Court Ruling Boost
To Library Plan

protection in the courts given the
intention of wills.
Mr.. Hirsch, president of the First
National Bank and Trust Company
Of Milford and a lifelong resident
in Milford, died in September, 1910.
He left a number of trusts in his
will. Two of them are important in
this case-One provides for $4,000
for the erection of a public library
building plus $4,000 for the main
tenance of the building, and the
other for the Daniel Hirsch Fund
for the needy poor of the city of
Milford"
In the years since 1910, however,
building costs have risen sharply
enough to make the amount provid
ed too small to build an adequate
library, while at the same time So
cial Security and other legislation
has allowed the fund for the poor
to build up considerably.
James M. Tunnell, Jr., attorney
for the bank, and Martin A. Glas-
mire, trustees in Mr.. Hirsch's will,
asked the court to divert funds
from the poor fund to the library
fund. To draw out all the facts,
Chancellor Seitz appointed two Will
mingtOn attorneys, James L. Latch
um for the library fund, and H.
James COnaWay, Jr., for the poor
fund to argue the respective roles.
/ Before the main issue could be
attacked, however, the lawyers had
to argue another section of the
will. That was a provision saying
that should not the necessary and
proper steps be taken for the erec-
ton of a library within one year
of the death Of Mr.. Hirsch's wife
and brother, the library provision
would be imperative, the money to
become part Of the residuary es-
tate.
It was this point that Chancellor
Seitz settled on Tuesday, since un-
der the terms of the will the Ii
brary fund would have been re-
turned to the residuary estate by
today because there has been no
actual start on construction of the
library.
The chancellor upheld the trus-
tees of the library fund who claim
ed that they had upheld the terms
of the will by seeking the instruc-
ton of the Court of Chancery in
the matter and employing an archi-
tect to submit preliminary plan.
The next question to be decided
by the court is that of the diver
sion of the funds.
The Milford library is now loca-
ted on the second floor of the COM
munity building, which is also the
home of the Carlisle Fire Company.
A long fight of stairs leads to it.,
also leading to a number of com
plants of Milford residents.
