to vacation pay for Mr. Haddon. As Mr.~ Haddon had been

reason for giving him any vacation pay. The proposition
was later discussed, and Chairman Severing stated that he
would attempt to ascertain the feeling of the Town in the
matter, and report at the next meeting.
Mr..Gardner Russell was present to duscuss the sale
the MacKay property to the Town. The site comprises appro~
imately 1~ acres bounded by ~ain Street, New Lane, North
Liberty Street and~Brush Lane. He stated that he thought
a fair price would be about $2,000.00 an acre. As the
site might be d~sirable for school purposes, a hospital or
used for~Veterans' Housing, the Bo~rd took the matter unde~
advisement and Mr. Gardner Russell stated that no attempt
would be made to sell the property until the annual Town
Meeting considered the matter.
