Eugene Garrett and Allan Crossman talked about recycling. They stated the transfer station now separates but we could get money for the material, especially cardboard and paper. Plastic would require a machine costing approximately $7,000 to crush; that may be obtained with a grant.

Selectmen read the letter from Steve Davis who has agreed to facilitate a meeting with the Selectmen and the School Board. Selectmen will respond with a letter answering questions asked.

Francis objected to his abatement denial because he said that wells and septic tanks are not equal and should be appraised differently - He will take it to BTLA.

Selectmen signed letters to Francis Muzzey, Mr. & Mrs. John Thompson, and Werner/Swartz.

Kenyon asked if the road agent could fill in with gravel near the culvert on his driveway. He said a granite post was damaged and broken by a snow plow and wants to know if it can be repaired. Palmer said it might be fixed with mortar but would not be as strong.

Selectmen appointed Randy Comsteller as cemetery trustee for one year.

Patrolman Don Jones suggested two stop signs and a yield sign at the intersection of East Side Rd and Red Oak Hill (has stop sign). Selectmen suggested the police continue their patrol in that area.
