oil Dr. Cosgrove said he was in favor Of staying with the same amount as last year which Was $859. He said he c uld not agree t.c the $17,870 dollars requested.. 1 would really like to stey with last years figure and let the Town Meeting Men- bers take it from there. Dr. Ellicott said he was in favor of recommending about $12,000 dollars which would allow for a cost of living raise and also pay for additonal_ staff hours. Mr. Lambie said he did not know how effective the Clinic was and he agreed that it was an expensive service but he did not feel that he wanted to cut the budget request this year. He asked to see the copies of the letters from the other Board of Health from the surrounding towns using the clinic. Dr. Cosgrove pointed out that the letters Mrs. Welch filed with us are from Boards of Health not the finance committees or appropriation committees of the Towns, therefore, there is no proof that the other towns will give them the full amount they are asking for. After my meeting with the selectmen I would say neither the selectmen or the appropriation com- mittee will go along with the full amount. Mr. Lambie said we could not prove that the clinic was being run inefficiently and he did not want to do anything to destroy the organization. He said he would recommend the full amount but with strings attached such as payment be made contingent on the audit and the services rendered by explained in more detail. He went on to say that this year a better underttanding should be developed with the clinic no that another year we would clearly understand what was needed.
