Town Clerk Earl Wilson noted the quorum normally needed is absent, as citizens prepare for the April 25 gathering to discuss a $6.5 million school and town budget and local improvements.

A male caller warned that a bomb would level Clinton town hall in 15 minutes during President Carter's question session. Police found no device after Secret Service alerted and bomb disposal units searched the area. Air Force dogs detected nothing as officials continued the event. The scare followed a weekend bombing at a nearby manufacturing plant about 10 miles away.
