to enter upon said land at any and all times for the purpose of keeping
the spring and the pipe line thereto in repair, and for the further pur-
pose of protecting said spring from pollution and depredation.

The party of the second part buys said land expressly subject to

record in the above mentioned clerk’s office in deed book one hundred
and ninety-one, page one hundred and seventy-nine, to which reference

sary to the proper and legal transfer of title to said land.
