Chairman Knight said this matter had 
been referred to the board last year and 
they would report that they had been ad- 
vised by counsel to register the title. 
M. E. Gorman spoke at length on 
this article, claiming that the property 
belonged to the heirs of Stephen Allen. 
If the town voted to register title in this 
land, they were taking away rights of a 
family for generations, ““ and to whom 
it belongs today.’’ He was as willing 
as anybody else that the town acquire 
this property, but the owners should b 
recompensed. 
It was voted to accept the report of 
the selectmen. 
Chairman Knight then moved that the 
town instruct the selectmen to register 
title in the clay-pit lot, so-called. 
A report on the matter from Town 
Counsel Underwood was read by the 
moderator. The report, which went 
back to the very earliest days of the 
town, showed that in the mind of coun- 
sel, at least, the property belonged to the 
town. 
Mr. Knight stated that the’ registering 
of atitle in the land court was a very 
simple process, and that the heirs would 
be given ample opportunity to register 
their claims.

out who owns this is to register it in the

cided majority.
