Boston Feb 2^d1859

The Committee to whom was referred the sub-
ject of settling the bounds of Harvard College
Lot in M^t Auburn Cemetery respectfully
report, that they haveagreed with Amos A. Lawrence,
Esqr. Treas^r of Harvard College that Mr Wadsworth,
the cemetery Surveyor, should examine & reestablish
the bounds of the lot: & should decide whether the
monuments placed without its limits shall be
removed^withinthem, or a strip of land adjoining be
taken sufficient to bring said monuments within
the limites of the lot. In the latter case, a num-
ber of feet of land shall be set off from the
Northern extremity of the lot equal to the
number added to enclose the monuments:
and this shall be an equal exchange, and
neither party shall pay or receive any further
compensation for the land so exchanged.
Harvard College lot runs far down the hill &
becomes quite narrow at its Northrn termination.
No use has as yet been made of this part of the
lot, which seems of little value in its present connec-
tion, tho' it might be advantatgeously reunited
with ground about it.

Respectfully submitted by B. A. Gould}
James Cheever} Come.
