i Page 3 Special Town Meeting Aug 4/71 f Floor: Article 3 Ctd: I think this would present a serious fire hazard to attach it to Town Hall. I think as Mr. Hicks pointed out the build- ing should be separate. The ambulance is valuable property; but it � would do no good to protect the ambulance and burn down Town Hall. I doubt if you could erect a structure big enough for the ambulance I and also Civil Defense properties for $ 500.00 unless costs have certainly come way down from ghat I have known them to be. Let's be realistic about this thing. Homeyer: For four years I was a member of a committee looping into the building of anew fire station and new town hall® Why not put up a building we can move off? Why attach it to this building? If we build a new town hall. . . . . K. O'Connell : It is now decided that this building will in no way be attached. Yes, it is a frame structure and a frame structure could be built for $2500.00. Grossman advertises such buildings every day. We don't require a fireproof building. A wooden structure framed a closed in would suffice. arsters : It is my understanding we had some money from a fund. It is not the $2500.00 we are asking for; we are asking for $2500.00 to supplement what we already have. F. Hicks : you are referring to the Town Hall Maintenance account. rsters : How much? Isn't it about $1500 to 2000.00? In other words, you want $2500.00 in addition to ghat you have. K.D.O'Connell : If we put an article in here for $3500.00, tomorrow every bid we have will be for $3500.00 or over. This is why we with o put $2500.00 in the fund. If we ask for $3200.00 for the job, every bid will be for $3200.00. We have learned from experience. Benway: I :Hove we raise and appropriate $2500.00 for the Town Mall maintenance fund. Seconded.
