While this matter was pending, your Committee made further attempts to settle the whole matter by proposing that the whole common northerly of the carriage gates should remain open as REPORTOF COMMITTEEON COMMON. a park or ornamental ground, unobstructed by buildings in the charge of the town forever, but were unable to induce the parish to accept this proposition. In June, 1893, the question of the title to the common and the Po the B oard Selectmen and the Inhabitants B edford of of .­ possession of the parish or the town of the part betwetm the Your Committee appointed in regard to the Town Common meeting house and the main street, came up for hearing and beg leave to make their report as follows: - determination before Mr. Ju stice Knowlton in the Supreme Immediately after our appointment we met the representatives Court.

The parfah never would 74 have dared and never did exclude the town or general public from the public uses of the Common, and the matter of the pos­ session attempted to be shown by the parish was as a common, and as su0h does not exclude the public who, of course, have their rights therein. The town has always recognized the right of the parish to the land about and in the rear of the church. A formal decree was entered in July, 1893, in accordance with this decision, upon which an execution issued for the town's costs, and they have been paid by the parish. We hope that the parish and the town may now, by concur­ ANNUAL REPORT rent votes, or in some proper way, determine the line between the parish and town land in such a manner that posterity may OF TR& not be at the trouble of further discussing this question.
