- 3 r transferred from the Reserve Fund to the Sealer of Weights and Measures F,xpenses Account to take care of the automobile allowance for the remainder of the year 1945. The next request considered was the request of t'138.96 from the Reserve Fund to the Printing Town Report Account. Tt Is stated that this transfer is necessary due to the fact that the Town Report required more pages than Mr. Adams thought necessary when he submittedhis bid. The bill amounted to 1, 038.96. After a general discussion, George M. Hynes made a motion, seconded by Michael J. 7Topkins and voted that $138.96 be transferred from the Reserve Fund to the Printing Town Report Account. Jasper A. Lane then spoke informally to Chairman Lewis T . Hoyt and the members with reference to What infor- mation he had received on Insurance. At a previous meeting of the Appropriation Committee, Jasper Lane and Michael J. Fonkins were appointed to look into Insurance. V!r. Lane had received several letters from Mutual Companies w' th regards to Municipal Insurance, and stated that most of the Municipalities who have Mutual Insurance have a non-assessable clause included In the Policies so that the Municipalities will not be further assessed beyond the premiums paid. Mr. Lane had a number of towns listed who at the present time have either all Mutual Insurance or a portion of mutual Insurance . Mr. Hopkins spoke about Insurance as well, and stated at the present time he is with a stock Company, but previously had worked for three Mutual Companies. He advised that if the Town took the Insurance with Mutual Companies, they should not take all. Tn other words, they should have a portion mutual and a portion in stock companies. Chairman Lewis L. Hoyt then spoke about the request from the Boa °d of Selectmen on April 25, 1945, asking for a transfer of ?"600.00 from the Reserve Fund to pay for the expense of an appraisal of Torn Property, as the last ap- praisal was made in 1935, and the Board feels very strongly that a reappraisal should be made at this time. Mr. Hoyt stated that he had talked to several men with regards to re- appraising property at this time and the feeling was that an appraisal should be made. Frorever, the majority of this Committee felt that a request for $600.00 from the Reserve Fund cannot be considered as an emergency or unforeseen matter. As a result the entire Committee was In favor of holding this item over to the next Town Meeting and to so advise the Board of Selectmen. The meeting adjourned at 9 :35 P.M. Respectfully submitted, R.) 62dr-Y\ 0-Y\ cf,..° Secretary.
