water service to his horse barn on Tompkins St. Ext. has to be

2. Regardin-meeting with firemen and Town Board Members, one of
the main items discussed was the heating and maintenance of
their meeting room.
Justice Eaton reported. Pie still does not have any estimates on
the insulation and proposed heating system for this building.
Also discussed at the meeting was the possibility of having
a Town Fire District for this area of the town. Supervisor
® Blatchley advised them that this possibility will be under
study for the next three years, the remaining term of -the
fire protection contract with the Village of Homer.
