Dale) of the Borough of Manhattan, City, County, and State of New York, Sept. 11th, 1909: - � Second Clause: —"I give and devise to the Town of Or- leans, in the County of Barnstable, State of Massachusetts, the sum of Five thousand dollars, in trust nevertheless, that the said Town by and through its proper Officers shall invest and keep the same invested so as to obtain the best interest and income available, and apply the said interest and income to and for the benefit of the poor of said Town. This be- quest is made to perpetuate the memory of my beloved father and mother, and I hereby request that the same be known as the "Clemant Gould and Wife Fund." At the death of Mrs. Burke, a copy of the will was for- warded to the Town Treasurer, and is now on file in his office, together with all subsequent correspondence and papers connected with the bequest. The "residuary legatee" (Mr. Burke) objected to the payment of the be- quest to the Town of Orleans on the ground that the Town had no capacity to accept and administer such a trust as was created by Mrs. Burke's will. The Surrogate's Court referred the question raised to a Referee, the Referee rendered his decision, holding that the Town had no capacity to accept and administer such a trust. The Town of Orleans filed exceptions to the Referee's report, which were overruled and the Surrogate's Court made a formal decree confirming the Referee's report declaring the trust invalid.

MARVEL, Al- D" Orleans, Mass., Jan. 1, 1915- To the Citizens of Orleans:— Your Committee herewith submit their annual report, to which is appended reports of Superintendent of Schools, Principal of High School, Supervisor of Music and Draw- ing, each elucidating their own work during the year. The year has been one of marked success and improve- ment, notwithstanding the fact we have had to release five members of our teaching sniff, for various reasons. We have been more than fortunate in being able to secure pro- ficient teachers to carry on the excellent work already in progress, and we feel better equipped to train and educate the young and maturing minds than ever before. We can but commend' our present teaching staff. During summer vacation a complete water and lavatory system was installed in basement of building, which is giv- ing perfect satisfaction, same being a great improvement over our antiquated system. A new and complete heating plant was also installed, with radiators in all rooms and hallways, which gives us ample heat for all weather condi- tions. During moderate weather the new system will fur- nish sufficient heat alone, thereby necessitating only one heater in operation. We anticipate no greater running ex- penses for fuel than heretofore.
