Geo. B. Dorr Re: Road Committee
June 25th. 1924
Mr. Charles O. Heydt
26 Broadway
New York City
Dear Mr. Heydt:-
I beg to acknowledge receipt of yours
of the 24th. with reference to the committee arrangement
regarding the Automobile Road, which I have treated as
confidential.
After giving the matter some considera-
tion, I interviewed Mr. Dow, without divulging the con-
tents of your letter. I explained to him that Mr. Dorr's
assent to the proposed change should be made in writing,
because of the distinct understanding that we all have,
that all oral statements should be confirmed in writing.
And further that it should not be in the form of an assent,
but as a suggestion as coming from Mr. Dorr.
I had your draft rewritten and submitted
it to Mr. Dow, as a suggestion fom me, but stating to him that
you had written me suggesting some confirmation. Mr. Dow
agreed with me that the best thing to do would be to discuss
the matter with Mr. Dorr before replying to you. This ₫ did
and submitted my draft of the suggested letter. Mr. Dorr at
once fell in with the arrangement, but making some slight

changes in the letter, adding a new paragraph and stating
that he understood the plan did not take the control of
the road building out of his hands.
I am enclosing the letter duly signed, which
I hope will meet with your approval.
Very truly yours,
18 Commonwealth Avenue, Boston
February 25th, 1910.
L. B. Deasy, Esq.,
Bar Harbor, Maine.
My dear Mr Deasy,
I am coming down on Sunday night and will come to see you
Monday morning, when I will sign before you as notary the Green
Mountain Carriage Road corporation return, the similar return of
the Mt Desert Nurseries, and the Transit Company return. And I
will then make payment for and take title to the two tracts of land
I am acquiring from the Rodick Reality Company for the Reservations.
I shall be glad if you can also tell me then what the powers of
the Trustees of Public Reservations are with regard to selling land
which they acquire, the matter of which I talked with you when last
at Bar Harbor. The question of in whose name I shall take title
to Mr Roberts' land depends on this.
Yours truly,
G.B. Dass

Dear Mr. Dorr:
We enclose herewith articles of association and also a
memorandum showing things to be done to complete the organization.
As above stated the law contemplates that at the meeting for
organization a majority of the signers shall be present in person.
The meeting of organization of course has to be held within the
state.
Where it is inconvenient for a, majority of the parties
interested in the corporation to be present it is quite common to
join others residing in the state for the purposes of organization
altho such persons so joined may later take only a nominal amount of
stock of even no stock.
Yours very truly,
At the meeting for organization a majority of the signers should
be present in person and the following action should be taken:
1. Vote to organize and that the purposes of the corporation
shall be as set forth in the articles of association.

3.
Fix the amount of the capital stock and divide it into
shares. A 150,000.
