The main issue of discussion concerned bonding of the Library.
Mr. Zehner feels that a 10 year financing would be his best
recommendation. Mr. Silverman was of the feeling that we should

go for no less than 10 years and no more than 20 years.
Mr. Butters made the point that he felt it was time that
the elderly and people on fixed incomes shoud be helped.
Chairman Furash indicated that his feeling would be to
ask for 15 years on the library and then go short on the
others; i.e . , 15 years library; 5 years sewers.
Mr. Zehner and Capital Expenditures then met with the Board
of Selectmen to discuss the above in further detail.
Meeting adjourned at 9:15 P.M.
Respectfully submitted,
