Art. 4. Voted to accept the reports as printed in the Annual Town Report. The Moderator called for any special reports and James E. Kelley reported as follows in relation to the title to the North School House Lot: On examina- tion I find that at a Town Meeting held on the third day of November, 1868, the Town voted to accept the report of the Selectmen in regard to a certain lot of land by them laid out as a School House location in the North District and awarding to the owners Elizabeth F. and Anna D. M. Blanchard, $100, which they refused and never accepted. Under Sec. 39 of Chap. 38, General Statutes then in force, the land so taken shall be held and used for no other pur- pose and shall revert to the owners, his heirs and assigns, upon the discontinuance there, for one year, of such school as is required by law to be kept by the Town.


Elizabeth F. Blanchard later acquired her sister's part and later deeded to Charlotte E. Gowing, a lot estimated to contain twelve acres; in the description of which occurs the following. "Southerly by land of the Town of Wilming- ton called the North School House Lot."


I consider the Town has an easement but no fee in the land, and if school was discontinued for a year, that it would revert to the heirs of Elizabeth F. Blanchard, she never assigned it, having excluded the lot when she sold the adjoining land.


JAMES E. KELLEY.


Art. 5. Motion: That the Town raise and appropriate the several and respective sums recommended by the Select- men on page 124 of the printed report and that the motion be divided and put upon each item separately and subject to amendment. Voted in the affirmative.
