No. 4.] HIGHWAYS. 205 



THIRD DAY. 



The meeting was called to order at 9.30 o'clock by First 

 Vice-President Sessions, who asked if there Avas any busi- 

 ness in order. 



Mr. John G. Avery (of Spencer). I move a vote of 

 thanlvs to the citizens of Nortli Adams and to the local 

 society for tlieir royal entertainment last evening, and also 

 to the various speakers who have been with us and have 

 given us such admirable papers that have been so instruct- 

 ive. I have no doubt we will all be benefited by our visit 

 to North Adams. 



The motion was seconded and unanimously passed by the 

 Board . 



Mr. A. A. Smith (of Colrain). This morning the sec- 

 retary of the Board and myself made a visit to ]Mr. Carpen- 

 ter, delegate from the local societ}'', and we found him 

 much better than we expected. He was able to be up, and 

 treated us with that cordiality that is so characteristic of 

 the man, and he wished to be remembered to all the mem- 

 bers of the Board. 



The Chair. The next in order is the lecture by an 

 eminent gentleman from Boston, whom we have heard 

 before and appreciated, and from whom we expect to re- 

 ceive instruction and entertainment at this time. M. F. 

 Dickinson, Esq., of Boston, will speak upon "Rights and 

 duties concerning highways."
