SELECTMEN'S MEETING May 5, 1947 A regular meeting of the Board of Selectmen was held in the Selectmen's Room., Town Office Building, on May 5, 1947. Charman Paxton, Messrs. Locke, Emery and Gay were present. The Clerk was also present. At X7:30 p.m. Mr. Alan Adams met with the Board and said that he had two questions he would like to ask and would like permission to give them some publicity in the paper. 1. What does the Board of Selectmen intend to do about a special election? 2. When does the Board intend to hold the drawing of the Hill and Cedar Street lots? 333 Alan Adams. Re: Special Election and Drawing Of Lots The Chairman explained that the Board of Selectmen voted not to do anything at the present time about a special election. He explained that the Board anticipates a special town meeting in the fall at which time an election could be held. He said that the Selectmen do not want to go into the Budget period without a full board but they do not believe a special election should be held during the summer months. The Chairman informed Mr. Adams that the Committee on the Veteran's lots submitted a report to the Board and also discussed it with the Board. He explained that the Engineer- ing Department was working on a definite layout of the lots because of the fact that the plan drawn by the Committee was merely a study plan. The Chairman explained that the board expects the Engineering Department to have the plan completed the latter part of May. The Town counsel will thea have to be consulted relative to some of the suggestions made by the Committee to dee whether or not they can be legally incorporated in deeds. The Chairman explained that the earliest possible date for the drawing would probably be the latter part of June. Mr. Adams retired at 7:35 p.m. The Clerk was instructed to inform Mr. Adams that the Board expects that there will be school problems and other questions that will necessitate an early fall town meeting and the Board is of the opinion that at that time the vacancy in the Board of Selectmen` should be filled by special election.
