Trustees of Public Trusts have funds available for welfare and cemetery purposes. They cannot transfer funds unless they receive a request. When they approve a request, the money does not go into Town funds or through the Town budgets, but directly to the person or department applying. It was decided to ask them what funds may be available in 1967-68 and use this information in examining the budgets which are submitted, deducting funds available from this source. Don Grant will talk to Mr. Morey and request that he come tf; to a meetinb with tris Committee. Town Treasurer has resigned. No action has yet been tgken by Selectmen in appointing a treasurer to serve until election. It would take an Act of the Legislature to authorize the appointment rather than the election of Treasurer.
