McQuillin Law of Municipal Corporations

Found this reference in the Salzburg vs Dowd case (http://www.landprotect.com/files/37037360.pdf) on page 25:
McQuillin, The Law of Municipal Corporations 47:17 ("A gift to a municipal corporation for charitable purposes cannot, after the municipality accepts it, be renounced or conveyed away so as to defeat the charity")

and 28:25 ("when the trust is accepted, the municipal corporation assumes the same burdens and is subject to the same regulations that pertain to other trustees.  The duty to administer the donation or charitable fund agreeable to the expressed wish of the donor of testator will be enforced in equity, and, where circumstances warrant such action, the municipal corporation may be removed or replaced as trustee")
