To see if the Town will vote to amend: the Town By-Laws by deleting. in Section 4. 10 . 5 subsection c. in the second sentence, the words "and, in the case of each such estate, in proportion to that frontage there of such way. " Submitted by the Board of Selectmen. This has me in the dark. Firs. Thomas 'I move article 32 be approved as printed in the warrant. Motion seconded. I defer to joseuh teardon; Town Counsel. Mr Reardon: I relieve the explanation is fairly clear. In the first sentence it suggests that the Selectmen shall assess betterments upon the owners of estates which derive particular benefit or advantage from the repairs. The second sentence, however, restricts the assessment to tae owners of the estates fronting on the road where the repairs are to be made. 1 There could be a substantial conflict if the Selectmen make a determinatio ? on a betterment being proposed ignoring "those whose whose property does not have frontage on the road. This is really a curative piece of legis- f lation. Moderator: 'What he is really saying -- He is a good friend or mine-- I love'Attorneys. If betterments are done and you happen to be on that fay ; you are going to be assessed; but so is everybody else-who 1ivsq,7;down that : road and derives the t- e benefits, so its going to cost less I-Ir Reardon: Only if the Selectmen make that decision. They will hold a Public Hearing for all those people involved. Moderators Any further discussion? Being none.,All in favor say aye; oppos ed !,lotion carries. Unanimous vote. Thank you Councelor. I have to imake my amends.
