Office of the
COMMISSIONER OF PUBLIC RECORDS.
State House, Boston, Nov. 14, 1907.
Chairman of the Selectmen,
Merrimac,
Dear Sir:
Upon an official visit of inspection yesterday of the vault and safe containing the records of your town, I find them both overcrowded, and more room must be provided; also that your vault is both lined and fitted with wood, which is contrary to law; and I must respectfully call the attention of your honorable board to Sec. 18, Chap. 35, of the Revised Laws of 1902, which specifically states that "only fittings of non-combustible material" shall be used.
I trust your town will soon remedy these conditions.
Very truly yours,
HENRY E. WOODS, Commissioner.
