Restore the historic clock in the tower of the First Church in Belmont Unitarian Universalist (FCBUU) so that it will be tell the correct time and the bell will ring on the hour.  The clock tower of the First Church in Belmont is a central feature in Belmont center (Fig 1). It stands adjacent to the town green with Its magnificent copper beach tree and its welcoming Wellington train station structure. The tower is a gorgeous example of the European provincial architecture that was Increasing in popularity in our country in the late 1800's. The clock recalls a time before the availability of personal timepieces when town leaders Installed a clock in the most prominent building in the town center so everyone would know the time. Visitors and residents of Belmont should see the correct time on this tower clock when they drive into the center. It is an important statement of the sense of stewardship that we feel toward the town history.
