Beverly March 14th 1908
A special meeting of the Trustees was held on the above date.
Present Misses Loring and Sohier, Messrs. Driver, Bulkeley, Kilham, Webber and Dodge.
The purpose of this meeting was to discuss informally the question of sites, and size of
building for a Public Library. In order that the Committee having this matter in charge may be able
to give the committee from the City Government some idea what amount of land would be required.
It seemed to be the opinion that the building needed to fulfil all reasonable requirements should be
at least 125 feet by 80: size of lot to be governed by location whether on a corner or not.
