e., the Lawrence Light Guard. May 28, 1888, Captain Clark reported that the guns were exposed to the weather and ought to be covered. This was referred to Mr. Clark (William P. Clark, chairman of the board). On April 2, 1889, Mr. Clark was made a committee on the care of and placing the guns in position at the library. Two weeks later he reported, the library committee desired no further action. January 2, 1890, that committee was invited to confer with the selectmen, and on the 28th James A. Hervey appeared thereabout. He stated, the committee do not consider the grounds a suitable place (the local press has quoted him, the library is neither a fort or an arsenal), and suggested that the guns be sold and books bought with the proceeds. The selectmen, in report of 1888, had recommended an appropriation of $100 for preservation and care of cannon, the same to be properly mounted and placed on the library grounds. This sum was appropriated, and of the amount $2.17 was expended.
