees. September 23^d, 1873

Design upon M^t Auburn bill=head used by Patrick O'Brien on bills issued for services ren^d by him. Referred to Spec. Com. cons. of Pres^t & M^r Choate.

It having been made to appear by a communication
from the Superintendent, dated enclosing
copies of the bill=head used by the corporation in rendering ac/cs
against proprietors, and of the bill=head used by M^r Patrick
O'Brien in making out bills for work done by him, that the
wood=cut of M^t Auburn gateway used on the corporation
bill=head appeared also on the bill=head of M^r O'Brien, the
result being the creation of an impression that M^r O'Brien
was an agent of the corporation, or in some way connected
therewith; after discussion, it was

Voted, – that the subject be referred to a special
Committee consisting of the President and M^r Choate.

permission for the removal of the trees, which removal had
been made. The President having requested that his
action in the premises might be ratified by the Board, it was

Above action of Pres^t ratified by Trustees
