Y flay 21, 1953 Mr. George E. Blean City Clerk City Hall Ithaca., New York Dear George, In reviewing the minutes of the last regular meeting of the Stewart Park Comnsssion, you stated that I had reported that `15,000.00 of the "lower type coupon bond," had been converted into "higher income bonds". That is nct an accurate statement. The minutes should note tha.l- I reported that we had ccnverted $15,000.00 of "low coupon bonds' into "higher income common stock." I don't like to be on record as being so far off in my estimate of the total value of the fund. My recollection is that I was very careful to state that ml estimates were completely off the record and I would prefer to have the record show the Ee stimate to be in the neighborhood of 95,000.00. Otherwise the report seems to be in very good order. Sincerely yours, C. E. Treman, Jr. CET/emp I PgasokLAL. coulpa-TipL Re: Stewart Park Fund Legal opinion from former 'D Supreme Court Judge A. E, Gold, March 31 , 1954 I do not see how any legal effect can be Eiven to the action of the Park Commission or Common Council In decidin..; with the ap-.proval of the Council that the principal of the trust fund be held beyono the 10 year period. The 4111 in my opinion provides otherwise and it is the Will which Is controlling. Granted that the Park Commission and the Council represent ' the people of the City, who may be regarded in a practical sense as the beneficiaries of the trust, this still does not authorize the Trustee to adopt a Position with res0ect to the trust which is contrary to the Provisions of the �,Ali Mr. Stewart had a,-rllz,4t to direct In the Will when the principal of the truErf fund"Was to be used -and, in my o-oinjon, it was and still I the du of the Trustee to carry out his direction. The T;zstee is �Vthout legal right to change the Will in this resptct even w h the consent of the Commission and the Council. There a.i.,e special- -rules of law 4pplicable to charitable trusts of this nature which autliorj/zO the Courts to alter the provisions of a trust when the clrb km' stances have so changed since the establishment of the trust s " I to ma le it impracticable or impossible to comply literal it' vi-Ith, it is terms . However, no ap?lication for such a change has been made here, and I doubt whether such an application would be granted since nothing appears, a -- s far as I c--,in see, which woujc�, lnake It impracticable or impossible to carry out Mr. Stewart's' direction.

One thing for sure, I have brought the Stewart Park Trust Fund to the attention of the court which had not been done voluntarily by the Ithaca Trust Company for over 30 years. When I began to criticize the handling of the Stewart Trust Fund nearly 2 years ago it was only with one purpose in mind and that is to have the Ithaca Trust Company follow out the direction and the Will of Edwin C. Stewart in the best interest of the people of the City of Ithaca for whom the money was left. I had no intention at any time to embarrass the Bank except to bring the matter before the proper court for an interpretation of Edwin C. Stewart 'Jill, particularly paragraph 18: "EIGHTEENTH: From the balance of my estate at the death of my wife I give unto the Ithaca Trust Company, of Ithaca, New York, IN TRUST NEVER THELESS, all the rest, residue and remainder of my estate, to invest and re-invest as it deems for the best interest of this Trust, thA interest to be paid semi annually for a pPriod of ten nears, for the improvement of Renwick Park, at Ithaca, New York And at the end of said ten years the balance of my estate not hereinbefore specifically expanded or otherwise trusteed. I direct to be expended for the permanent improvement of said Renwick Park, under the direction of the Directors of the Ithaca Trust Company, as they, in their judgment shall deem best." That has been accomplished and the money now from the Stewart Trust Fund is flowing much freer to Stewart Park in the best interest of all the people which was the intent and purpose of EdvYin C. Stewart's Will. The income to the City or the monies paid to the City for Stewart Park by the Ithaca Trust Company over the last 14 years from 1941 to 1954 averaged less than $2300 a year but since my bringing this matter to the attention of the court, especially within the last 8 months the Ithaca Trust Company has already turned over to the City approximately $15,000, and we now have a further committment, that within the next 6 months the Ithaca Trust Company will turn over to the City approximately $15,000 more for construction and the remodeling of Ithaca Golf Course Club House, which means that we are mak- ing lots of headway in quick time. Let's say I lost but the people won. I have known Judge Norman Stagg for a great many years and have always known him to be a very fair minded person with good legal judgment and if his decision is that there is no need for my intervention, I respect his de- cision and do not intend to appeal. Tile the court made no reference to the 'mill, Trust or paragraph 18, in his decision, apparently the funds are now going to be used as the 'Till Intended it should be for permanent improvements in Stewart Park and its holdings in the best interest of the whole community. As pointed out , in the last 14 years payments to the City out of the Stewart Trust Fund for the permanent improvement of the Park averaged less than $2300 a year. Now within a year or 14 months the City will receive approximately $30,000 from the Trust Fund for permanent improvement of Stewart Park for the enjoyment of the people in this community now, not 200 years from now, so my intervention in this matter paid full dividends and I am perfectly satisfied.

STEWART PARK COMMISSION PROCEEDINGS CITY OF ITHACA, N.Y. regular Meeting 4:30 p.m. September 1, 1964 PRESENT: Chairman - A.H. Treman Commissioners - C.E. Truman, Burns, Rogalsky, Johns, Leary Superintendent of Public Works - Laverty City Engineer - Melchen City Forester - Baker Clerk - Blean MINUTES: Minutes of the last regular meeting were duly approved. 1964 IMPROVIWENTS: At the request of the Chairman, Superintendent Laverty reviewed the work done on improvement projects at the park for 1964 which were approved at the last meeting. He stated he was pleased with the condition of the park at this time and invited members of the Commission to make an inspection thereof. DREDGING AT BATHING BRACH: Chairman Treman announced he had called this meeting at the request of the Board of Public Works to reconsider a pro- posed project to dredge the swimming area at the park. Superintendent Laverty reported that an application made to the State of New York for an underwater land grant in the matter had been refused but instead a license had been approved for the proposed dredging with the understanding that the spoil dredged from the area be deposited out in deep waters of the lake. He stated that the Board wished to consult with the Commission before accepting the license for this work. Chairman Treman expressed his opinion that additional efforts should be made to get the State to change its mind in regard to the proposed "Island" for which the underwater land grant was requested. lie felt it may have been re- fused on recommendations of the Conservation Department and recoramended that further action be deferred until he could make further inquiries regarding the State's refusal of the grant. Engineer Melchen reviewed the original proposal to dredge an area of the swimming beach of approximately 300' x 400' to a depth of about 80. He doubted how successful the project would be, especILally without the proposed "Island" to serve as a buffer. He suggested that a test hole about 50 x 50 be dug to see what the results will be. By Comm. Burns: seconded by Comm. Leary RESOLVED, that further action on this matter be deferred at this time; and that Chairman Treman be authorized to negotiate with any State Officials concerned with the granting of the underwater land grant in an effort to have it approved for the City.
