PRESENTATION OF THE BUILDING AND GROUNDS TO THE TOWN OF WESTMINSTER

Mr. Frank W. Derby Chairman of the Board of Selectmen of Westminster. It is a very pleasant duty that I have to perform this day to present to the town of Westminster through your honorable board a deed of ¾ of an acre of land situated at the corner of Main and Baker Street now occupied by a finished library building to be used as a location for a library and art building and for a park for all time.

This deed with an insurance policy paid for 3 years and a fund of $500 which is put at interest as an endowment and for the care of the grounds also a fund of $1,250 the income of which is to be used to take care of the upper room of the library building.

The gas tank has 3 barrels of oil in it. The gas machine was very kindly presented by Mr. George Heywood of Gardner and is one of the best Springfield machines and has been tested to run 66 lights and a fire log at one time and did the work very fine, pleasing everybody who saw the display.

These things I now present to your honorable board.

Trusting that you and your successors will ever watch with vigilant care the interests of our Public Library and Art Gallery.

Respectfully,

Daniel C. Miles

Chairman of the Building Commissioners
