  • Ownership History of the Mount Washington Summit1
    STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE Inter-Department Communication DATE: July 23, 2018 FROM: K. Allen Brooks AT (OFFICE) Department of Justice Senior Assistant Attorney General Environmental Protection Bureau SUBJECT: Ownership of Mount Washington Summit TO: The Mount Washington Commission ____________________________________ Ownership History of the Mount Washington Summit1 The ownership history of the summit of Mount Washington is interwoven with that of Sargent’s Purchase, Thompson and Meserve’s Purchase, and numerous other early grants and conveyances in what is now Coos County. Throughout these areas, there has never been a shortage of controversy. Confusion over what is now called Sargent’s Purchase began as far back as 1786 when the Legislature appointed McMillan Bucknam to sell certain state lands. Bucknam conveyed land described as being southwest of Roger’s Location, Treadwell’s Location, and Wentworth’s 1 The following history draws extensively from several N.H. Supreme Court opinions (formerly called the Superior Court of Judicature of New Hampshire) and to a lesser extent from various deeds and third-party information, specifically – Wells v.

  • Greater Boston and Massachusetts PHILANTHROPIC LANDSCAPE
    Greater Boston and Massachusetts PHILANTHROPIC LANDSCAPE JUNE 2020 Introduction Every June, Giving USA provides its report on philanthropy from the previous year to the nonprofit community. While reviewing the findings from 2019 will be informative, we know that the current pandemic, social unrest, and economic upheaval are presenting real-time and frequently changing demands on nonprofits across all sectors. In recent years, charitable giving in the United States has reached record-breaking numbers in contributions reported from individuals, foundations, and charitable bequests. The last significant dip in giving was during the financial crisis in 2009, when an estimated 14 million fewer US households reported making charitable gifts. We know that the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted nonprofit programming and finances. All insights point to continued unpredictability. The sector would be wise to make plans now to mitigate a potential dip in fundraising in 2020. While we can’t forecast the future, we do know that it’s critical that organizations stay connected to the communities that they serve, despite economic contraction and our inability to gather as usual. Our valid concerns about the impact of COVID-19 and the societal climate underscore the nonprofit sector’s vital leadership role in the welfare of our communities. More than one million nonprofit organizations are registered in the United States. How well institutions can pivot in response to the monumental events of 2020 will affect their philanthropy and income, and as a result, their programming and impact, well into the future. With this in mind, CCS has endeavored to consolidate many insightful reports on giving and current trends during these uncertain times into this regional philanthropic landscape.

O’CONNELL Editor’s Introduction: Our Editor’s Choice selection for this issue is excerpted from the book, The Hub’s Metropolis: Greater Boston’s Development from Railroad Suburbs to Smart Growth (Cambridge, MA: The MIT Press, 2013). All who live in Massachusetts are familiar with the compact city of Boston, yet the history of the larger, sprawling metropolitan area has rarely been approached as a comprehensive whole. As one reviewer writes, “Comprehensive and readable, James O’Connell’s account takes care to orient the reader in what is often a disorienting landscape.” Another describes the book as a “riveting history of one of the nation’s most livable places—and a roadmap for how to keep it that way.” James O’Connell, the author, is intimately familiar with his topic through his work as a planner at the National Park Service, Northeast Region, in Boston.

  • NEW HAMPSHIRE V. MAINE on Motion to Dismiss Complaint
    532US3 Unit: $U60 [09-06-02 19:13:00] PAGES PGT: OPIN 742 OCTOBER TERM, 2000 Syllabus NEW HAMPSHIRE v. MAINE on motion to dismiss complaint No. 130, Orig. Argued April 16, 2001—Decided May 29, 2001 New Hampshire and Maine share a border that runs from northwest to southeast. At the border’s southeastern end, New Hampshire’s east- ernmost point meets Maine’s southernmost point. The boundary in this region follows the Piscataqua River eastward into Portsmouth Harbor and, from there, extends in a southeasterly direction into the sea. In 1977, in a dispute between the two States over lobster fish- ing rights, this Court entered a consent judgment setting the precise location of the States’ “lateral marine boundary,” i. e., the boundary in the marine waters off the coast, from the closing line of Portsmouth Harbor five miles seaward. New Hampshire v. Maine, 426 U. S. 363; New Hampshire v. Maine, 434 U. S. 1, 2. The Piscataqua River bound- ary was fixed by a 1740 decree of King George II at the “Middle of the River.” See 426 U. S., at 366–367. In the course of litigation, the two States proposed a consent decree in which they agreed, inter alia, that the descriptive words “Middle of the River” in the 1740 decree refer to the middle of the Piscataqua River’s main navigable channel. Rejecting the Special Master’s view that the quoted words mean the geographic middle of the river, this Court accepted the States’ inter- pretation and directed entry of the consent decree.

    495/MetroWest Profile Prepared for the 495/MetroWest Suburban Edge Community Commission 495/MetroWest Suburban Edge Community Commission The 495/ MetroWest Suburban Edge Community Commission was established by the Legislature in Section 233 of Chapter 119 of the Session Laws of 2015. The commission will study development challenges experienced by edge communities, including transportation, water, cellular, and energy infrastructure, transit services, residential development, reuse of former industrial facilities and historic mills, brownfields reclamation, downtown redevelopment and other such constraints. The commission will then develop policy responses and recommendations to ensure that edge communities can participate in state development initiatives and benefit from state resources. The commission will focus its investigation and study on the 35 municipalities served by the 495/MetroWest Corridor Partnership, Inc. and develop a pilot program to address the issues to be studied and investigated by the commission. Our Mission The mission of the Public Policy Center (PPC) at UMass Dartmouth is to: Inform evidence-based policy making. Improve public understanding of critical policy issues. Provide educational and research opportunities to our faculty and students. Connect the resources of the University of Massachusetts to the communities we serve. The PPC's primary goal is to inform public policy discussions by providing policy makers with university quality research, technical assistance, and analytical services designed to help make our state, region, and communities better places to live, work, and do business. We do this by leveraging the substantial skills of our students and faculty partners, and enhancing the connections between the University and the communities it serves.
