Street Lights 5600 Expenses 360,000 To which the sum of $360,000 in available and anticipated P.L. 96 -604 (General Revenue Sharing Funds) is to be applied. 8 :55 P.M. In response to a concern about energy costs raised by Fred D. Rosenberg, Alfred S. Busa answered that the Selectmen and the D.P.W. have been looking into ways to reduce costs. They have been denying requests for street lights and have a backlog of requests. To Mr. Rosenberg's suggestion that the street lights be turned off at midnight or some such time, Mr. Busa stated that there would not be any savings as the majority of the lights are on a censor. In the past when the lights did not remain on all night, they were on a timer which was located in the D.P.W. building and could be adjusted manually. 8:58 P.M. In answer to a question raised by Sam V. Na.blo, Mr. Busa explained that the town is charged by the light or poll and are charged whether the light is on or off. 9 P.M. Arthur C. Smith questioned the Appropriation Committee in regards to Line Item 45400. William J. Dailey, Jr., Chairman of the Appropria- tion Committee answered that he intended to serve notice of reconsideration of this line item when Article 4 is completed. 9:01 P.M. The Moderator called a brief recess at 9:02 P.M. and reconvened the meeting at 9:05 P.M. William J. Dailey, Jr. moved that Line Item #5400 be divided from Article 4 and stand on it's own.
