THE SALTER BEQUEST

By the terms of the will of Mr. Thomas P. Salter, a former New York merchant and member of an old Portsmouth family, the residue of the estate amounting to probably $300,000 is left to Dartmouth College after serving other uses. The will was executed January 3, 1906, and G. Ralph Laighton and Charles F. Shillaber of Portsmouth are named as executors and trustees. A codicil of May 7, 1906, names as executors and trustees Charles F. Shillaber and Harry E. Boynton, and makes this additional bequest at the sister's death: $10,000 to the South, or Unitarian, parish of Portsmouth as the Thomas P. Salter fund. Should any of the corporations named cease to exist, their bequest goes to Dartmouth.
