Mr. Poyer seconded the motion, voted and carried. Mrs. Robinson requested permission of the Board to acquire three extra inspectors to work during registration and at the polls for the November election this year. This permission was granted pending the legality of the appointment of extra inspectors. She is to inquire into the legality of such appointment. NOTE: The Board of Elections advised that it would not be possible to add three extra inspectors to work during registration and at the polls for the November election this year, the rule being that one Democrat and one Republican must be added in each District. District 2 will be the busiest since there are many students living in that area, so two extra inspectors are to be added as per the rule above. ) Mr. Potter reported on the work of the Highway Department the past month, and mentioned work still to be done before winter snows.

Mr. Potter said the work had not yet been done. General discussion developed on damages done on Maplewood Road by the June flood. Mr. Potter said he still has not received bids for repair of the road, saying the contractors contacted so far believe the estimated costs of repairs set by the Army Engineers are too low. It was suggested he ask the contractors to go ahead and present their bids without con- sideration of trying to meet the cost figures presented by the engineers, and then present these figures to the agency handling flood repair re- imbursement costs. Mr. Payne said he would also contact a contractor he knows personally. Mr. Charles Warren asked the Board what were the overall plans for Maplewood Road repairs.

He also said it was imperative to clear the main highways first because p5 the necessity of access to the hospital in cases of emergency, and that State Aid reimbursed the Town for this work.
