If you will suffer the suggestion,
I think the 2d clause of Art. 29 of the by-
laws - p. 48 ^to the end of the first sentence, should be amended to read -
"The Trustees may also guarantee the
perpetual repair of lots on the pay-
ment to the Treasurer of such sum,
in each case, as the Committee
on Lots shall deem sufficient."
As the least sum that can be received
at all is $100, there would seem to be no
danger in leaving this clause without the
minimum limit of $100, as the Commee on Lots
would not be very likely to guarantee per-
petual care for a smaller sum than they are
at liberty to accept at any rate, viz $100.
I would advise that the first clause should
remain as it now stands.
The application upon the lot of Mrs. Skinner
no. 1175, made by Col. Wm. R. Lee, I suppose
can be acted on at once.
Very resp.y yours

Dear Sir, I went with the
Supt. this morning & measured the
two lots named by you on Arethusa
Path and found that they were
good for two lots with space in-
tervening of 400 feet each.- But a
gentleman spoke to him two or three
days since, and did not wish
Capt Winsor to sell them until he
could see him once more. He
wished for two lots. I believe the Super-
intendents agreed not to sell them until
he should come out again. I
think that whoever agrees to take
the whole piece solid will be likely
to get it. We measured on the front
from inside to inside of curb 54 1/2 feet.
The back line would measure a little more.
Yours truly
A.J. Coolidge
Sec.y Mt. A.C.
