Having consulted those who have had experience, in writing the history of towns and cities, and acting upon the wisdom gained from them, your committee recommend, that the town employ a competent person to write the history of Gard ner, as soon as practicable; that this person publish an edition of eight hundred copies, octavo, which can be done at a probable cost of three dollars per volume; that the town, at its own expense, furnish the author of its history, a map of the town and pictures of such public buildings and objects of general interest, as a committee chosen to superintend the publication of such a history, may think proper to insert. And that the town subscribe for two hundred copies of said history, at a sum not exceeding three dollars per volume, to be kept on sale by the town clerk, for the benefit of the town's treasury; no copy of said history to be sold, by the clerk, to any citizen of Gard ner, until the author has made a thorough canvass of the town, in his own behalf. That individuals and societies furnish, at their own expense, such pictures of houses, shops, churches, etc., as they may desire to see in such a work, the admission of which, to be at the discretion of the committee of publication.
The town then Voted, To choose a committee of three, who shall have the charge of procuring a history of Gardner.
