Scope and Contents

At a meeting today, Dupre gave the trustees an account of the expenditures and revenue of the fabrique. They were convinced that it would be impossible to cover the expenses with the ordinary receipts. They decided unanimously that in the future the sale of the pews and graves would belong exclusively to the fabrique except an annual allocation of 150 piastres to pay the wages of a servant or a grave digger. In the same resolution they renounced the portion allowed the fabrique out of Desgaultier's fees by a motion on March 9, 1814. The trustees thought that by allowing him the entire fees it would give him an advantage. A.L.S. French 3pp. 4to. Enclosure:
