Council Studying New 1000
Gallon Fire Truck For Town
New Location
Picked For
Town Dump

The town uncil Waded
through a variety of business at
its regular meeting Tuesday
night. ranging from the mayors
salary to a new town fire truck
and back to the town garbage
dump.
]. H. Forbes. chairman of the
fire department committee. re-
ported that a representative of
the LaFrance fire truck COM
pany had been over the entire
program with a committee from
the fire department and a
recommendation would be made
soon on the specifications for a
new fire truck.
He said they are considering
a 1000 gallon truck, very SINH
lar to the new county truck
which is a $50 gallon unit. 1T
will take about six months to
get delivery on the new unit,
once we have completed the
specifications, etc." Forbes adj
vised.
The mayors salary was re-
duced from 81 200 a year to $500
a year, as recommended by a
committee investigating the pos
Sibility of having a separate
trial justice to hold the mayors
court. The com m tee also
recommended that the sum of
$500 be budgeted for the coming
year for a trial justice. If the
major continues to conduct the
mayors court. then he will re-
ceive the same salary as he has
in the past.
One of the reasons for the
change was in the event that
the mayor might not be law
yer, in which case, a separate
trial justice would be needed.
This situation does not appear
likely for the next four years,
as incumbent mayor William F..
Watkins. Jr., is unopposed in
the coming election.
Permission was granted the
General Service Administration
to build a 12O' tall tower behind
the present post office building,
which will soon be converted to
a federal office building. The
tower apparently will be used in
connection with a civil defense
network. O Ter contemplated
changes at the post office build
ing include removing the hedge
along High St. and closing the
exit on High St.
Move Dump
The town dump will be moved
as soon as feasible, according
to Mayor Watkins. The new To-
cation of the sanitary fill dump
will be at the extreme north end
OF the airport property. 1T
should take care of our needs
for the next 1920 years." T. w.
Bloomfield, town manager, ad-
vised. The town property COM
mittee, which has investigated
the location, agreed that the To-
cation would be far enough
away so smoke will not be a
problem.
Considerable work will have
to be done BY the town force to
make the dump accessible. so
no date was estimated when
the dump would be put in use.
Following up request for
improvements to Watkins Street,
the council heard a report from
the street committee, suggesting
that survey should be run to
determine the right of way, and
a cost study be made on the
