LEGAL NOTICE,

PEARSON Il DoHERrY and HUNTER & N
BY, Att'ys.
The Portland daily press., 1879-11-06

Mr., EpIroR:-I noticed in your columns
few DAYS ago communication concerning the
"Soldiers and Sailors Monument Association
of Portland" and inquiring what disposal has
been made of tie funds raised at the time OF
organization. Being the last secretary elected
and having the records in my possession,
would state in reply to the communication,
that there has been no meeting of the associa-
ton since 1875. In January OF that year the
late Gen. Geo. It. Shepley was chosen presl-
dent, and meetings were regularly held until
late in the fall, when they ceased, owing to the
very light attendance of members: The presl-
dent from that time to the date OF his DEATH
did not deem it advisable to call the association
together. it being in his judgment 1mpractlca-
bic in view of the depressed state OF business
to attempt to raise the means to carry out the
objects of the organization.
The furds remain in the custody OF the
treasurer, Henry w. Hersey, Esq. elected IN
1870, who informs me that they are deposited
in the Savings Bank at interest.
For the information of all that are interest,"
ed. will add, that if it is desirable to hold
NEE ting of the association, the constitution
PROV des 'that it shall be called by the secre-
tary n'pon the application of five members"
L am, very respectfully,
c. W. ROBERTS.
