Letter was received from Jay 0. Richards withreference to the bill of $179.18 which he owes the Town for a sewer service. He stated that if the Board would help him by allowing him to renew the insurance policy which he has placed for the Town for some years, he would be able to start paying on the bill. He stated that renewal of the compensation insurance which will expire on Sept. lst would enable him to pay at least $100* and probably more. Mr. Ferguson and Mr. Potter felt that they would be willing to give him business if he would agree to pay the bill in full and voted to write him to this effect. Richards on Insurance.
