Mrs. Battin said that Julian Bussgang had suggested that a compromise Article 59 on funding the golf course acquisition might bring the Board of Selectmen Pine Meadow and the Appropriation Committee together. He proposed an initial payment Golf Course of $250,000 and ten -year bonding. Mrs. Battin asked if the Board, without obligating itself to ten -year financing could support this concept. Mr. Marshall commented that he would not be present Wednesday night but indicated he would accept this if it was acceptable to the Appropriation Committee. Mr. Eddison moved that the Board agree to fund the golf course acquisi- tion by an initial payment of up to $250,000 for purposes of flexibility in dealing with the Appropriation Committee. Mr. Marshall seconded-and asked where the money would come from. The Manager responded that he had been instructed to look for a way of funding Hancock Street on the tax levy and thought he had located a source of funds. This he said could be used for the golf course and Hancock Street could be bonded as originally proposed . He said he was opposed to the acquisition. Mr. McLaughlin said he would not support the motion since he would not support the acquisition. Mr. Sacco concurred. The Board voted 3 to 2 to support Mr. Eddison's motion.
