i <br /> cer i g the Conservation Fund, raking a total of $21,000.00, It was pointed <br /> out that the Selectmen were the ones who instigated the Soil Survey. llrs. <br /> Studley hasn't called Mr. Staff yet because she wanted to discuss it with <br /> the Commission first. It seems that Conservation i getting the full br nt� <br /> of the Soil Survey thing and one would think that the Planning Board would <br /> be in on it but they're not. The Planning Board is working on a new ma ter ; <br /> plan for the town, which is a prerequisite for the Soil Survey. The Commis- <br /> sion doesn't want the figure to go in, because it's too high; there should <br /> * be two separate articles. <br /> Mrs. Studley said that a suggestion had been rade that we put in the aar� � <br /> ticle concerning the 5l-acre parcel which had previously been tabled orin- <br /> definitely postponed. The parcel, which is town-vaned, is on Route 28. 1t � <br /> should be put in not as Conservation land, but as a town forest. It is not <br /> money article and it could still go into the warrant. It is a parcel in <br /> which the title is pretty good as far as the town goes, but it's not known <br /> whether or not the voters would go for it in view of the suit. It is also , <br /> not known whether or not we can spend any money to re-forest it. It abuts <br /> two roads, Route 28 and Great Hay Road. <br /> Mr. Pocknett is looking into different grants to re-forest a particular <br /> area. The question is whether or not the tin owns the land. we know that. <br /> some _titles are good, but investigation rust -be done on other parcels, be- <br /> -cause it is not nom if it's a clear title. We still have some money which <br /> e could spend. It was suggested that the Torn Engineer be approach# d. <br /> There's no point in s urve3n ng it until we have a clear title. Alan Eaxim <br /> was going to try to find. ' cheaper way o f+getting a surveyor., but the ot 'ier <br /> Selectmen squelched it. All we needed was three--man crew. but unf tu- <br /> nate ly, its went' down the drain. <br /> Mr. Buckingham said that he would think that the Planning Board and the <br /> Board of Health would Plug as much as they can to get this through; we should <br /> put i t to the Selectmen again and make sure that they go through 10th it this <br /> time. <br /> t was stated that we carpi legally spend t� •,Conservation n oney n a n <br /> 0 <br /> forest. 'his surveying job should be a toxin responsibility, not that f a <br /> committee. We have not asked for any funds for a town forest. The TMIn En- <br /> gineer is under contract to the Planning Board and is paid from Legal and <br /> Engineering Account. It's a part-tire position and he's just paid for his <br /> technical kno:Tledge. <br /> Yr.. 3uckint-han, mentioned that he was just at a meeting and hie and that <br /> CEA could possibly do this. ?text year, we should start right after To-an <br /> lie e ti g talking with Assess ors and Planning Board and al-1 go to the S e l e t- <br /> ien .9ind tell them that. this is something they have to do.
