Clerks pay clash at Apportionment Board meeting
At a Board of Apportionment session the claim was made that clerk hire at $8 a day is excessive and that all needed clerical help could be bought for $2 a day. Other selectmen doubted that efficient work could be done at that wage and opposed the idea. James Small accused the board of abuse, noting his belief the Apportionment Board should investigate, not attack. The group discussed this year’s budget and agreed five clerks at $3 a day would likely not handle new voter checks and tabulations, with one member voting no while others urged doing the work efficiently.
