M. <br /> The following presented by Lincoln P. Cole, Jr. : <br /> (On behalf of all, the members of the Board of Selectmen) <br /> I move to suspend the rules and adopt the following resolution: <br /> We, Town Meeting Members of Lexington, Massachusetts, do hereby <br /> express our profound concern over recent events in Selma, Alabama <br /> and over the act of desecration committed at a Lexington church last <br /> Saturday night. As citizens and as elected representatives of the <br /> birthplace of American Liberty, we know how precious is the right to <br /> vote and the right peaceably to assemble and petition government <br /> for redress of grievances. We are deeply disturbed that today, <br /> almost on the 190th anniversary of the Battle of Lexington, such <br /> violent hostility to these rights exists. <br /> We call upon governmental officials at every level to use their <br /> full powers to secure for each and every American the full exercise <br /> of the rights guaranteed in our Constitution, and we dedicate <br /> ourselves accordingly. When these rights are truly secure, it will <br /> again be a "glorious morning for America." <br /> Carried Unanimously 8:15 P. M. <br /> Article 2. J. Harper Blaisdell, Jr. moves that the Appropriation <br /> Committee Report be accepted and placed on file. <br /> Carried Unanimously 8:15 P. M. <br /> Van T.

Eaton moved that the_ Report of the Cary <br /> Lecture Committee be accepted, placed on file and the <br /> committee discharged. <br /> Carried Unanimously 8:15 P. M. <br /> Otis S. Brown, Jr. read the Annual Report of the Hunting <br /> Safety Committee. Mr. Brown moved that the report be <br /> accepted as read and placed on file. <br /> Carried Unanimously 8:20 P.
