It is made a part of the consideration of this conveyance that the said grantor
reserves to himself, his heirs and assigns, the rights, in common with others to cross
and recross said rights of way at all times and for all purposes from Surfside Avenue afore-
said, to the beach or ocean, and to the Fresh Pond aforesaid, and mindful of the rights
and privileges of the property owners in said Fire District to cross and recross said
premises that the said Quonsetogue Central Beach Fire District accepts said rights of way
with the understanding that same are to be and remain the property of said Fire District and
no right of way or portion thereof shall be conveyed at any time.
WHEREAS in certain deeds of conveyance made by this grantor to various grantees
conveying property now lying within the Quonsetogue Central Beach Fire District a clause in said
deeds reads as follows: "The said grantee, for himself or herself, his or her heirs and
assigns hereby covenant to and with the said grantor, his heirs and assigns, that the said
grantee, his or her heirs and assigns, will shall pay to the said grantor, his heirs or
assigns on or before the first day of August in each year hereafter the sum of five (5)
Dollars for each lot hereby conveyed said sum to be expended and applied by the said grantor,
his heirs and assigns in his and their unrestricted discretion to the care and maintenance
of the roads and other portions that may be designated for public use, and the summa agreed
to be paid are made hereby a lien and charge upon the premises hereby conveyed and in case
of failure to make any payment within one year after the same shall become due it shall be
lawful for the grantor, his heirs and assigns to sell and convey the premises at public
auction, first giving notice of such sale in some newspaper published in said County of Jam-
ington at least once each week for three successive weeks, and to become the purchaser or
purchasers of said sale;" NOW therefore, for consideration aforesaid, I, the said grantor,
hereby assign to said Quonsetogue Central Beach Fire District all my rights and privileges
as expressed in said clause in said deeds, reserving however to my grantor and his heirs the
exemption of that parcel of real estate as shown on said plat and generally known and spoken
of as the Parchouse property, and reserving from the special maintenance fee of Five Dollars
year as hereinbefore mentioned to the said grantor and his heirs any other lots which he owns
abutting the private roads in said Fire District so long as such other lots remain unsold and
commercially unimproved, and in lieu of this exemption said Howard S. Thorp, his heirs or
page 3
executors will pay to the said fire District an annual fee of Twenty-five (25) Dollars so long
as five (5) or more lots fronting on said private roads within said Fire District remain unsold,
and, as soon as any of the lots shall be sold or commercially improved such lots as are sold
or commercially improved shall take the same standing in said District as any other lot, and the
said grantor agrees that if the property referred to as the Farmhouse property is sold in one
parcel it will carry a reservation in the deed that said premises shall be used for residential
purposes and not more than three residences shall be permitted on said premises, this reservation
to remain in force for a period of twenty (20) years from the date of deed; and said grantor
agrees that if and when any lots not now platted shall be developed fronting on any of the private
roads in said Fire District now built or to be built, said lots will carry the same covenants,
reservations and restrictions as are in other deeds to lots already sold in said Fire District.
WHEREAS in certain deeds of conveyance made by said grantor to various grantees conveying
property now lying within the Quoonontaug Central Beach Fire District, a clause in said deeds reads
deeds reads as follows: "In case of a contemplated sale of maid lot or parcel of land or any
part thereof, said grantor, his heirs or assigns, shall be given ten days' notice in writing and
shall have the first option to purchase the same with the building and improvements thereon at the
highest bona fide price in good faith made and actually offered to the said grantees, or his or
her heirs or assigns." NOW therefore it being the intent of this clause to restrict the owners of the
property in this Fire District to a class of people, regardless of creed or nationality, who night
seem to be desirable parties, and, WHEREAS, it may be to advantageous to secure the cooperation of
said Quoonontaug Central Beach Fire District in carrying out this desire, NOW therefore, be it
understood that this grantor, his heirs or executors may submit any question of policy on the mat-
ter aforesaid to the Public Works Committee of said Grantee as the same is now constituted or may
hereafter be constituted and a majority of them are hereby authorized to rep-
resent said Fire District in making a decision under the clause as expressed in said deeds.
WHEREAS in certain deeds of conveyances made by this Grantor to various grantees conveying
property now lying within the Quoonontaug Central Beach Fire District, a clause in said deeds reads
as follows: "The grantor, his heirs and assigns, reserve the right to enter upon the above de-
scribed and conveyed premises to lay any pipe outlets or pipes, or to repair the same, always leav-
ing the premises in as good condition as when entered." NOW therefore, whereas the Quoonontaug
Central Beach Fire District is about to take control of the water supply for said Quoonontaug
Central Beach Fire District, and to own the pipes, wells, pumps and equipment, therefore, because
of this transfer of ownership I hereby assign any right or privilege which I may have or of right
ought to have, because of said reservation in said deeds, to the said Quoonontaug Central Beach
Fire District.
