Town to appoint new solicitor amid tax bill dispute
The Town Council may appoint a new town solicitor after the death of Joseph A Hammill who held the post since 1931. Lucien Capone is rumored willing to take the job but not seek favors. A disputed $11 946.06 bill to the State over sewer repairs from 1931 is on the agenda along with liquor law amendments and bids for gasoline oil and beach concession rights.
