Town Council Special Meeting Minutes Reflect Election Canvass
The Town Council held a Friday evening special meeting with full board present. The elector list for the June constitutional amendment election was canvassed, with twenty one names erased for lacking naturalization papers, fourteen for deaths, one for residency duration, one for age, and three for non-resident status. The council approved the lists and signed them, and various items including a reduced bill for Joseph Buffum on a stone crusher project, liquor license considerations, wharf building plans, police enforcement actions, and road transfers were discussed. The Pappoosesquaw road petition was withdrawn but land donation offers were accepted for a public highway under stated conditions. Other matters included water supply at a fountain, diamond sod removal on the common, hydrant engine house movements, fire engine repairs bids, uniforms for fire engineers, and chair purchases for the Hydraulion Engine House.
