THE CECIL WING, ELKTON, SATURDAY, AUGUST 1885


To the Honorable Board Of County Commissioners:
GENrLEMEN:-The annual statement OF last year
closed with ii deficiency OF 5000 created mainly
by extra expenditures On roads and bridges. The
payment Of this sum and the repair OF the greater
part OF the damages done by the flood in
June, 1854, was contemplated in the levy of that
year, made ut the rate OF 90 cents the Sloo the
highest reached since lsd6-7 when % cents was laid
to meet the ordinary expenses OF county govern
ment.
The alternative of increasing the tax rate
atng debt To he paid of by gradual levy was pre-
scented to you and you decided that it would he less
burthensome in the end To meet the extraordinary
OUTLAWS by immediate levy. The result shows the
wisdom Of your decision. 1t would have been ne
eessary. in order to repair at all the flood dam
ages, To make IL loan Of 10000. This could not
have been put in the form OF II bonded debt without
Legislative sanction, which could not have been Oh
tanned for two years during which time You would
have been compelled To carry this large amount as
a floating debt probably 1T as high rate OF inter
est AS six per cent But admitting the practicable
ity OF negotiating such loan ut the low rate OF
our per cent. and the payment thereof in install
ments OF $1,000 per year after as short period as
two years allowed ior maturity the following would
be the result:

in 1852, declares, ''that as a trust is creature
of equity, SO equity will not only modify and
regulate the execution of trusts, but also
direct limit and control the acts of the parties
trustees, guardians, &C., and this even in cases
where they are by will, or deed, vested with a
general power" In that case, the Lord Chan
cellor remarked, 81 like not that man should
be ambitious of trust, when he can get moth
ing but trouble by it, and declared, "that
without any reflection on Etrick (the re-
spondent) he should NEEDLE no further in the
trust" Lord Blackburn declared in pronoun-
cling the Judgment of the Privy Council during
last year, that Though it should appear that
the charges Of misconduct were either not
made out, or were greatly exaggerated. so that
the trustee was justified in resisting them, and
the court might consider that in awarding costs,
yet if satisfied that the continuance of the
trustee would prevent the trusts from being
properly executed, the trustee might be re-
moved" that, 'it must always be borne in
mind that trustees exist for the bene-
fit of those to whom the creator of the
trust has gwen the trust estate" (Letterstedt
VS.. Broers ct al. L. R. Appeal Cases, vol. 9
page 371.) In Scott vs.. Rand, (ll8 Mass.
2l7,) it is held by the Supreme Judicial Court
OF that State. that an application for the re-
moval of trustee is addressed to the reason
able discretion of the court, after careful con-
sideration Of all the circumstances, the exist
ing relations, and to some extent, the state of
feeling between the parties. (See Mcpherson
VS.. Cox, SO U. S. page 4I9.)
In view of all the circumstances of the case,
the welfare Of the trust calls for removal of
the respondent, Mr.. John Rand, from his office
of trustee under the will of the testator Mr..
John B. Brown. Let it be so decreed, and
that some discreet person be appointed to the
office Of trustee under the will Of Mr.. Brown
in the place Of the respondent, Mr.. Rand and
let him be ordered to surrender all the trust
assets in his hands to the trustees of the estate
and to release to them all interest as trustee in
the trust estate.
The cause may stand over until April rules
for the decree to be settled in accordance with
this opinion.

THE ROBINSON ESTATE.
Proposed Additions and Alterations.

The plans and contracts are being prepared
and work will be commenced this week on
great Improvements in the buildings owned by
Mr.. David Robinson, at the corner of Centre
and Congress streets.
The wooden stores on Centre street are to be
removed and replaced by three story brick
block, the front of which is to be of face brick
and well ornamented. 1t will have an iron
front and gravel roof. This will give two
stores on Center street, each 23x42 feet, and
the second story will be one room of the above
size, or finished with offices with entrance
from 47S3 Congress street. Bay windows will
be thrown out on the Centre street front
Mr.. Robinson also proposes to build an ex-
tension to the above in the rear of the Brown
aud Cushman estates, reaching to the Kimball
block. This last building will be of brick,
three stories high, the lower story to be about
73A21, with large skylghts at each erd;
the second and third stories to be about 60x21
feat.
These improvements will give a continuous
floor from Congress street of 80 feet on Centre
street, and an extension running back 115 feet
from Centre street to the Kimball block, max
block will be heated with steam.
Mr.. j. Fl. Lamson has leased that part of the
building devoted to a photograph gallery and
will have it furnished In the best style. A
large bay window is to be built out from the
reception room on Congress street. This will
give an unbroken view of Congress street FROM
Oak to Elm streets, and will make of the re-
ception room an elegant apartment.
The lot upon which the present building
stands has an interesting history. 1t was orig.
inally occupied as the family mansion of Mr.,
John Mahan, one of the old merchants OF
Portland. Mr.. Mahan built his house in 1904
on site which was then considered we'll up
town. 1t was house surrounded with well
kept grounds In the good old style. Mr.. David
Robinson bought the house in 1888, and it was
afterwards remodeled into store. In 1864
Mr.. Robinson sold the property to his son, the
present owner, SO that it has been in the family
for fifty-two years.
A novel feature of building in those days
was brought to light by this fire in the ex-
posture Of the window-weight castings. The
socket for the sash weight is gouged ont of a
solid 1oist, and the curiosity hunters will no
doubt take all that can be secured.

The Haydn Association.

--~SSNF ~~"seN " GtS 4 1866
Will you not lend your endorsement to thu
proposition of the Argus that something should
De done for the Haydn Association? Oar cjti-
zens are proud OF the Society and fully appre-
ciate the advantage of having such school of
classical music here, and the value of their
services SO gracefully and freely rendered on
paollc occasions like those of the Peabody oh
sequies and the recent Longfellow celebration.
III hall could be furnished them, rent free. it
would relieve them of part OF the heavy tag
winch they pay in addition to the time they
are obliged to bestow, and doubtless it could be-
done without expense to the city. Even if
nothing can be done in public direction.
there is way in which those whe wish can
show their appreciation: that is BY subscribing
Tor their season tickets to rehearsals.
ADAM NEwBEGIN.
1--WE have so frequently urged our public
spirited citizens, who have MEANS to erect a
nall for music in which the Haydn Society
could obtain the necessary facilities for the
Advancement of their art, that it seems SUPER
huous to'repeat our arguments. 1t has long
been our hope to see such hall erected BY
individual or combined enterprise, but until
that Is done we cordially second the suggestion
that liberal subscription be made to the
Socety's season ticket and rehearsal fund

Our great Ideal Hat is attracting so much
attention that even our copetiters have been
obliged to send into our store and buy a few
of them and pay as our retail price and have
gone so far as to tell their customers that they
are having some of them made at our factory.
Now we will guarantee that these same parties
cannot get one of them and in fact have not
got money enough to buy one direct from the
factory. We designed this novelty and il 9TH
