West who served as selectmanfrom 1938 to 1961. During Mr. West's tenure as selectman. Canterbury Road was upgraded and tarred, Pine Blister Rust was constantly battled, the Town Hall was moved and put on a foundation, the Fire Department was expanded and modernized, and the Library grew and flourished. During his 24 years, the selectmen's responsibilities grew as the budget increased from $23,666 to $101,946. Mr. West's service and dedication are greatly appreciated. On June 24th, three tax sales were held with the assistance of Mr. John French, auctioneer. The properties were sold at absolute auction, and $95,300 was deposited in the generalfund to help offset taxes. After much discussion and deliberation, the selectmen decided to install a bulk gasoline tank so that the various departments could be more conveniently and economically served. We've estimated that approximately $660 has been saved since its installation. The Selectmen realize that property appraisals are high compared to the current market value, however, the benefits of a reappraisal would be quite small compared to the cost to revalue, and we have decided to keep our current appraisals for the present. Several fire code violations have been discovered in the office area of the Grange Hall. With assistance and advice from the Fire Department, we are inthe process of rectifying them. The septic problem addressed at last year's Town Meeting has not been resolved in spite of some "hands on" and "feet in" investigation by our Health Officer and Selectmen. We've also received some testing and investigation from the State, however, the State has refused toget involved further, and we have initiated legal actionwhich,we are sure, will bring a solution to the problem, eventually. The Selectmen would like to express their thanks and appreciation to Shirley Mardenfor his 40 years of Bean Hole beans at our Old Home Days. The Board wishes to thank the officers, appointed committees and volunteers for their time and effort toward the betterment of our Town.
