1 ' <br /> May 4, 1981 <br /> i <br /> Selectmen: Town of Mashpee <br /> Attention: Hon. George Benway, Chairman <br /> Hon. Chester Garland 0. <br /> Hon, Jean Thomas 7 <F.. <br /> p �l., 4 <br /> Please accept my resignation as a member of the Mashpee Historical <br /> Commission . As you are aware I have moved from Mashpee to Cotuit and <br /> I <br /> have declared a legal residence in the Town Of Barnstable. <br /> i <br /> I feel strongly that the Historical Commission is on the right <br /> i <br /> track in trying to rehabilitate the original Mashped Town Hall and I <br /> would hope that in the near future the former Town Hall (USO Building) <br /> could also become part of a Historic Arts aid all encompassing Museum <br /> Center. Unfortunately, the Federal and State Historic Commissions <br /> limit designating any historic structures after 1930 as being eligible <br /> pre-1930 �. <br /> for government funding. Mashpee suffers from a paucity of suchNstructure <br /> I also feel that the Tribal Land Suit of 1976-1979 will undoubtedly <br /> be the most significant historic event in Mashpee 's history. It brought <br /> Mashpee a Nation-wide recognition and the present land development now <br /> going on in Mashpee is a direct result of this . I would hope that any <br /> Historic Commission in the future would begir�g to assemble all material <br /> and news items pertinent to the suit fof the Towns ' historic archives. <br /> I have enjoyed working with Mrs. Selander and Mr Hicks on this <br /> commission and wish them and Mr. Mills well <br /> in their endeavors. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> C),1 <br /> 4 oe", <br /> RECEIVED C <br /> MAY 6 18 <br />
