Boston Feb 2d1859

The Committee to whom was referred the sub-
ject of settling the bounds of Harvard College
Lot in Mt Auburn Cemetery respectfully
report, that they haveagreed with Amos A. Lawrence,
Esqr. Treasr 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
removedwithinthem, 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.
