TREASURER/TAX COLLECTOR REPORT:  Voted (2-0) not to pay for tax collector’s mileage from her new home. 

 

PUBLIC BUSINESS:    Tobey asked why the water level at Walker Pond was down.  Once or twice a year the dams are raised to circulate the water.  They are put back after a day or so.  They are back now.  The pond biologist reports that the pond is looking good from his tests.

 

OLD BUSINESS:  Signed the Municipal Valuation Return prepared by the assessor’s agent.  Will wait for Davis to look it over and sign before mailing to the state.

NEW BUSINESS:  Grindal will check about getting permission to build a turn-around on the end of Pertville Road for the schoolbus.

            Road Commissioner Carter will replace a culvert on the Rural Cemetery end of the Old County Road.
