vember meeting to report upon the subject
of selling land from the easterly portion of
the burying ground, have examined the
matters committeed to them and submit
the following
Report.
in the judgement of the committee it would not ma-
terially injure the ground for burial purposes to sell so much
of the easterly part of said land as will include
the old road crossing it, - a right of way to and over
said road being reserved. But this land has cost
the town a considerable sum of money; and we
therefore recommend that before any deed shall pass
the Assessors be directed to view the ground and ap-
praise the value of the estate to be sold. This ar-
rangement, it is thought, will be satisfactory to the
person propsing to purchase.
We recommend the passage of the
votes appended hereto.
Respectfully submitted,

Committee
Voted - That the Town Treasurer be authorized,
in the name and behalf of the town, to execute
and deliver, upon receipt of the consideration
money, the town's deed to James S. Monroe
of so much of the easterly portion of the new
burial ground as shall include the old road
and a small part of the land lying westerly
of it;- no part of the westerly boundary to the
westerly of the old line of the fence, and said boun-
dary to be curved and in the centre thereof to
be the at least fifty feet easterly from said old
line of the fence. Said deed shall reserve to the
Over
grantor a right of way to and over said
old road, and require the grantee to maintain the
division fence.
Voted - That the Assessors be directed to view
the ground and appraise the value of the
estate named in the deed aforesaid;
and their appraisement [appraisal] shall be the consider-
ation of said deed.
Voted - That the balance of the sum received for said sale, af-
ter payment to the necessary expenses of the
conveyance, be appropriated to the improve-
ment of said burying grounds.
