Seectman Barnett submitted the following pro-
test to the above resolution of Mr.. Jonas, which,
on motion of Mr. Harrison, was ordered TO be en-

voted against the resolution Of Mr.. Jonas, for
the indefinite p0stponement Of Mr. Prentiss' pro-
position to take scrip for the amount OF his claim
against the CorporatiOn for the following reasons;
and must beg that they be spread on the minutes
% the Board: ST. Al a previous meeting OF the
Board OF Selectmen, Mr.. Prentiss' claim was then
recognized, and such action was taken as we an
'iciPaIed would pay the same; and now to undo
what was then done, would imply one OF two
things: that we then acted hastily and incorrect
y, or that we now wish to avoid the responsible
~ OF arranging the claim; to neither OF which
implications am willing to be considered party.
Cd Mr.. Prentiss has already judgment, and it
such a course is taken as Mr.. jonas resolution
contemplaies, he will proceed and sell property
now owned by the Corporation which yields an
nually $500, at great sacrifice, and will ulti-
mately involve The Corporation in a debt much
lager than the original judgment Of Mr.. Prentss
