Both school overrides were passed , <br /> however the third override question for $56 , 789 to fund five <br /> municipal positions was defeated . It was speculated that it was <br /> just easier to turn down this override in view of the severity <br /> of the previous two override questions . Ed suggested that these <br /> requests for positions be moved to another ballot . There may have <br /> to be a transfer out of the Reserve Fund for the Assessors . John <br /> expressed the situation of the Conservation Department . The <br /> Chairman of the Commission . is concerned because the present <br /> part time secretary is looking for full time employment . If she <br /> should leave the Department the Chairman will have to train both <br /> a Conservation Agent and a .secretary . Finance Committee members <br /> were in agreement that they did not want to go back into the <br /> budgets to fund these positions . Ed recommended that each position <br /> should be voted on individually . This might give some of the <br /> positions a better chance . These can go on the June ballot . <br />
