Mr. Dorr stated that he had received a small rent from one
of the camps and that he had expended a portion of it for
clearing up and repairing. That he would write direct with
reference to it.

Dear Mr. Hoydt:
I am enclosing herewith bill for
amounts paid out for recording deeds in connection
with the lands purchased for Mr. Rockefeller's ac-
count which I have carried on my books in the name
of Mr. Dorr as agent.
If, in your opinion, these items should
be paid by me as a part of my e expenses, kindly let me
know and destroy the bill.
A few charges for telephone and tele-
grems were made which I believe should not have been
done. I am therefore crediting the account with the
amount of those items.
Very truly yours,

Mesers. Hill and Simpson.
Proposed readjustments of elignment near Sta.20 to reduce
quantities in embankment were considered. It was found that these
quantities could be reduced to 3050 extent by replacing the present
tangent by two essy curves - throwing the line slightly up hill at
one point and down hill st another 3 continuing the curve ording at
Sta. 1. + 44 to Sta. + 63 and carrying the second curve in the re-
Verse direction from Sta.22 + 95 to Sta.25 + 90. It appeared to be
advisable to make these edjustments, and the line will be studied
further when the gradea have been established and marked.
Locations here selected for several small culverts. During
the season of Spring razna the whole line will be studied in relation
to location and sise of sulverts.
A further study was made of conditions at the brook crossings
near Sta. 39. Bridges were originally considered for these points - but
it is now believed that Good sized stone culverts can Lake care of the
water and make possible a considerable arving in cost. Observations
of run-off will be made during the flood season and the question will
be studied futher.
Conditions at Sta. 33 were examined in relation to grade. Sur-
face condi tions at this point indicate material of a gravelly nature.
It was decided to nut in some test pits to determine depth and nature
of material and possibility of use for surfacing. Rhen the grade is
established at this point it will probably be well to hold it down
pretty well in order to reduce the grade and at the same time secure
good material for building.

Mr John D Rockefeller, Jr
26 Broadway, New York, N Y
Dear Mr. Rockefeller:
When I wrote to you in December in regard to the road from
Bar Harbor to the Bubble Pond, and then along the westerly side of
Pemetic, I said that I understood "that these plans are definitely
agreed upon," so that there seemed to be at that time no possibility
of canging them. Since then I have found upon conferring with the
Chairman of the other Path Committees that there is a strong feeling
against that road being expressed, and there is still a possibility
that the plans might be changed. Feeling as I do the importance of
keeping for the Jordan Pond region a sense of remoteness and soli-
tude and isolation, I am very much hoping that such a change of plan
may be brought about. In endeavoring to bring about such a change,
I wish again to assure you that I appreciate very completely the
skill with which you have been building your roads, and the fact that
they have xxxx opened up to the driving public many points which they
otherwise would not see. My opposition is to the bringing of the
increasing streams of automobile tourists by means of the automobile
into the Jordan Pond Valley. I hope very much that all concerned may
agree that an automobile road through the Bubble Pond Valley to
Jordan Pond House will serve all the reasonable desires of automo-
bilists for a picturesque altermative route from Bar Harbor to Jordan
Pond.
In my letter of December, I expressed the hope that the Superintend-
ent of the Park would always confer with the Joint Path Committee in re-
gard to plans for future roads. Mr. Dorr has been very greatly inter-
ested in the work of the Path Committee, and has always accepted our
invitation to come to our annual meeting and confer about the relation
of the roads to the paths. Nevertheless, in looking over past corres-
pondence with him, I find that in April 1922 he told us through Mr.
Weeks that we "need have no uneasiness" about roads on the sides of the
mountains. In September of 1922, he showed us maps of the roads which
did not include this road on the side of Pemetic; and when Mr, Damrosch,
Mr. Dana and I interviewed him in September, 1923, he stated that this
road had been approved over a year ago by all the authorities concerned.
Naturally we have been very much surprised to find that plans progressed
so rapidly without our knowing anything about them.
Does it not seem to you reasonable that the Village Improvement
Societies should be told in a semi-official way when plans are being
made concerning roads and paths in the Park. The relation of those
Societies to the Park is unique, and has been most helpful. I believe
that nothing but good could come of a public recognition of that fact
through a conference committee.
Yours very sincere,
Joseph Allen

Dear Professor Allen:
Your letter of March 17th is received. Perhaps the
best, and, in fact, the only thing I can do in the matter is
to send the letter to Mr. Dorr, which I am doing,
The fact which comes to me, that Senator Pepper is
strongly opposing a motor road through the Bubble Pond valley
and cordially endorsing it through the Jordan Pond valley -
his position being just the opposite from your own - only goes
to show how impossible it is for Mr. Dorr to please everyone
in his administration and development of Lafayette National
Park.
Since I know that there were considerable tracts of
land which 200 Dorr thought it important to secure, in the
interest of the Park, to make possible some of the road schemes
which the Government has approved, I fancy that is the reason
why up to this time he has felt that he was acting in the
public interest in not being more explicit in discussing Govern-
ment plans. If I am correctly informed, however, much if not
all of the property involved has been secured, so that reason
for reticence on Mr. Dorr's part will doubtless no longer stand
in the way of a fuller presentation of Government plans.
Very sincerely,
Professor Joseph Allen,
9 Myrtle Street,
White Plains, N.Y.
Harold Peabody took lunch with Senator Pepper
and Senator Hale prior to the hearing at which time Mr.
Peabody asked Senater Pepper to outline what he was to
say at the hearing. This he did. His remarks, how-
ever, were entirely different from what he intended to
say, due, we believe, to the strength of our case and
the character of the witnesses.
Senator Hale after the luncheon consulted with us
and no doubt reported to Senator
Pepper who some of our witnesses were.
Hill emp.
Grindle hot lacu
Hill reports that there remain 2,800 lineal feet of rock
to be blasted in Section II. Rock cuts and fills will bal-
ance over this, the blasting lying only over the upper half
of the road.
This does not include, as the previous estimate
rendered last autumn did not include, the portion where
the brooks cross the road and bridges were planned.
On the nor th end of Section II, 2,200 feet is sub-
graded. On the south end of Section II, 1,150 feet is
sub-graded, with 750 feet blasted but not sub-graded.
On the north end of Section II, 1,850 feet remains
to be stumped and stripped of earth, without counting
portion by brooks.
Four thousand six hundred and fifty feet, not includ-
ing portion by brooks, need to be covered with clay after
being sub-graded.
The whole section when sub-graded and lightly covered
with clay will need a gravel surfaceing.
Ditches on the upper side will need to be trued and
shaped as the road is built.
Coping stones for safety along steep banks on lower
side need to be placed, the stone for this being partially
obtained.
Portion by brooks omitted in last autumn's estimate

on account of proposed bridge construction is 380 feet in
length. Four brooks Gross it. Bridges over two of these
were originally planned. By omitting bridges and sub-
stituting granite oulverts, practically the whole cost of
bridge building will be saved.
In crossing two of these streams a heavy rook fill
will be required to bring road to grade.

Bar Harbor, Haine.
Dear Mr. Dorr:-
I have just returned from a trip with Mr. Hill over
parte of Sections 1 and 2 of the Eagle Lake - Bubble Pond motor road, during
which we studied adjustments of lines and grades for improvenents at certain
points. I was sorry not to meet you there - as I understood you were some-
whore on the line. I called at Old Farm on my way back, but as I got no
response when I rang the bell I assumed you must be. on some other part of
your estate. Later I tried to got you on the phone - but without success.
At the outlet of Bubble Pond I noted that preparations were being made
to be, in work on the structure for controlling the flow at a point somewhat
above the place we had prbviouslyruecided upon. From an engineering stand-
point the location creviously selected would be more desirable, for reasons
which I thought I would call to your attention - although you may have already
considered than.
1. A structure at the lower point would consist only of abutments and
stop-plank grooves and would be less conspicuous from every point-and at the
same time be less expensive to build.
2. with the same. sized opening as used above it would give a much greater
discharge during times of flood whenn fully opened, as it would have the adv
advantage of about one foot greater head and would discharge freely instead
of being submorged. It seems to me it would also make the forebay more at-
tractive as been from the road - 8.8 no structure would be in sight, and a
greater area of water surface would be seen below the road. As seen from
below it would also have certain advantages. Narrow stop-planks could be used
on top and the discharge could be regulated to secure a waterfall effect
when desired. Conditions would be different if there were a good supply of
water running the year round - but in dry seasons the bed of the brook between
the dam and the crost of the waterfall would be dry and exposed to sight -
a condition that would be avoided if the stop-planks were placed near the cros
crest of/ the waterfall.
We were much pleased with the general ogress of the work - and
noted especially the excellence of the stone masonry being built.
Yours very truly,
Seal Harbor, Maino, September 30, 1323.
Mr. George B. Dorr, Superintendent,
lafayette National Park,
Bar Harbor, Maine.
Dear lie. Dorr:-
In accordance with conclusions reachod at our recent
conference concerning the use of hanner drills and air in preference
to tripod drills and bteam for the Green Mountain-Bub Pond road
work no have considered carofully the question of equipment for a
plant suitable to the conditions to be not, and have made arrange-
nonts for the installation of such a plant at the earliest possible
monent. In view of the satisfaction Given by the plants in use on
other parts of the road system and for the sake of /uniformity in
equipment it seomed desirable to use machinery of similar type
-
but, on account of the larger section of the motor road, of somewhat
greater capacity. To meet those requirements we have selected a 9x8
portable gasoline drivon cir compressor of 250 cubic feet capacity,
with Macaschusetts tank, which will run 3 hammor Grills and furnish
air for the necessary sharpening.
On account of the difficulty found by pony of the local black-
om1ths in learning to properly fashion the hollow drill stools we
have also considered the question of machine charponing in preference
to doing this work by hand. After personally inspecting a machine of
type suitable to the work here, in operation, it seemed advisable to
includo one in the equipment ordered. The use of such a machine will
assure an ample supply of bits, perfectly formed, and will make the
work less dependent upon the services of a skillod sharponer - at the
same time saving the services of at losst one black.nith.In order to
avoid loss of time due to possible delay in the arrival of the sharpen-
ins machine we have ordered ono plug drill, with the necessary hand
charpening equipment. She plue drill will be needed later for plus
drilling, and the sharpening dollies can be disposed of later if not
needed. All of this equipment, with the exception of the sharpening
machine, should be received during the week ending October 6th. The
arrival of the machine may be somewhat delayed, ao it has to be shipped
from the factory in Pennsylvania. When it doos arrive it could be woll
to have The Livingstone Manufacturing Company, of Rockland, the agents,
send a man to help in its installation and to instruct the black-
with in its uoo. Following is a complete list, with prices, of the
equipment ordered.

During a trip of inspection and conference covering Sections I
and II of the Bubble Pondi* Green Mountain road with Mr. Hill, Engineer
the following matters were considered.
Section I.
1. It was decided to widen the road for coping on the curve near
Sta. 4 by flattening the curve on the inside, thereby improving
alignment and reducing amount of fill required for widening.
2. For determining the amounts necessary for taking out depressions
in sub-grade and improving lines of finished grades it was decided
to take levels and make profiles of sub-grade at the points under
consideration, and to omit gravel surface until plans are perfected.
3. It was decided that small cut-off ditches for deflecting
surface water at various points would be advisable, but that no
work should be done on these until further study.
4. That the underdrain near the upper end of the section should
be extended up hill as originally planned.
Section II.
1. Work on completing sub-grade was found to be progressing
favorably.
2. In conference with Mr. Brower it was decided to rearringe the
stones in the lower wing wall of the large stone culvort near the
upper end of the section which were laid on insecure footing. It was
decided to cavo this well a warped surface - starting from a noorly
vertical position at the and of the culvert and flattening out to
meet the elope of the embankmont. The otone assoney 1n the culvert was
found to be in excellent shape, made of excoptionally Good otone,
quarried nearby. This oulvert 20 about 753 completed.
3. On account of the excellence of the otono found in the vicinity
and the 080Q with which it is quarried it was decided to build otone
instead of corrugated iron culverts at Stations 65475 and 68+75 -
where considerable flood water has to be carried away.
40 Good progress was noted on the work at the Bubble Pond outlet.
The stone assonry culverts wore found to be in excellent chape, and
about 50% completed. On account of the gravelly nature of the material
used in filling at this point 26 was decided to carry the fill across
the foot of the pond to finished instoad of sub-grade, and to top off
with surfacing gravel later. Conditions at the outlot wore, studied
and methods for noting the stop plant grooves more discussed, but final
plans woro loft to be considered in n further conference.

Chief Sngineer.

Eagle Lake - Bubble Pond Road.
Messrs Dorr, Hill, and Simpson.
The adjusted location at the crossing of the three brooks on Section 2,
making improvements in alignment and grade, were studied and approved. This
location makes the crossing just below the Pine tree, instead of above it
-
which is also necessary to secure proper headroom for the bridge at this point
From a study of the three brooks st appears that one of then can be divorted
and the principal flow confined to two channels.Mr Hill 10 making this
adjusted location, with tonography of bridge sites.
It was decided to blast the rock already drilled beyond the section
which is to be finished to sub-grade this season at the Dubble Pond end of
Section 2, and to leave the Grading and shaping up until a convenient time
in the future.
The work of completing the grading and structures on the Bubble Pond
end of Section to is progressing favorably.As eoon as this work is completed
the forces employed will be moved to the other end of the section.
The finishing and grade Improvement work on the first section is
making good progress.It was decided to confine the grade improvement
work for the present to the upper of the two points under consideration for
improvement.
Bar Harbor branch, Jordan-Sergent Road.
The country west of Eagle Lake was examined and studied with reference
to the location of a carriage road to connect with the Jordan - Sargont
Mountain road.It was decided to make surveys of portions of the old
Southwest Valley road to aid in the study of possible Locatibne.Conditions
at the foot of Eagle Lake were also studied with reference to connecting
this road with a road on the east side by a road near the shore of the
lake.

MEMORANDUM.
Eagle Lake - Bubble Pond Road,
Measrs.Hill and Simpson.
Various grade adjustments were studied and approved;and drainage
conditions were examined at various points.
The gravel used for surfacing was found to contain too much fine
material,and an effort was made to locate a deposit of better quality.
An examination was made of all the gravel pits within hauling distance
and the country was examined for possible not locations. Gravel of
excellent quality was found in a pit between Hulls Cove and Salisburys
Cove - which may be considered for & top course in case gravel of
satisfactory quality is not found in a more convenient location. 'A
pit near Morrell Park was opened, but the gravel which was of fair quality
on the surface was found to become unsetisfactory as the depth increased.
It was decided for the present to clear up the old pit and by using
greater care in screening to got what gravel will be needed for the
remainder of the season from it - the idea being to put on only what
is needed at the present time on the first section of the road.
Gravel for the second section of the road will probably have to
be obtained from the Bubble Pond region - where gravel of apparently
good quality is found in quantity. The advisability of opening a pit
at the head of the pond and hauling across the ice during the coming
winter will be considered at a future conference.
In the work of clearing and cutting it was decided to keep the
operations within the lines of construction for the present.

Brewer family apparently all do not want to consider placing
any permanent legal easement on the ice Company land or disposing
of their contingent ownership. They want to retain full and
unrestricted ownership.
Mr. F. L. Brewer thinks nothing can be accomplished at
present time along that line.
It is not a question of price, they don't want to consider
it. But that only applies to deeding away rights in the property
and they all are most friendly to building or planting as we
like along the shore line in front of the ice houses, for road
or path purposes or for screening the ice houses and will allow
us to do what we like therealong such lines.
That Mr. Frank Brewer says he feels certain this can be
relied upon and that we can rely upon the continuing friendly
attitude of the family toward this and that all they need and
ask is that a water lane for floating in the ice to the oot
of their elevator which is back of the shore line and that
all that we need is that should be bridged at such hei ght as is
necessary for their floating in their ice and at a width of about
eight feet, but that a permanent bridge can be if we choose
constructed over this without objection on their part, which I
would suggest be constructed of wood like the town bridges span-
ning a brook. And that abundant stone for building at requisite
heights along the shore line lies loose upon the shore, needing
only to be gathered together and placed by a derrick.

QUESTION THE PAYMENT FOR USE OF TRACTOR
AND PARK TRUCKS
Mr. Dorr tells me that upon consultation with
Mr. Rockefeller he expressed himself as wanting to
bear the total expense of the road. That Mr. Dorr
had made arrangement with the Department to have turned
over to the Department the tractor and trucks for use,
charges for which are made to the Nurseries.
That the Department is receiving adequate com-
pensation therefor.
Inquired of Mr. Dow regarding the same matter.
Mr. Dow says that the amount charged for the tractor
is the actual expense as near as can be figured. That
in order to get the tractor, transportation charges,
repairs, etc. could not be paid out of park funds.
The amount received for the park material is being
used to pay for repairs, transportation, etc. That no
profit is being made by anyone.

By direction of Mr. Dorr I am returning
herewith the abstract of title, and deed (redrafted in accord-
ance with your suggestion) which has been properly executed;
also the record of the meeting authorizing the conveyance.
As soon as the deed has been accepted, it

Dear Mr. Cammerer:
I beg to acknowledge receipt of yours of the 29th
enclosing opinion of the solicitor, abstract of title and
proposed deed of land to be conveyed for extension of Laf-
ayette National Park.
The error referred to by the solicitor was in the
sketch which I have had corrected and not in the deed.
A meeting of the Reservations has been called for
February 9, 1924 to authorize the execution of the deed. AB
soon as the meeting is held, a new deed will be drafted and
executed, after which it will be forwarded with the other
papers direct to you.

Dear Mr. Dorr:
We have just received the opinion of the
Solicitor in regard to the form of conveyance and
title to the land proposed to be conveyed by the
Hancock County Trustees of Public Reservations of
Maine for the extension of the Lafayette National
Park. A copy of the opinion under date of January
28, 1924, is inclosed.
As no defects are found by the Solicitor
in either the form of conveyance or the quality of
proponent's title, the deed is returned herewith
in order that it may be properly executed and re-
corded with a view to its acceptance by the Depart-
ment. As the deed has become somewhat mutilated
from handling in the Department it is suggested that
a new deed be prepared for execution. In this con-
nection your attention is called to an apparent
discrepancy in the description of the "First Lot"
as compared with the sketch contained in the abstract
of title, in that, the deed describes a line as "102
rods" whereas the sketch shows "120 rods". This,
of course, should be verified and the necessary
correction made in the preparation of a new deed.
The abstract of title is also inclosed.
Respectfully,

The Honorable
subrected

The Secretary of the Interior.
My dear Mr. Secretary:
I have before me for an expression of my opinion
therson the form of a conveyance which the Hancock County
Trustees of Public Reservations, a corporation, proposes
to execute to the United States for the purpose of convey-
ing lands donated by it to the Government for its use in
connection with the Lafayette National Park: and I also
have before me an abstract of the title to these lands for
an expression of my judgment as to the quality of the title.
Turning first to the abstruct of title I will say
that I am prevented from making a detailed statement of the
course of the titles to the several tracts involved byt the
fact that this opinion would be extended to an unjustifiable
length if I attempted a recital as to each of the very un-
usually large number of pertinent convayances which extend
back to 1792 and are shown in the present abstract of title
which covers 217 pages. I will therefore content myself
with a notation of some of the most noticeable possible
defects in conveyances; and inasmuch as the tracts are all
along mentioned and convoyed by extensive and intricate
metes and bounds descriptions I am, for the purposes of
Linda
It 11492
this opinion. assuming that the land conveyed by the
Government has been adequately described and embraced in
all of the conveyances under which the proponent now
claims, and will not here attempt to follow or verify the
particular descriptions given in each of the conveyances.
On these assumptions I have the honor to inform
you that a careful examination of this extensive abstract
disolones some of the larger defects as follows:
Shelz
First, prior to 1895 dower. or life ostates
were, under the laws of Maine in which these lands are
chould
located, hold by all widows in all lands of their hus-
bands except "wild lands".
Pertinent to this statute it should be noticed
that a number of married grantors were not joined in their
be
conveyances by their wives and ordinarily the question of
the outstanding dower interests or life estates mentioned
above would present an obstacle to the acceptance of the
proposed conveyance; but hindrance of that kind is removed
or
in this case by the fact that the dower lawa of Maine con-
taia the unusual provision that that interest dona not
attach to or affect lands owned by the husband at the date
of the marriage or acquired by him thereafter which are
such as are known as wild lands: and the lands here in-
volved are shown to have been lands of that character. Ford

that of Furthermore, the doeds in question were all ex-
acuted prior to 1895 and the dower rights may reasonably
be expected to have expired by the death of many,1. not
all, of the widowe before this time. while

zolauza Second, in 1895 the right of dower was abolished
in the State of Hoine and it was then provided that wid-
owe should take by inheritance in fee simple one-third of
their husbands' lands, if there be issue, and otherwise
one-half absolute. That aot also provided that widowers
should in like manner inherit similar interests in their
wives' estates, except such part of them as the wives in-
herited from their relatives.
I do not find that any of the conveyences would
be affected by this law except possibly the deed made by
Martha Geant in 1895, page 96 of abstract, in which she
was not joined by a spouse and there is no evidence by way
of recital in the deed or otherwise that she was unearried,
or if married that her husband hais since died.

stractor, that the land in question inwild land Great's

that of Isabelle Hosea who owned lot Both of
these
persons died intestate. Hamor in 1883 and Moses "about
three or four years ago", Their lands, later conveyed
by thoir heirs, were, therefore, for a while subject to
soisure for the payment of their possible debts: but this
fact need not. in my judgment, stand in the way of the
acceptance of the proposed deed because any effort on the
part of the Hamor croditors to subject the lands to the
payment of their debts Le now barzed by the recent stat-
utes of that State (section 13, chapter 134, Laws of being
Maine, 1917). which required effective action by creditors
under such circumstances within six years after the death
of decedents.

be taken by her possible creditors insumuch as they have

quitclaims and conveyed only such titles and interest as
were held by the grantors named therein. Those deeds
would not defeat the holders of the equitable rights or
claims asserted under outstanding unrecorded doods but

tions, chapter 117, Laws of Maine, 1907.
Some of these landa are burdened by outstanding
and subsisting rights of way easements and servitudes,
but in my judgment this fact should not prevent the 80⑉
captanca of the deede since it is hardly likely that the
use and enjoyment of these rights and servitudes would
seriously interfere with or impada the operations of the
national park in connection with which the landa are being
conveyed.
In conclusion I have the honor to inform you that
I find nothing in either the form of the dead submitted or
in the quality of the proponent's title which would justi-
Ly you in declining to accept this daed of donation to the
Government after it had been properly executed and recorded.

45 to 55% asphaltic oil applied without pressure and without
heat. Put on 2/10 to 3/10 gallons per square yard-- keep
trafic off for 24 hours. Oil penetrated and entirely
disappeared then add 62 to 70% asphaltic content, 125 to
150 degrees temperature. Put on so that both will be 1/20

maintenance and that should commence at once and be continuous

Bituminous concrete satisfactory. If trafic were heavy
enough would recommend cement concrete. If travel warrants
anything better than gravel think should go to cement concrete
but for present recommend crushed rock, clay bound treated
with oil. New road will develop depressions and humps for
the next three years. If cement concrete is to be used it
can be but on now without waiting. Edge should be 9 inches.
7 inches about 2 feet from edge, 6 inches in center. Not use
anything larger than e/g inch maximum stone for gravel or rock

$8.00
On the morning of April 23,1926 the crew was working
on the 7th Section. One of the things that was being done
was dumping rock over the bank. To do this a log was laid
near the edge of the bank to serve as a bumper for the truck.
Noz
The truck was a Ford truck, and the driver Lowell Young.
This bumper which was resting on the very edge of the
bank slipped and his emergency brake would not hold the
weight of the truck with the load. Consequently it went
over the bank, turning over several times and landing
approximately 100 feet below the level of the road. The
cab is destroyed and the body is bent and twisted but
think the motor and times are O.K.
No one was injured.

LOWELT YOUNG--driver.
Well we had a stick about eighteen inches from
edge of road. It was a round cord wood stick about
four feet long. When my hind wheel struck the stick
it slid off and she settled about two inches, put on
emergency brake but it didn't hold at all, just kept
on going and when I saw that she was going I piled
out of course. I couldn't do any good inside.
Or
LAWRENCE EMERY:- -
The truck was backing to dump XXXX near the bank.
He put down a firewood stick about eight inches through
the but end. It was about one and one-half feet from the
edge of the bank. He swung around to back. Hit the lo
and it slid back a little. When he did his truck sunk
down about two inches, clapped on emergency brake and
it did not hold one bit, went back over bank. He did
not leave until hind wheels over edge of bank.
it
T uck went about twenty feet and turned over,
struck on cab and smashed it, turned over again.
Now lays seventy-five feet from edge of bank. The
stick of wood was a four-foot stick.
The truck was
2/3 full of gravel.
The boy is a good careful driver and has been
since he has been there.

Mr. Walls came in and reported man by name of George B.
Young had cut his leg while working on Camping Ground at Otter
Creek. He had taken the man to Dr. C.C.Morrison.
I called Dr. C.C. Morrison and the following is what he
said about the cut:-
He doesn't know what the result will be but it was a cut
right into the outside of the knee. If the corner of axe pene-
trated the knee joint may have serious trouble. The cut was
about 11 inches long right over the knee joint itself. He thor-
oughly cleansed the cut and took two stiches to draw it together
and put on antiseptic dressing. Sent the man home to keep still
until after Sunday because it is very dangerous if inflammation
gets into the joint. If it does he will have stiff knee that
will never bend. He can't tell of any result until after three
or four days.
The manlives at Otter Creek in one of the last
houses down.

At the present time there are two water boys working
on the Bubble Pond Carriage Road both being hired by Mr.Small.
There really is not enough work to keep two water boys busy
through the day. There are only sixty five (65) men working
on the road and they are working very near together so it
would be a very easy matter for one water boy to take care
of the whole crew.

Mr. Lynam,
Mr. Small asked me to have you take up this matter
of wages in regard to the men who are working on the stone
culverts. He thinks they should be payed more than four
dollars per day (4.00). The following men are thoes who are
putting in the stone culvert on Section 3. Charles Young,
Elmer McGarr and Joseph Joyce.
Mr. Small spoke of five
dollars per day (5.00) as being a fair rate per day for
that type of labor.

EDWARDS LOT
Contains about eighteen acres.
Owned by Susan Ida Edwards and Earl Lincoln Moore
Purchase of the property was discussed with Mrs.
Edwards and with her son R. D. V. Edwards, of 75 State
Street, Boston.
About September 16, 1927 Mrs. Edwards felt inclined
to sell a portion of the lot for $150. per acre. Since
then I have been unable to get any price from her or from
her son.
My recollection is that for the entire lot Mrs.
Edwards wished a much larger price. I have no memorandum
regarding this price.
Discussed the matter with Mr. Edwards in Boston.
stating
on June 12, 1928 received a letter from Mr. Edwards/that he
had been unable to give the matter attention but that no
doubt I would hear from him in the near future.
Memorandum
August 1, 1928.
CHURCH LOT
Contains about twenty acres.
We have purchased 12/44ths of this lot. The Society
of the Church of the Holy Trinity of Middletown, Conn.,
owns the balance, 32/44ths, according to Sr. Walter C.
Jones, a member of the Vestry.
I find the title to 27/44ths in the Church and 5/44ths
in Amelia C. Glover.
Mr. Jones tells me that the Glover interest has passed
to the Church. I notified him that nothing appeared of
record to show this.
The correspondence was with Arthur L. Allin, Treasurer
of the Church. He wrote me October 25, 1927 that the Vestry
would not have a meeting until after the first of January
unless "we have a more liberal offer for the property than
you thought your client would be willing to pay".
Later
I woote Mr. Jones, as Trustee of the Estate of Mrs. Glover
and he wrote me that that interest had been transferred to
the Church, that he was one of the Wardens of the Church
and that if I would give him an offer he would bring it
before the Vestry.
I wrote him the particulars regarding my correspondence
with Mr. Allin and asked him if he wouldn't see that the
matter was brought before the Vestry.
Church Lot (Continued)
On May 23, 1928 I wrote him again stating that we
had purchased the Fiske Interest for a little under seventy
five dollars an acre and asked him if he would give the
matter early attention and advise me.
Memorandum
August 1, 1928.
DAY MOUNTAIN LOT.
Contains one hundred and forty acres.
Sixteen-twentieths have been purchased at fifty
dollars an acre. Two-twentieths, belonging to Brown
and McIntyre of Houlton have been purchased this week
at $200. per acre. One-twentieth owned by Brown
of Washington County is still outstanding. He agreed
to sell to me when he was ready to sell. I have sent
him deed for execution and have written him twice since
with reference to the property but have received no
answer.
One-twentieth is owned by the Seal Harbor Realty Co.
Memorandum
August 1, 1928.
LADD LOT.
Contains eight acres and ninety-seven square rods.
Discussed the matter with E. B. Hamer of Marion, South
Carolina offering $1,000. for the lot.
The property
was owned by Mr. Sarvis who conveyed it to his wife by an
instrument without seal. Mrs Sarvis deceased and left the
property to her six nephews and nieces. The will has not
been probated here. It must be.
I agreed to probate the will in addition to the $1,000.
On May 23rd, 1928 I again wrote to Mr. Hamer. He has
answered no letter since November 21, 1927.
Guy E. Torrey last winter, received a letter from
one of the heirs of Hrs. Sarvis asking him to give an
opinion as to the value of the property. My recollection
is that he wrote him the lot was worth between eight and
nine hundred dollars. No reply has been received.
On November 23, 1927 you authorized me to pay $2,000.
for the lot, This offer has not been made to them. I
thought it not wise to offer $2,000. until I had received
some reply to the various letters I had written them.
Memorandum
August 1, 1928.
ABBOT LOT
Contains about one hundred sixty eight acres.
Purchased for twenty two thousand five hundred
dollars ($22,500.)
REMAINING ABBOT LAND
The offer which Mr. Abbot had was $18,000. He
wanted $20,000. You authorized me to offer $19,000.
which was not made because after consideration we
thought it too much.
Memorandum
August 1, 1928.
MILLARD HAMOR LOT, AT BLUFFS.
This is a tract situated in the corner of the
Paradise Hill Road and the Hulls Cove Road next West of
the Gardener's cottage belonging to Mr. Morris. It, is
about one hundred eighty feet on the Morris line, about
one hundred seventy seven feet on the Hulls Cove Road,
and about seventy eight and one half feet on the Paradise
Hill Road.
Mr. Hemor wants $500. for the lot.
August 9th, 1928.
It seems to me it would be necessary to acquire all
of the land lying south of a line extending along the south-
ern walls of the present ice house buildings, and either in
the deeds or by a separate instrument reserve the right, for
a specified term of years, to maintain across the tract a
sluiceway to be taken away during the summer months but
certain posts to remain. Perhaps movable posts could be
arranged between the road and the Lake, and
If absolutely necessary one-half of the present small .
building lying south of the ice houses might remain
The small camp to be moved back to the line of the purchased
lot.
It might be advisable to acquire also all of the
remaining land at the Lake reserving in the deed, or by
separate instruments, the full use of it for a specified
term of years.
By the first proposition the road could be con-
structed, tree, plants and shrubs could be planted and
the road made in a Park-like condition.
I should think it would also be well to reserve,
where the present road is, a right of way for the same
specified term of years.
PAR
Mr. Rockefeller has constructed a good many
miles of horse roads over his own land and over lands of
the Park and Reservations, none of which have asy yet
been turned over to the public, the Park or the Reser-
vations, but the public may use them all and overe er-
tain of them public buckboard routes are maintained,
one by Mr. Vignoles and another by Mr. Herrick, and
possibly by others later. In the case of Mr. Vignoles,
insurance has been taken out.
Is there any liability as to the use by the
public? Mr. Herrick being one of the public. It seems
to me there is no liability unless an invitation either
express or implied has been given.
Do the public have an implied license or implied
invitation?
In general where the user exists for the common
interest or mutual advantage of both parties, it will
be held to be a case of invitation but if it exists
for the mere pleasure and benefit of the party exercis-
ing the privilege it will be held to be a case of license.
In the case of a license no duty is imposed by
law on the owner to keep his premises in a suitable condition

Mr. Rockefeller has constructed a good many
miles of horse roads over his own land and over lands of
the Park and Reservations, none of which have as yet
been turned over to the public, the Park or the Reser-
vations, but the public may use them all and over c er-
tain of them public buckboard routes are maintained,
one by Mr. Vignoles and another by Mr. Herrick, and
possibly by others later. In the case of Mr. Vignoles,
insurance has been thiten out.
Is there any liability as to the use by the
public? Mr. Herrick being one of the public. It seems
to me there is no liability unless an invitation either
express or implied has been given.
Do the public have an implied license or implied
invitation?
In general where the user exists for the common
interest or mutual advantage of both parties, it will
be held to be a case of invitation but if it exists
for the mere pleasure and benefit of the party exorcis-
ing the privilege it will be held to be a case of license.
In the case of a license no duty is imposed by
law on the owner to keep his premises in a suitable condition
for those who come there solely for their own convenience
or pleasure and who are not expressly invited to enter or
induced to come thoreon except that he shall not wantonly
injure him.
Where an owner of land directly or by implication
induces persons to enter on and pass over it he thereby
assumes an obligation that it is in a safe consition,
suitable for such use, and for a breach of this obligation
he is liable in damages to a person injured thereby,
provided due care was exercised by the person injured.
17 Ruling Case Law, Page 588.
To come under an implied invitation as distinguished
from mere license, the visitor must come for a purpose
connected with the business in which the occupant is engaged,
or which he permits to be carried on there. 106 Maine 75.
Stanwood vs. Clarcey.
If the owner or occupier of land either directly
or by implication induces persons to come upon his
permises, he thereby assumes an obligation to see that
such premises are in a reasonably safe condition, so that
the persons there by his invitation may not be injured
by them or in their use for the purpose for which the
invitation was extended. 112 Maine 510. Graffom vs. Patron s

The owner or occupant of land, who by invitation
express or implied induces or leads another to come upon his
premises for any lawful purpose, is liable in damages to
such persons, they using due care, for injuries occasioned

The Otter Creek Bridge Company was organized by
Act of the Legislature under Chapter 504 of the Private and
Special Laws of 1889.
I understand that it soon afterwards built a bridge
which bridge WELS destroyed and another built. The latter
also was destroyed.
An amendment to the charter was obtained by Act
of the Legislature as shown by Chapter 102 01 the Private
and Special Laws of 1913.
A new bridge was thereafter built and partly
destroyed.
The charter was further amended by the Legislature
in 1927.
Is it necessary to commence on a new bridge or
repair the old one within two years?
In 1895 the following section to the rules of
construction Chapter 1, Section 6, was added:-
If XXVI Acts of incorporation shall be regarded
in legal proceedings as public acts, and be in
force of the date of their approval. All acts of
incorporation granted since January one, eighteen
hundred and ninety-three, become null and void in
two years from the day when the same take effect,
unless such corporations shall have organized and
commenced actual business under their charters.
The organization of any corporation which may be
hereafter organized under any general law of this
state, becomes null and void within three years
from the day when its certificate of incorporation
has been filed in the office of the secretary of
state, unless such corporation shall have commenced
actual business under its organization. "
