~r.Kimball: ~bout article for appropriation of $1050. ? ~
Mr. Blaunt: Money is owed Judge Poland'and Mr.-Sanguinetti '~
i.n fighting Franklin E.Smith. Says asked for money but has
,~eceived no bill. Thinks combined bill will be more than $1000.
T r. Kimball: Have you asked Judge Poland what he will charge~?_
Is it ,guess work? ..
Mr.. B10unt:. "Yes"
~r., Kimball: $1050. "is rather ~n unusual sum t~ guess.
or. Bl~ount: We appropriate other monies for work. Tovm voted
fight Franklin E. Sm~ith to the end.
~r. Kimball; Mr. 21ount says theoretically bills for this work
~are due Mr. Sanguinetti and Judge Poland. I quote Mr. Sanguinetti
.. In giving my information to the Town I am ,guided by no
lterior motive. I am associated with Mr. Smith and he expects
.~o pay any fees. I s.tand to gain nothing one way or the other....
,The $4500 paid to the Law Department was for what purpose? Was
~he~e a. bill' submitted for the payment of that $4500?
~r. Sanguin~tti- Refuses to answer.
,Mr. Kimball: Repeats his question, why was money paid and for what
purpose?
.Mr. Robert Backus: To complete registration of bathing beach
and purchase land from Franklin E.Smith.
~r.Kimball: On what authority did Selectmen purchase this land?
Mr. Backus: We had a law suit on our hands and we settled it.
as that is the Selectmen's privilege. ~.
Mr. Kimball: Was there a deed given? .
Mr. Backus: I do not'know,must ask Tov~ Council.
Mr.. 'Sanguinetti: Yes,and it is on record.

Mr. Sanguinetti: $4500.00 ....
Mrs. Kimball: By cash or by check?
~.~r. Sanguinetti: By Cash. ' -~
Mr.. Kimball: Was it not unusual to pay fo~ land by cash?
Mr; Sanguinetti: Mr. S~ith would not accept anything but Cash.
~r. Kimball: Mr. Backus says this was done in the nature'.of an
mergency transaction so called, to settle a law suit~. Was, ~
t by advice of Town Coulcil,or did he say that purchase of
. land was legal or not? ~ .... ,,, :,
i~r.. Backus: Was not under advice of Town Coun~il.. _.
~.~r; Kimball: What was not legal about this matter?
,Mr. Sanguinetti: Says he does not see why we must talk about
,this. My feeling w~m that purchase of land might be illegal,
~but Judge Corb~tt said to' settle this thing forthwLth, title
~n' someone else but town.
,Mr; Kimball; Did you approve of this?
Mr. Sanguinetti: I-approved. · ~' / ~/%,:~:~
~r. Kimball: Tov~ Council' says it would be'illegal'for~purchaee
[~f land,Town says was for purchase of land, tw0 statements diss-
ilar. If he knew it was illegal why' did he pay. Mr.' Smith?

Mr. Kimball: Has Town Counsel any evidence that Mr. S~ith was
~aid this $4500. in' cash. -' ~ ~'' ...' ~
,Mr. Sanguinetti: I paid'him'myself.' ,' '-"-'
Mr. Kimball: Did Tow~ Counsel get receipt?, '
~r; Sanguinetti: Yes.
~,~r; Kimball: Is~receipt part of To~m Rec6rds?
Mr~Sanguinetti: Has. receipt in his files~
Mr. Kimball: Rather unusual place for receipt for cash Whi~ch is
part'of Town Funds. Tova~ has paid Mr. Sanguinetti $4500. for
land. judge. Poland was retained in ~this case,why was he not co-
sulted at this clandestine meeting? ~
Mr. Backus:~I did not-think Judge Poland Oould,be at Town ~ 1
meeting. ' ~- ~ ~ j .... ~ ....... $ ~ . ....... ~ ~ ~ JI~ ~ 1
Mr.~Kimball: Did Town ~6ounse~advise you'c°uld take this into
your own hands~ ,~ ~
Mr. Bacl~us: I do not know.
Mr. Kimball: Did' you advise To~vn ~o~ take m~tter into ~heir own
hands?
Mr. sangUinetti: I do not know.
Mr. Kimball: Was Judge Poland consulted before this tr~nsactio
took place?
Mr.'Backus:~About three or foUr'weeks before this transaction
took place Judge P~land appeared before Finance Committee,
thought bill would go through legislature,advised us to come
to settlement. ·
Mr. Sanguinetti: Let Mr. Gardner Russell talk instead of Mr.
Eimball.
Mr. Kimball: Why was me,ting secret and why were members asked
not to divulge what ha~ Ltaken place?
Dr. Congdon: Was notified by Selectmen they were to have a
meeting with F.E.Smith to see where they stood.'Judge Corbett
would not close the case for the Town until c~rtain de.eds
the~ bathing beach were turned over. Wanted matter settled and
something must pass between, them.~Town must have deeds or co~l~
not get title. When we found out certain circumstances and
conditions we voted unanimously. F.E.Smith said you must settl~
or go to court. Judge Corbe~t said this cannot go through unt~!
you get deeds to two parcels of land to bathing beach. We aske~
F.E.Smith all sorts of questions. F.E.Smith by withdrawing obi
ections could put .thing through, and-the only way we could do
i~ was to buy him off. Judge Corbett signed decree when two
deeds came up. E.E.Smith would not leave matter open,take it n
now or ~o to court. Said did not trust Town of Nantucket.
Mr.I~mbEll: V~y was meeting secret?
Dr. Congdon: So proposition would not ~c0me'out'and other h~irs
come forth. Everything was done in ~one night.
Mr. Kimball : Why was the secrecy for two~ or three days?
Mr. Backus: Nothing liven out until we~got decree,
Mr. Kimball~ou~d not yield~floor to any one else. Asked Judge
Poland about adverse possession. · ~
Judge Poland: I did not inten~ to volunteer on this matter.'
Was ~ot~consulted about this settlement. Selectmen did not seel
fit to let ~e in on it. Mr. Backus said he phoned me,but I
not think he did'as~I was never away from~y~phone more than a
half hour a~ a time. I would have stopped it. The whole 'trans-
action ~as illegal and taking from reserve fund was illegal..
Judge Corbett said Town could have had verdict by adverse ~
possession. Think we should have gone to'Jury trial. 'I did
think settlemgnt advisable. I said $2000. for Mr. Smith, I did
not approve $~500. for this land. "'
Mr.~ Russell: Do you think Town ~can recove~ this~money. ~ ·
Ju~ge~Polan~: I think Mr. Smith is liable to ~ay back this
$4500. I think Selectmen should institute such a pMoceeding.
Mr. Charles Blount: I~should like ~o ask Mr. Kimball a question.
Mr. Kimball: QuestiOn. · - - ~
Mr. Blount. Did you appear against the Town and for what ~urpose7
Mr. Kimball: Explained at some length about parcel.of land
adjoining beach which belonged to his mother. Pai~ Town
for use in Building fund.' Said he had not thought of taking any
~nd from Tov~j As Town had filed petition to register this
l~and and that.piece of land was included, to keep. it ~ filed
an objection. As'compensati0n'fo~ this land made gift of $§0.
