4) Arthur Anderson had questions about his taxes and also his son’s taxes. The selectmen will check into the matter.
5) Road commissioner discussed the roads and will set a priority list for work to be done. He was asked and agreed to survey each road and make a written assessment of what needs to be done and set a priority list. He also has been given papers to describe the work done to each road so we will have a record of what has been done to each road and when it got done. This will help when we have to make out papers not only for FEMA and MEMA but if we should apply for grant money for road work also.
6) There has been another complaint about Robert Gray’s propane distribution area on Rt 15. The Code Enforcement Officer will be asked to check into this problem.
