TIMOTHY SMITH'S LEGACIES TO THE TOWN OF EASTHAM
Copy of a section of the last will and testament of the late Timothy Smith, of Boston, in the County of Suffolk. Commonwealth of Massachusetts, December 7, 1917 :
Thirty-third Clause: "I give and bequeath unto the said Boston Safe Deposit & Trust Co. the sum of twenty-five thousand (25,000) dollars, in trust to invest and reinvest the same in safe securities, with like powers of change and conversion of investments as are heretofore given said trustees, and upon the further trust after paying all rea- sonable charges and expenses in the management of said trust estate, to add one per cent. of the income therefrom annually to the principal for the term of one hundred years from and after the decease of the survivor of myself and my said wife, and to pay over the remaining net income of said accumulated fund during the said period, and there- after the whole income, unto the Board of Selectmen, or such town official as they may designate, of the Town of
Eastham in said Commonwealth. I direct that of sait income one hundred dollars shall be paid by such town officials to those in charge of the Public Library in said Eastham to be expended in the purchase of new books for said Library so far as needed for such purpose in the judg- ment of the Library Committee of said Town; that the further sum of one hundred dollars, or so much thereof as said Town officials ean advantageously so use, shall be given once each year, preferably at the Christmas season, for the
26
assistance of deserving and needy aged persons of said town, and that the remainder of said income shall be used as a loan fund to be advanced by or under the direction of said Board of Selectmen to worthy young men and wome.) of said Town who may desire to obtain, and to enable them to obtain a better education than the Town affords, said loans to be in such amount as may be determined by said Board and be for such time and rate of interest as they may determine, and as said loans are repaid to said Town they shall constitute au accumulating fund to be managed by said Board of Selectmen until the same shall amount to twenty-five thousand (25,000) dollars. In making said loans I direct that care shall be taken to select persons who will make good use of the opportunity and advantages thereby afforded and in the opinion of said Board will probably repay the same as soon as able. If said annual loan fund available from the income of said original trust bequest of twenty-five thousand (25,000) dollars shall not be applied for or advanced in full to residents of said Town of East- ham, I direct that any unexpended residue thereof shall be added to the fund to be created by the return of loans as above set forth and that the accumulation in returns from said loan fund or unexpended income thereof added to suchi returns under the foregoing provisions shall be kept in- vested and allowed to accumulate until the fund amounts to fifty thousand (50,000) dollars, and thereafter one- fourth of the income thereof may, if required, be used to renovate and enlarge the town building heretofore erected in said Eastham by me and to extend and beautify the adjacent grounds and the balance of said income shall be applied by said Board of Selectmen of said Town to such public char- itable purposes as will in their opinion yield the greatest
