Warrant No. 3§'totalling $21,346.81'was presented by Town
Accountant Barrett and checked and approved by the Board.
Mr. Tow~ill and Mr. Viers of the Iaiand Sightseeing Tours'
were present and complained about the situation at the Bus
stand on Federal St. it was their.view that the board should
split the two bearths upon a permanent basis with Barrett
having the first berth and they the'second it being.the in-
tention to put'each bus nearest its office. The board took
no action on this request preferring that the present system
whereby the busses rotate stands each day should stay in~
effect as being fairest to both parties. The board also voted
to inform the bus operators that the busses should leave on
schedule and requested that the two operators file with the~
board a schedule of their times of departure.

reference to the coming meeting with the commissioners of

highway resurfaced and also obtain money to remove brush from
the road side and'replace existing guard rails with reinforced
concrete posts.
On the question of bond issue money no decision was reached
although the board felt it might be the best plan to see
how much we could get done on the Polpis road.

a stop street and the Board ~oted~that the matter take its
usual course and authorized the Supt. to erect a atop sign
immideatly pending approval by the state.
