Page 5 . <br /> Extract from Minutes of January 6 , 1982 <br /> BOARD OF SELECTMEN <br /> • Page 2. <br /> MUSEUM <br /> Mrs . Simpson said she had another concern: an article <br /> that appeared recently in the Falmouth Enterprise <br /> which criticized the Selectmen for not having the <br /> Museum open. (Sel. O 'Connell interjected, "One Select- <br /> man, mainly") <br /> Mrs. Simpson said that reporter should go through the <br /> old minutes of Selectmen' s Meetings and find out how <br /> hard it was for the Selectmen to get records when <br /> they were requested. It was being supported by Town <br /> funds at that time, and those who were operating the <br /> Museum repeatedly refused to give an accounting of <br /> the monies . All :Town agencies are required to do that, <br /> but those running the Museum seemed to think they were <br /> exempt from giving any accounting, she said. <br /> Sel. O'Connell said the reporter had apparently gotten <br /> his only information in a phone call he had made to <br /> Mr. O'Connell early one morning, asking when ' pebple` (`. <br /> could go through the Museum. He explained that the <br /> Town Meeting had refused to fund personnel for the <br /> Museum, therefore it was not open. From this conversa- <br /> tion, the reporter had apparently drawn the conclusions <br /> he published in the paper. <br />
