Portland Society of Natural History, 500
Nearly all the above donations have
been paid, those which have not been
paid will be paid at once.
The aggregate of the donations made
by the trustees is about $158, 900. This
represents tbs bulk Of the estate left by
Joseph Walker, Of this city, several years
ago. BY the provisions Of his will his
estate was left to trustees, of whom the
late Frederick Fox was one, and the
trustees were authorized to distribute
it entirely according to their discretion
giving such amounts as they judged
right to benevolent and educational pur-
poses, but the distribution was limited to
Gum berland county. The trustees ap-
pointed by Mr.. Walker died before they
had time to distribute the estate and the
three trustees mentioned above were ap-
pointed by the Probate court, after full
and extended hearing.
That the trustees have done their
work well cannot be denied, though
some may be disappointed because the
institutions VIII oh they represent have
not been given larger sums. The Port
land Public library will receive the lar
gest amount and the donation will great
" increase the value and efficiency Of
the library. The Maine General hospl-
tai comes next, receiving nearly as much
as the library. This $40, 600 which goes
to The hospital comes at time when 1t
is most needed to enlarge and increase
the efficiency of a worthy institution.
Bridgton academy and Westbrook SEM
mary have been generously treated. The
Greenleaf Law library, already valuable
collection Of legal volumes, in the city
building, by the addition of $40, O0O
worth Of new books will become one OF
the best law libraries in any city of the
size of Portland in the country. The
-Bowdoin college library has been gener-
ously remembered and many OF the we'll
known charitable societies of Portland
profit by the distribution in no small
degree.
