. Attending: Mayor Hackman, Clerk Beekamn. Commissioners Noble and
Wingle, Town Attorney Mr. George Baldwin, Town Manager Dr. Dailey.
Purpose of meeting was to discuss and agree upon proposed improvements
and changes to be made in the Town Charter.
A discussion ensued of proposed changes in the Town Charter- to
provide a 4-year term of office for the Commissioners, to provide
for elections at two-year intervals, and to arrange terms of office
so that three Commissioners shall be elected at one election and
two Commissioners shall be elected at the next election. All agreed
that staggered terms of office would insure experienced Commissioners
being in office at all times, rather than the possibillity of a
complete change of office holders. Mr. Baldwin agreed to write up
the proposed ammendment.
The question of whether an office holder should be a freeholder was
discussed and agreement was general that is should remain a qualifica-
tion for all elected officials.
An attorney`s bill dated March 17, 1867 was submitted.
Meeting was adjourned 9:15 P. M.
