We did not know what kind of <br /> a problem we were going to run into. <br /> Chairman stated that it had to be handled in the way it was . Both <br /> Mr. Martini and Mrs. Anderson went out and tried to find people . <br /> The only person that we could get to drop everthing right then and <br /> come was Mr. Penini . This was an emergency situation. <br /> Nancy stated that there were people in Town that are qualified to <br /> do the work and would have at least like to have been extended the <br /> courtesy of a call. <br /> Selectman Thomas stated that calls were placed to Mills , Jacobson <br /> and from there it was who were we going to get. Mrs. Anderson <br /> knew where this man was working, and they went down there to see if <br /> he could come. <br /> is <br /> Chairman stated that he did not see anything wrong in the procedures <br /> that were used. <br />
