Mollo-Christensen resigned as a Town Meeting Member from Precinct Three (10 Barberry Road) effective as of January 18, 1974. It would now be in order to fill this vacancy by the person who received the highest number of votes as a defeated candidate for the office of town meeting member in Precinct Three at the March 5, 1973 Annual Town Election. A tie exists in this next position between John P. Carroll, 31 Allen Street and William J. Manning, 20 Spring Street, both having received 219 votes. In order to break this tie to fill said vacancy, in accordance with our Representative Town Meeting Act, it would be necessary for the Town Clerk to call a special meeting of the town meeting members from Precinct Three for the purpose of so filling the vacancy from those having the tie votes and shall cause to be mailed to every such town meeting member, not less than seven days before the time set for the meeting, a notice specifying the object, time and place of the meeting. Monday, January 21, 1974, is the final date for incumbent town meeting members to file for candidacy for the 1974 Annual Town Election. After discussion with Norman P. Cohen, Town Counsel and Lilah H. Groisser, Chairman, Precinct Three Town Meeting Members, it was decided, that as there would not be any town meetings prior to the 1974 town election and that the member filling the vacancy would not be able to run as an imcumbent town meeting member in March 1974, that this vacancy would not be filled at this time. 41. /W40 Mary R.
