Kennedy, Mr. George Vanderbilt and Mr. William Jay Schieffelin, neighbors of mine on the Bar Harbor shore, to accompany mc to the meeting, Mr. Kennedy taking us over to Seal Harbor in his steam yacht, lying conveniently off his estate, Kenarden, which bordered upon Cromwell's Harbor. The Rt. Rev'd William Lawrence, Bishop of Massa- chusetts, to whom President Eliot had also written, drove over and met us at Seal Harbor. President Eliot was already there when we arrived, with the Rt. Rev'd William C. Doane, Bishop of Albany, and Mr. S. D. Sargent of Northeast Harbor, donor and builder of the Sargent Drive along the Somes Sound shore. There were also present the Rev'd William Adams Brown and Professor Edward S. Dana, the geologist, both of Seal Harbor, and, representing the then exten- sive David Dows-Cooksey interests there, Mr. Richard M. Hoe and Mr. George L. Stebbins. 2 The meeting was called to order by President Eliot, who presided. He stated the purpose of the meeting, a vote to organize was moved and carried, and an executive committee was appointed to take steps for the permanent organization of the Association and its incorporation by the State; the meeting adjourned, to re-assemble at Bar Harbor, where all future meetings were held, on September 14th, 1901. Our counsel was Luere B. Deasy of Bar Harbor, later a Justice, and finally Chief Justice, of the Supreme Judicial Court of Maine. At the next reg- - ular session of the State Legislature, convening January first, 1903, he obtained a charter for our association, incorporated as "The Hancock County Trustees of Public Reservations", which made us, as a public service body, free of tax. The purpose of the Corporation was "to acquire, by devise, gift or purchase, and to own, arrange, hold, maintain and improve for free public use, lands in Hancock County, Maine, which, by reason of scenic beauty, historical interest, sanitary advantages, or for other reasons, may be available for the purpose." For the following five and a half years no gifts of importance were made, nor effort to secure them; the corporation slept, with occasional stirrings. But in 1908, when I was recovering at Bar Harbor from a surgical operation, President Eliot came in to see mo, for a friendly call, on his way home from the Trustees annual meeting and to bring me the news that we had re- ceived our first considerable gift, the Bowl and Beehive tract on Newport Mountain. The Bowl is a little mountain lake, four hundred feet above the neighboring sea; the Beehive, a bold headland beyond it to the south, overlooking the Sand Beach and Great Head. The gift came from Mrs. Charles D. Homans of Boston, an old friend of my family, who had acquired the property twenty odd years before in the purchase of a superb site upon the shore on which to build. It was a gift singularly appropriate to the purpose of our undertaking and in the encouragement it gave I said to President Eliot that when I got on my feet again I would try and see what I could do to get the summit of Green Mountain, Cadillac Mountain now, from the landscape point of view the most essential tract on all the coast to protect from disfigurement and keep open for the people.

Moses, Chapel Hill, N.C., historian of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Explanatory note accompanying call for special meeting of the Hancock County Trustees of Public Reservations to be held on the 22nd day of June 1931. ARTICLE 1. The two lots which would be conveyed to Mr. Dorr if the exchange offered by him is favor- ably acted on by the Trustees are narrow strips of land bordering Great Meadow Brook between its crossing of the Ledgelawn Avenue Extension road and its outlet from the Meadow, and separated by one of the playing courses of the second nine-hole golf links. These lots are remainder portions of an origin- ally continuous strip deeded by Mr. Dorr to the Trustees before the establishment of the Golf Club's second nine-hole course, with reference to a driving road and foot-path the plan for which was given up in favor of the links. The intended development which led to the conveyance having been abandoned, blocked by the links, this land has ceased to be potentially useful or appropriate to the Trustees' purposes. The land offered by Mr. Dorr in exchange, fronting on Ledgelawn Avenue Extension road, extends along the eastern side of the road between Cromwell Harbor Brook and Kebo Brook bridge-crossings and forms a necessary link in the opportunity for a continuous foot-path connecting the Village at the Athletic Field with the Great Meadow and Sieur de Monts'Spring, together with the trails that start from them, in accordance with the plans proposed by Mr. Charles Eliot in his study for the future development of Mount Desert Island prepared for the Bar Harbor Village Improvement Association, and by Mr. Olm- sted in his work for Mr. Rockefeller. It is in the interest of this development that this exchange is pro- posed. ARTICLE 2. At a meeting of the Reservations held August 20, 1929, it was voted to convey to the United States all lands owned by the Corporation on Mount Desert Island except a strip of land one hundred fifty feet wide bordering the lakes and their tributaries furnishing water to the various towns and except also a lot containing approximately five acres on Barr Hill and a lot occupied by the Champlain Monu- ment on the Cooksey Drive. The reason for seeking a conveyance of this lake-shore property now is that portions of the system of constructed roads extending around these lakes lie over this land. The Reservations have no funds to maintain such portions and the Government, assuming the obligation now borne by the Trustees in con- nection with the protection of the water supply, will be able to keep the roads in proper condition. ARTICLE 3. The land referred to in this article was acquired after the vote had been passed authorizing the conveyance to the Government of all but certain specified lots. It therefore becomes necessary to obtain special authority from the Corporation to convey this lot. 9/19/2020 HCTPR note: To see the organs of JDRFr's envolvement ad support for HCTPR property acquesition, consult Epp Archue Chronology filed for the following dates: - 2/8/1915 2/25/1915 Eleat to JDRF - 3/1/1915.

Mr. John D.RockefeE ler, Jr., , 26 Broadway, New York City. Dear Mr. Rockefelle : I am returning the letter Miss Adams sent me from the Hancock County Trustees of Pub ic Reservations At the annual meeting of the Reservations Charles Eliot, son of Samuel Eliet, made a motion that the Execu- tive Committee be instructed to prepare and print a report concerning the activities of the Reservations for the pas thirty years. Injamy not osure that Mr. Eliot made the motion but the matter was suggested by him. About a week after the meeting Samuel and Charles Eliot came to Judge Deasy and Mr. Serenus Rodick with a letter similar to the one which was sent out over Judge Deasy's and Mr. Rodick's signatures, although the issuance of the letter was not authorized by vote of the Corpora- tion or the Executive Committee, W. II. Charles Eliot suggested to Mr. Rodick that he A thought his grandfather had started the Reservation as a memorial to his uncle, Charles Eliot, son of President Eliot. DEAS LYNAM, RODICK & RODICK J.D.R.J1 . 2/28/31 Samuel Eliot is writing the early history, obtain- ing the data from the record book. It is suggested that before the book is printed it be submitted to Charles Eliot who has in mind preparing a map with a key system to be inserted in the Booklet showing the lodation of the land the Reservation has owned, by whom it was donated and when transferred to the Government or others. The Eliots think that one thousand dollars will be necessary to do the work in good shape. I do not know 00 whether he expects to get any information from this >office.

Dear Mr Rockefeller: Last summer Mr. Ernest T. Paine, President of the Hancock County Trustees of Public Reservations, appointed Benjamin L. Hadley, Charles K. Savage and me as a Special Committee of that organization The function of this Committee is to review a so- - called "challenge" or report, dated August, 1950, submitted by Mr Charles W. Eliot 2nd to the Trustees. The Committee is to report to the Trustees next summer with recommendations as to the future activities of the Trustees, if any. Some members of the Reservations organization feel it has little function beyond its preservation of the Black House in Ellsworth. Others favor increased activity. I mention this renewed interest of the Trustees in Mount Desert Island with the possibility in mind that you may have comment or suggestion regarding their activity. Very truly yours, Edwin R. Smith ERS:RLS LAW OFFICES SMITH AND FENTON BAR HARBOR BANKING & TRUST BUILDING BAR HARBOR, MAINE DWIN R.SMITH SUCCESSORS TO WILLIAM FENTON DEASY, LYNAM, RODICK & RODICK March 15, 1951. Professor E. T. Paine, 1090 Avon Road, Schenectady 8, New York. Dear Professor Paine: Since my last communication with you in January, Mr. Rockefeller has replied to my inquiry concerning his views on the Hancock County Trustees of Public Reservations. Also since the first of the year Mr. Hadley has made a point by point study of the Eliot Challenge and prepared a paper entitled "Comments on the paper 'A Challenge to the Hancock County Trustees of Public Reservations' presented to that body by Mr. Charles W. Eliot, 2nd, August 1950" With the above material in hand the members of the Special Committee, Edwin R. Smith, Benjamin L. Hadley and Charles K. Savage, met yesterday to consider recommendations to the Trustees next summer. Messrs. Albert H. Cunningham and Gerard Austin, members of the Trustees Executive Committee, upon our invitation, joined in the meeting. Your letter of November 17, 1950 was used as an outline of the recommendations sought from our Committee. No final vote was taken but a thorough discussion was had on all the points mentioned in your November letter, and also with SMITH AND FENTON Professor E.T.P.: 3/15/51 -2 2 regard to the Hadley comments. As a result of our discussion the Committee is inclined now to recommend the Trustees that they, (the Trustees). take early steps to convey to the United States of America for inclusion in Acadia National Park, all the remaining holdings on Mount Desert Island. The Committee is further inclined to recommend that the Trustees confine future land acquisitions to parcels abutting or within the present Park boundaries when such acquisition has no substantial commercial or residential value. An exception to the above policy was considered as possibly advisable, although we couldn' seem to arrive at any wording of such an exception, in the case of a donation of land accompanied by sufficient funds to guarantee adequate administration and policing of land donated. Referring to your letter of November 17th last and your comment that some persons feel the Trustees will have no further reason for existence, Mr. Rockefeller's letter of January 10, 1951, indicates he is of that opinion. I enclose a copy of his letter for your personal file. It should be pointed out that in all probability Mr. Rockefeller did not know when he wrote the letter that the Trustees still have many hundreds of acres of land still in their possession. However, if he did know it he would obviously say these lands should be turned over to the Park. Mr. Rockefeller has not seen a copy of the Eliot Challenge since I felt it advisable SMITH AND FENTON Professor E.T.P. ; 3/15/51 -3 3 to determine his interest first and if he showed a wish to see the Challenge he would ask for it. He has not expressed any desire to know more about it. The Committee would like to have more comments from you in the light of your statement in the November 17th letter that you are "prone to believe that the Trustees still have or ought to have a wider field of effort". We thought it would be helpful if you. could meet with us at a meeting, possibly in June, or as soon as you arrive for the season. At that time we might be able to formulate our final recommendations. Mr. Cunningham told us you had not been well this winter. I certainly hope you are getting well now and look forward to seeing you before long. Sincerely yours, Enclosures: 1.

Paine 1090 Avon Road Schenectady 8, New York Dear Mr. Paine: Haste him of hug.it Ammuni Your letter of March 4 reached me in the concluding days of a four weeks' stay in the hospital. I am now at home and confined to the bedroom floor of the house for several weeks time after which I shall extend my activity to getting down stairs telling arking once a day for a while before I shall be permitted to be at large again. I do not expect to be back at work in my office until about the first of June. Meeting Since Thanksgiving I have put in about four weeks' work, should two weeks from Christmas on and two weeks at the end of January and Any (1) the first of February. The three weeks preceding Christmas my wife what and I were in Pennsylvania and Virginia visiting our two boys and asto their families. So, you see, my regular duties have been, and will expected be for some weeks forward, taken care of by my office staff. My be parch doctor doesn't want me to retard convalescence by burdening my mind with office and other work. The illness which sent me off to the title the progress hospital on February 13 was a coronary thrombosis, the second in a year and a half. I will write the Director of the National Park Service about a stamp commemorating Champlain's discovery of Mount Desert or Island and bespeak his assistance in the project. through It is not difficult to transplant water lilies. The protected difficulty, not too great however, lies in getting the stock for transplanting. The equipment is a small boat and a pronged hoe, Nat'l commonly called hereabouts a potato hoe. The source of the stock is a shallow pond where water lilies are growing in reasonable abundance. Then, when the lilies are in bloom put off in the boat with the potato hoe, and, where the water is shallow enough to permit, reach down to the bottom with the hoe and dig up the roots. An essential point is to avoid breaking off the flowers before digging up the roots. Have the flowers come with the roots so as to be sure that lily roots are actually secured. To transplant, weight the roots with a small stone and throw them into the pond to be stocked. That was the way we introduced them into the tarn. 2. What with vacation time, a bad cold and heart attack my plan for getting ahead with the searching of title to the Trustees' lands west of Somes Sound came to naught. When I return to work once more I hope to set the title search into motion. It is a hard thing to do at arm's length. I think that some recognition should be given to Charles Eliot's Challenge. A brief of what I wrote if prepared for distributi on to the members would probably suffice. Mr. Eliot should be given a full copy, but I want to revise it a bit before he gets it, and also to substitute the revision for the original for the Trustees' records. Since writing it I have discovered that some of my statements were not altogether correct. I have a copy of the original which I can use for a working copy for the revision. Sincerely, B. L. Hadley Superintendent COPY ROCKEFELLER CENTER New York 20, N.Y 5 January 10, 1951 Dear Mr. Smith: My reply to your letter of December 13th about the work of the Hancock County Trustees of Public Reservations is long overdue. I have long felt that when the corporation turned over its lands to Acadia National Park it should have gone out of existence, the purpose for which it was brought into being having been ac- complished. It was not organized for the purpose of permanently handling a single house like the Black House in Ellsworth, however historical the Black House might be. The tendency is, when a corporation has once been organized, and has fulfilled the purpose for which it was brought into being, to find other work which it can do to justify its continued existence. Personally I am not sympathetic with that tendency but believe that organizations should be as quick to go out of existence when their specific work has been accomplished as those who create them are ready to bring them into existence when there is some useful function for them to perform. The Trustees came into existence merely to hold public lands on the Island bought to protect the public interest. Acadia Park now completely and permanently fulfills that function. Personally I think the Trustees should disband, or, under a less pretentious title, become simple a local committee for the ownership and operation of the Black House, a function wholly alien and unrelated to the purpose of the organization's creation. If I can be of any further help to you in your thinking on this matter, please call upon me. Very sincerely, John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Mr. Edwin R Smith, Bar Harbor Banking and Trust Building, Bar Harbor, Maine. Hencerk Black DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR RUN NATIONAL PARK SERVICE Historic American Buildings Survey Nar27/42 141 Milk Street, Room 604, Boston New England Office To Owners, Trustees, and Associations preserving Historic Structures in New England: Of the first 200 buildings measured by the Historic American Buildings Survey in Massachusetts; within six years thereafter, 27 had been demolished, 10 ruined by bad alterations, 6 had fallen from neglect, 4 had burned, and 2 were removed outside the State. The total loss was 49 from 200,- or almost 25%- and today we have the added dangers of War damages,-- to which the 113 year old fence in front of the Bulfinch State House on Beacon Hill has already become a casualty! This rate of disappearance is so alarmingly high, as to make the immediate recording of all Historic Monuments more necessary than ever before. Have you the complete measurements and details of your local buildings safely filed, so that they could be exactly reproduced, in case of loss or damage through accident, fire or War conditions? If not, you should seriously consider having these records made, before it is too late, and make sure of their future preservation by having them added to the collection of Historic Records now being preserved by the Library of Congress. This protection can be secured, and official records made of your building, only through the Historic American Buildings Survey, and at the exact cost of the work required to measure and complete the necessary standard Government drawings, provided further that the building is older than 100 years, and that its original character and fabric have been sufficiently well preserved. The cost of making complete records, from which such structures could be fully reproduced, including all essential full-size details, varies in every case. Most of those structures already recorded have required from eight to twenty-five drawings, at the cost of approximately $20.00 to $25.00 each. For further information, or estimates, apply to the District Officer, HABS, 141 Milk Street, Room 604, Boston,- giving the name and location of the building, its date, and enclosing descriptions and pictures wherever possible. A 470 page illustrated Catalog, bound in buckram, covering the buildings in this collection from all over the United States, now recorded in the Library of Congress, may be secured by sending $1.25 to the Superintendent of Documents, Washington, D. C. It is also desired to have as complete a file as possible of N.E. Historic buildings. Please list those in your locality, with date, location and hours, days and months open to public (with fees charged,- if any). Also enclose a small photo or cut, and a descriptive circular, if available. N.B. About 500 Historic buildings have been surveyed. in New England alone during the last few years, and a mimeographed copy of the list of Massachusetts structures prepared in 1941 may be obtained without cost by addressing the District Officer, as long as tho available supply lasts, by those making the first applications. December, 1942. 2682B THE IMPORTANCE OF THE HISTORIC AMERICAN BUILDINGS SURVEY IN OUR SCHEME OF CONSERVATION OF NATIONAL RESOURCES The Historic American Buildings Survey is an important step forward in the conservation of our national historic resources. The type of shelter devised by mankind in every age and climate is an expression of the life of the people. In the United States, the adobe hut, the cliff dwelling of the agricultural Indian, the tepee of the nomad, the log cabin of the pioneer, the cottage, the farm- house in the country, the city dwelling, each expresses eloquently the culture and mode of life of the original tenant or owner. The churches and missions of the Franciscans and Jesuits of the South and West, the churches of the Russians in Alaska, the meeting houses of the Puritans in the East and Middle West, the colleges, hospitals, mills, warehouses, shops, and other buildings of use in the community all belong to a chapter of the Nation's history. Un- fortunately, a large part of our early American architecture has disappeared. It is inevitable that the majority of structures will at some time outlive their ultimate usefulness. And it admittedly is impracticable to preserve all buildings or sites associated with events of incontestable historic importance. It is possible, however, to record in a graphic manner and by photography, before it is too late, the exact appearance of these buildings and their surroundings. This is the purpose of the His- toric American Buildings Survey. The buildings considered have been selected for measuring and photographing in the approximate order of their historic and archi- tectural importance in their districts. The record is made as a form of insurance against loss of data through future destruction, and also as a contribution to the study of historic architecture. Honold Y.

However, the substance of it is that Mr. Roc kifeller's attitude toward the Trustees was always condicio but that on the other hand Mr. R widently did not case to reveni his plan, Except GED perhaps to Mr. Don & Mr. Cam meres, m.
