Ins. on He also discussed the matter with Mr. Carroll who advised Tax Title him that there will be not more than one-half dozen Property pieces.of property being taken by the Town which will have buildings on them. Mr. Merriam felt that it would be better to have one policy on all of the buildings. A separate policy for each piece of property will cost a minimum of $5.00 each. However, if the policies are all merged into one, there will be a saving. Mr. Sheldon moved that a minimum policy at a cost of 45.00 be approved, and that the property at Lot 69, Sylvia Street, Lexington, be insured for $300.00. W. Serrano seconded the motion, and it was so voted. Mr. Paxton stated that he received a report from the National Appraisal Company which was sent to Mr. Hill.. They believe that a supplementary appraisal covering the Appraisal buildings would serve the purpose. They would inspect of each building and make a typewritten report of any changes Buildings. to the property since the date of the original appraisal and furnish new summary sheets and recapitulation. A report of this type would cost approximately $600.00. A detailed report covering the furnishings, similar to 1935, would coat $750.00.
