MARDEN, Justice.
This is a complaint seeking the construction of certain portions of the Will of Mary J. E. Clapp as those portions pertain to the duration of a testamentary trust and the authority of trustees thereunder in two respects, (a) the authority of the trustees to create a leasehold extending beyond the life of the trust, and (b) the authority of the trustees to create from income a reserve for depreciation and obsolescence.
