A regular meeting of the Board of Selectmen waa held in.the Selectmen's Romp, Town Office Building, on Monday evening, February 19, 1945 at 7:30 P.M. The members were notified of this meeting by a notice mailed on February 15, 1945. Chairman Locke, Meaers. Rowse, Sarano and Sheldon were present. The Clerk was also present. At 7:30 P.M. Mra. Mary Casey, Temporary Agent for of the Board of Public Welfare, appeared before the Board relative to the salary of Mise Katherine Crosby, Junior Clerk and Stenographer in the Welfare Department. Mrs. Casey said that she had talked with Miss Richardson, Assistant to the Director of Civil Service who advised her that the new salary schedule, which has not been adopted by the Board of Public Welfare, has nothing to do with the present group in that office. Mrs. Casey said that it is allowable to make step -rate increases over the maximum if the person doing the work is worthy of it. Mr. Rowse explained to Mrs. Casey that the Board was merely trying to line up the Public Welfare Office with the other offices in the Town, and stated that Miss Mitchell is a Senior Clerk, where Miss Crosby is a Junior Clerk. The Senior Clerk's maximum at the present time is *27.00, plus the bonus, and inasmuch as Miss Mitchell is receiving only *25.00 she has not reached the maximum. Mr. Rowse stated that as far as Mies Crosby is concerned, with the bonus her salary would be above the requiremente.of the Civil Service. Mrs. Casey slid that, in her opinion, the Junior Clerk is doing more important work than the Senior Clerk, The Chairman asked if the maximum of 41,380.00 for the Junior Clerk is allowable, and Mrs. Casey replied in the affirmative. This is, however, greater than the present maximum of the Junior Clerk. Mra. Casey stated that the new rate is $1,020.00 to $1,380.00 for the Junior Clerk & Stenographer. She stated that the Town would not be accepting the entire schedule by accepting this salary for Miss Crosby. Mrs. Casey retired at 8:02 P.M., and Mr. Paxton appeared before the Board. Mr. Paxton informed the Board that he had received a bill from Clifford E. Wilder. He said that evidently there were ten men who dug out Winter Street, and felt that they should be paid. He said that theyworked for six hours at 41.00 an hour, making a total of 60.00. 1 1
