meeting for the current year "to report at an adjourned
meeting on any vacancies now existing in the officers of

also, "to consider the expediency of establishing a
Standing Committee of three on grounds, avenues,
and paths, and to define the duties and powers of
such committee" - have attended to the duty
assigned them, and submit the following report:

First - They recommend that Jonathan Mann be
appointed to fill the office of Assistant Superintendent of

immediate charge of the workmen, and see ^that they faithfully
perform the work assigned them, and ^{to do} such other duties as
the Trustees, through their Superintendent, shall direct.

Second. Notwithstanding the faithful and official
services rendered to the Corporation for a series of years^{by the present incumbent,}
circumstances occurred at the late annual meetaings, much
to the regret of your Committee, which under it manifest
that it is the expectation of a large portion of the proprietors
thet the office of Secretary be filled by another person for
the ensuing year; therefore in order to produce harmony
and the best interests of the corporation, your committee
recommend that this office be filled by the election o
ofAustin J. Coolidge Esq.
