to set a date for this celebration.

Dick Michelson reported the Historic Districts Conmision will
meet on December 1st to review the placing of a plaque by the
Jaycees in commemoration of this occasion. Mr Broderick
suggested this might be an excellent time to advise increasing
the footing on the flagpole, since the pole itself is so
large. The present plaque on the footing is 18" x 16i" The
Jaycees would have their plaque identical in size If the
footing were increased, the tyro plaques could be set side by
side
NOTE This committee will meet on November 11th at 8 p.m. in
the Selectmen's office.
