Dorset Will Still Plow Drives But at Increased Rate of $5
Manchester board of selectmen debated winter plowing costs and approved continuing a few difficult driveways at an increased rate of five dollars. They would widen Wideawake road easement from Three Maple Drive to West Road and plow a US 7 road near Manchester Center for fire protection, while pursuing legal trail status for a crossroad from Route 30 to West Road to remove maintenance liability. Christopher Swezey chaired the meeting with John Hutton, O.K. Porter, Orrin Beattie, and Ferdinand Bongartz in attendance.
