Arlington-Eleven vote to dissolve Fire and Light District No 1
Eleven residents voted to dissolve the Arlington Fire and Light District No 1 and transfer assets and liabilities to the town after a March Town Meeting decision. Receipts for 1973 were $20,464 with expenses of $16,330. The district maintained the Arlington Volunteer Fire Department serving a broader area. Asset inventory for the fire company, including Sunderland and Sandgate volunteers, stood at $56,000. John Moore was named transfer agent. A firemen committee will meet Oct. 28 with selectmen to apportion assets. November meetings will determine who remains on the tax rolls. Dissolution will shift costs between in-district and out-of-district residents. The district formed Feb 3, 1925. Three of the original 20 signers survive. Frances King has been treasurer 33 years. The late R Emmet Smith served as clerk 42 years, succeeded by Edith, current town clerk.
