LEAGUE OF WOMEN Mrs. Feakes explained that the Town Manager Act had been VOTERS in effect for about 4 years and the League felt that it now should be re-evaluated. Mrs. Feakes had a list of questions regarding the effect of the Town Manager form of government and how it may have affected the functions of the Board of Health and the Health Department. The Board answered all the questions and said they felt that the function of the Board had not been affected too much by the Town Manager Act except when the problem of hiring a new Health Officer occurred. They all agreed that if the various Boards could do their own recruiting and interviewing they could then recommend to the Town Manager and he could interview and hire. Theu felt that if this process was followed the positions could be filled much faster.
