Enders of the <br /> Civil Defense were present when our members arrived. <br /> Mr. Burrell spoke and said he did not know what the Civil Defense would do <br /> seeing all articles requested were turned down at the Special Town Meeting. <br /> The Selectmen read Chapter 639 of the Acts of 1950 when Civil Defense <br /> was first organized. <br /> The Civil Defense is under the control of the Board of Selectmen. <br /> Selectman Alan Adams stated that according to the by-laws we have got to <br /> have a Civil Defense. <br /> Harold E. Roeder stated that the Fire Department had approximately 66 or <br /> 70 civilians trained for a fire emergency. <br /> Civil Defense has no medical organization. <br /> The Police Department wants nothing to do with Civil Defense. <br /> Arthur Burrell asked what do you do with Town Government structure.

M. at <br /> which time the Appropriation members left the meeting of the Board of <br /> Selectmen. <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> Raymond L. White <br /> Secretary Pro Tem <br />
