Sebago.

| Sebago, April 20.-How is the town OF
income of the two thousand dollar fund
set apart by DIR. Potter tor benefit of
Sunday schools in town? While the
town accented the whole Of the be-
queathed estate as only one fund now
amounting to S34, 740 90 and elected only
same and to apply the income of the
whole and for the purposes and objects
designed" there were some who at a
special town meeting held January II,
raised a question as to the right of a
| town to manage funds for two or more
| separate purposes without first separat-
| Ing the two thousand dollars as dis
tinct fund from the remainder given for
| support of the Academic school, by
creating an additional board of trustees,
but as the existing board of trustees are
not specially elected for either part alone
the question would then arise how they
are legally trustees of either part of the
fund? 1t seems that the only legal way
to have proceeded would have been to
nrst accept one part of the legacy then
the other according TO terms of the will
OF the donor, then after accepting each
part for the purpose designed, to
have created "a separate board of trustees
for each part or fund and then kept each
one separate instead of uniting the whole
as one fund for two purposes under man
agement of one board No question was
raised but that the town could elect
some members in case they had created
another separate board.
