Town explores bigger retirements for town workers
Town selectmen and Town Manager Edward R. Lamb reviewed pay raises for 1973, a new retirement plan, and dissatisfaction with some workers. A new plan offering higher retiree benefits was informally favored, with highway workers slated for a full 0.5 percent increase. Existing plan flaws include a meager 3 monthly benefit, no death benefit, no extra contributions, and low interest. Lamb outlined two alternatives a bank and a mutual funds plan with larger retirement gains and death benefits, noting the insurer options surpass the current plan.
