4 BOARD OF AGRICULTURE. [Pub. Doc. 



W. C. Baylies, Esq., president of the Bristol County 

 Agricultural Society, presented the request of said society 

 for the approval by the Board of Agriculture of the vote of 

 said society, Nov. 17, 1894, authorizing the directors to 

 acquire or convey real estate in order to lay out a street 

 connecting Agricultural Avenue with Highland Street. It 

 appeared from a copy of the records of the society, attested 

 by the secretary, that the society passed the vote above 

 referred to by the affirmative vote of two-thirds of the mem- 

 bers present and voting at a meeting duly called for the 

 purpose. It was therefore 



1 r oted, That the society be directed to advertise a hearing 

 of the parties interested, by the Board of Agriculture, and 

 that, if no person appears at the hearing to object, the 

 secretary is hereby authorized to record the approval by the 

 Board of Agriculture of the vote of the Bristol County 

 Agricultural Society, and that the secretary notify said 

 society of the action of the Board. 



Voted, That the executive committee of the State Board 

 of Agriculture desire to express to the family of the late 

 General Cogswell, Representative in Congress from the 

 Sixth District, their appreciation of the loss which they feel 

 at his death. He has invariably shown deep interest in the 

 agricultural affairs of Massachusetts, both while in the State 

 and national governments, and has always been active in 

 advising with, and executing the wishes of, this Board in 

 matters of legislation. They desire to convey to his family 

 their sincere sympathy in their recent loss. The secretary 

 is directed to send a copy of this vote to the family of the 

 deceased.
