to the President shall seem reasonable

Lot No. 1384 Petition of Arthur J. Meriam
The President on behalf of the Committee on Lots reported that
the petition of Arthur J. Meriam was based upon the fact that
his father, Jonas Meriam, had an equitable interest in a part of
Lot No. 1384, which was deeded to Thomas Mair and was after-
S _ wards deeded back to the Corporation by said Mair without
mention of the Meriam interest, and that the evidence satis-
fied the Committee prima facie that Jonas Meriam had such
interest in fact in part of said Lot, as indicated by a
stone bound on the same, this view being substantiatied by a
written statement of Caroline E. Skinner, sole surviving heir
of said Thomas Mair, who joins in said petition; and that
upon these facts the Committee, to whom the petition was
referred with power, passed the following vote:

Voted, that, until otherwise ordered by the Board of Trustees,
permission be given for the burial of the widow and de-
scendants of said Jonas Meriam in the part of Lot No.
1384, claimed to have belonged to him equitably, as long
as vacant graves therein remain unoccupied, and
upon this report it was voted that same be entered
upon the records of the Trustees.

Lot No. 5973 Petition of Everett W. Raddin
The President further reported on behalf of the Committee
on Lots that the petition of Everett W. Raddin requests the
Corporation to divide Lot No. 5973 into equal parts and give
him a deed of each part in place of the single deed now
held by him, that it appeared that the Corporation would
have given him two deeds originally, if so requested.
