t <br /> 4 Board of Library Trustees - - October 27 , -1978 { <br /> broadening language , I am constrained to interpret the vote a <br /> being limited to the building alone. Therefore the only proper <br /> usage f this appropriated money was for .building purposes . The <br /> transfer of these funds to the General Funds of :the Town was im- <br /> proper er without Town Meeting vote as, was the subsequent transfer <br /> from the General Funds to the special account entitled "Library <br /> Account- -Town of Mashpee'l . <br /> The deposit of he $,50 . 00. " gift into the sp , ific account <br /> refer-red to above was a proper and valid procedure. Chapter 44 , <br /> Section 3A states that a "t . . .mai accept gr - is o gifts of <br /> funds from the Federal government and from cha rel t ab l e foundation, <br /> private corporation, or an individual * s and. , .1pay. payexpend such <br /> funds for the purposes of such grant or g ft . , .with the approval <br /> of the Board of Selectmen. , .Any amounts - so received by an officer <br /> or department of a . . . town. . . shall be deposite-IJ with the Treasur- <br /> er f such. . . town. . .and held as a separate account and mai be ex- <br /> pended as aforesaid by such officer or departmen,'t receiving the <br /> rant or gift without further appropriation* . no-twithstanding the <br /> provisions of Section 53. 11 <br /> � <br /> Consequently, the separate account r erred to above is <br /> properlyin xi t nce 'and the $50 . 00 together with the accumulated <br /> interest on the sum of $50 , 00 may properly real, in said account. <br /> The balance of the funds in the account should bje transferred t <br /> an account known as the "Library Construction AcCountll.
