-not be added at a future "time.' Zoning Officer Rogers responded that the use of
chemicals is controlled by the Sewer Ordinance and added that if the business
office changes to a full - fledged laboratory, a permit would be required for

issue allows for $15,000 to be moved out of the General and into the Water Fund.
Trustee Pimentel, speaking on behalf of the P.W. Committee, stressed the need for
a new garage and asked that P.W. Supt. Rogers be permitted to spend $500 for the

by each department and the Treasurer stated that he would like to see the develop -
'
ment of a five -year capital plan to be presented to the Board and subsequently
pared down in a full -Board working session. It was agreed to do this.' In dis-
cussing the persistent problem with the leaking roof at the Fire House, Supt. of
