416 Data for Enclosure to Bordman

    [April 23 1734]

    The Corporation Oct. 19, 1733, appointed Messrs. President, Flynt and Steward Bordman, to take care of the College Lands at Townsend. On Nov. 26, 1733, they desired Mr. Jones to go to Townsend about said Buisness; and Dec. 13, 1733, said Jones told us, he had been at Townsend, and found, that nothing was setled or entred in any authentick Records about the College interest there. Mr. Jones had an order to the Steward for 25s for his service allready done. Mr. Jones then said, he had entred with the Town Clark at Townsend a desire, that when the next Proprietors meeting was notified, a clause should be inserted that the College interest might be considered. We then desired Mr. Jones to [procure?] the directions given him Nov. 26, 1733. And agreed with him, that he finding himself with Horse and provision, should have eight shillings per day for what time he necessarily spends in College service; and if he imploys his instruments as surveyer in the College service, then 12s per day. If he should imploy chain-men in College service, he is to hire them as cheap as he can, and give an account of it to us, we suppose ’twould not be more than 5s per day for a chainmen.
