Mr. Wertheim, Chairman: The Committee has met and the decision Recreation was to meet with the Selectmen. 1 ask Mr. Gallagher to speak for us. Committee Mr. Gallagher: We would like you to know the priority of soft - Budget ball lights at the Center court playground, and would like to know what we could do to get this article on the warrant. If we had known it would not be on it, it most likely would have been put in as a citizens' article. We spend much time on the capital budget and, in the future, we would like to meet with the Selectmen and the Town Manager on background and arguments for same, and get this information to you for a valid decision. We would certainly like an answer. We think recreation ought to be done by the committee and not by a citi- zens' group. The committee feels it does all the work and priority gets shuffled between transit and the articles in the warrant. Chairman Kenney: You will recognize that our capital requests are obligated to go through ordinary procedure? Mr. Gallagher: Right Chairman Kenney: Presuming it was an article in the warrant, you would ask Town Meeting to appropriate funds for lighting the softball field?
