SELECTMEN'S MEETING
March 30, 1966 1
A special Meeting of the Board of Selectmen was
held in the Selectmen's Room, Town Office Building, on
Wednesday evening, March 34
/ at 7:00 P.M. Chair-
man Cole, Messrs. Burnell, Gia .o and Mabee were present.
Mr. Legro, Town Counsel, Mr. Gray, Executive Assistant,
and the Acting Clerk were also present.
Mr. Jules Sussman, Chairman of the Conservation
Commission, met with the Selectmen.
Mr. Sussman stated, first of all, he hoped the
Commission had the support of the Selectmen at least
on the two articles on which it had options, the West
Articles property and the property on Marrett Road. He stated
82 and 83 the Commission had an appointment with the owners of
the property on top of Whipple Hill a week from Monday.
The Board suggested waiting for the June Town Meet-
ing, and if negotiations failed, the Town would take the
property by eminent domain. The only advantage in waiting
would be to get the price down.
Articles 82 and 83 were discussed at length. The
Board agreed to support Article 82.
Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted
to go into Executive Session for the purpose of discussing,
Executive deliberating or voting on matters which, if made public,
Session might adversely affect the public security, the financial
interest of the Town, or the reputation of any person.
Following a discussion with regard to Article 87,
it was voted to resume the open meeting.
With further reference to Article 83, Mr. Mabee
stated if Whipple Hill is voted through, the Board should
take a stand and give Mr. Sussman some real authority;
write him a letter and give him the intentions of the Board.
Mr. Cataldo stated no one has ever questioned the
Commission as to how they negotiated.
The Chairman said that could be done without any
problem.
Mr. Sussman stated he would have to get two appraisals
or Opinions of Value.
Mr. Legro stated he had some questions in connection
with Middleby Road and Laconia Street, and asked why the
motion wasn't under the Betterment Act.
Discussion was held relative to Articles 80, 79 and 76.
Article 80, Indefinite Postponement; Article 79 is O.K.
going along with it; Article 76, Middleby Road.

11 either reject or accept the motion.
Mr. Van T. Boughton, Chairman of the Capital Expendi-
tures Committee, came into the meeting. He questioned
if there was some way that money could be saved on the
streets, and asked how urgent it was to do Kendall Road,
as that would be a saving of $22,500.00.
Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted
to adjourn at 7:55 P.M.
