This particular person spoke to the Board of Fire Engineers about some compensat'on, and the Board feels that he should receive something in the way of renumera- tion. George Emery has reason to believe that this person would be satisfied if he received : 100.00 v:aich would make' a very small amount per trip.' The Board of Fire Engineers, before doing anything on this, ranted to let the Appropriation Committee know, and George Emery is - oing to see the Board of Selectmen with regards to this matter later on this evening. Yr. Emery further stated that they had sufficient money in this present Budget to take care of this if it was all right with tl^R s Committee . The members of this Coms1' ttee agreed to the ` 100.00, but the matter rests entirely w' th the Board of Selectmen. If the Board of Selectmen approves same, the Secre,tary of this Committee will see that this person is compensated when a proper voucher is issued.
