206 Amplifying system. was made, he was cut to $50 per week and did not receive anything for his car. He uses his car on Town work from 2500 to 3000 miles each year and he thought that he should be -allowed $200, for the use of it. The Chairman said that he thought the Board of Assessors should decide what Mr. Spencer should .be paid and they should make a recommendation to the Board. He retired. -Mr. Paul Mooney and Mr. Roland Garmon appeared be- fore the Board relative to the purchase of an amplifying system for the Town. Mr. Garmon said that Mr. Garrity was very much interested in the equipment for Park purposes. Mr. Mooney said that he had in mind.a semi- portable amplifying system which was laid out by the engineers in the R.C. A. office. It will cover the Common and the Playground and also can be moved into the Cary Memorial Hall, Mr. Mooney said that with two speaker baffles it will fill -the hall perfectly and will also fill in the dead spots.
