Joseph Murphy joined the meeting and the Finance Committee questioned him as to where the money for the Library Aide position was coming. Murphy noted that the money was coming from Free Cash. The position was approved but not funded at the Annual Town Meeting. Tt was approved for funding if the 22 override passed - it did not pass - however the position is still needed. Gerald Sewell motioned for a vote of approval, William Towner seconded and the Finance Committee agreed to recommend Article 22. Murphy noted that the Town Engineer is expected to begin employment in January of 1989. There is enough money for the Engineer, however the secretary position is to begin in February and the Assistant to begin in April. He suggested there may be a need to look at some of the Engineering articles, because it may be tight on money. Articles 19, 24 and 27 are all from the Town Engineer Salary Account.
