Apathy Leads to Sparse Turnout at Manchester Hearing
In Manchester, only three voters attended a Monday night public hearing on five warning articles for a November 5 town meeting. Town officials noted apathy as residents would vote at the general election, deciding on projects including a town garage, sewer extensions, a rescue truck, and purchase of a 66 acre tract near Route 30. The town will also consider a Civil Defense and Rescue Squad funding split and routine payment terms. Trout Unlimited’s Manchester chapter reorganization meeting precedes the hearing with details for attendees at 7:45 p.m. October 22 at the Orvis Co. store.
