Mr. Paxton said that Masucco's claim amounted to „29.87 and Fleming's claim amounted to „19.00. I1r. Potter moved that Mr. Paxton be authorized to settle the claim of Edward J.

Mr. Sheldon seconded the motion, and it was so voted. The Chairman said that last week the Board voted to request a transfer from the Reserve Fund to the Highway Maintenance Account in the amount of „175.00 for settlement of the George Rogers' eminent domain case pending against the Town. He informed the Board that he had instructed the Clerk to have this claim paid from the Highway Main- tenance Account without asking for a transfer from the 'eserve Fund, but Mr. Paxton did not approve of this item being paid from the Highway Maintenance Account inasmuch as this money was not provided for in that account and the ap- propriation this year was less than in former years. The hairman asked Mr. Paxton to what account he thought this claim should be charged and he replied that it would seem that the proper account would be the Legal Department Expenses Account. 1
