RARE Gift TO
HIGH SCHOOL.
Miss Paterson Finds Document
Relating TO School Room in
1888 and Makes II a Present.
WRITING STILL EASILY LEGIBLE.

An ancient and historical docu-
ment of rare interest was found very
recently by Miss Emily X. Paterson
in an old desk at her home on Lewis
street and has been framed and pre-
sented to the high school, where it
is attracting much attention.
1t was written by hand and the ink,
although Drowned by time, is plainly
legible. 1t refers to furnishing a
room in the State House, now the city
hall, as school room, and collecting
money for it. The wording and spell
ing are unique reminders of 119 years
ago.
The document reads as follows:
"The inhabitants of the city of
Perth Amboy that We're desirous of
Promoting Grammar School, as well
as a school in which the English Lam
|guage might be taught grammatical
ly, requested such of their number as
were willing to undertake it to pro-
vide the materials and workmen to
repair the North Room of the State
house and make it fit and comfort
able for that purpose which is done
The expences of which by Accounts
examined by Committee appointed
at meeting Of the Inhabitants called
together by publicly advertizing are
reported to be IL pounds, IA shil-
Ilings, 9 pence. Hitherto born by two
persons who did the work and two Oh
three others who furnished the ma.
terials and paid Cash for some part
of the workmanship & the Gentlemen
who were of the Committee, having
reported it as their opinion, that the
properest way to collect the money
was by subscription Mr.. Michael
Kearny and Mr.. Bell have generously
offered to undertake that business
To whom the persons that are to re-
ceive the money wish it may be paid
as speedily as possible, More than two
years having elapsed since the work
was done.
