1s Storm Emergency - Cemetery Dept. Use of Hall SELECTMENtS MELTING JAN. 16, 1939 A regular meeting of the Board of Selectmen was held in the Selectmen's Room, Town Office Building, at 7:30 P. M. Chairman Giroux, Messrs. Potter, Ross, Clark and Rowse were present. The Clerk was also present. Mr. Edward Wood appeared before the Board to discuss the Cemetery Commissioner's appropriation for Storm Emergency works. He said that they had done very little for cleaning up so far and did not know whether or not the Selectmen would allow any money for replacement of trees blown down. The Chairman said that what the Board wanted to do was to stop the spending of any money in excess of what was included in the Storm Emergency appropriation. He said that if additional money was needed, it would have to be asked for later on. Mr. Rowse asked if they had cleaned all the broken stuff up and he said that work had not been all completed. The Chairman suggested that Mr. Wood confer with Mr. Russell and find out how much money the Cemetery Commissioners had left and then to do only as much work as there was money enough to pay for. Mr. Wood agreed to do this and retired. Mr. Raymond appeared before the Board. He said that the Lexington Drum Corps had requested the use of Cary Memorial Hall on February 3rd for the purpose of holding an entertainment to defray the expenses of the Corps.
