Sense over Sound!
I had to look up what the quote about "Sense being preferable to sound" on the statute base was referring to.
This is from Wikiepedia:
"It was hoped that Benjamin Franklin would donate a bell for a church steeple in the town, but donated 116 books instead, beginning a debate over who should be allowed access to these books. On November 20, 1790, it was decided that the volumes would be lent to the residents of Franklin for free via its library, which has been in operation since then. "
In a nutshell, they got books (sense) instead of a bell (sound). Now I know!
