The Town lt~anager read letter dated 11/1/63 from Mr. L.A. Wingle of
Boxwood Terrace relative to the matter of vehicular speeding through.
the Town. In discussing the matter the commissioners were of the
general opiniom that most traffic was travelling at more reasonable
speed than was the case before the limit was reduced from 65 miles
to the present 1.x.5 mile limit. Admitting that there were always a
few flagrant v~olator~, especially at night, the commission felt
that the taxpayers were mot yet ready for the millage increase that
would be necessary to set up police, court. and attendant details.
By general agreement the letter from Per. Wingle was tabled and the
Town Manager was requested to discuss the matter with him.
The Town 11~anager reported a current question he had from a broker
whose prospective client would wish to display. his attorney sign at
a motel property. It was generally believed that zoning provisions
would prevent such a use and the Town P:2anager was requested to take
up the question with the Town Attorney.
Concerning zoning matters the Town Manager advised that he had dis-
cussed the matter of a proposed Nursing Home with a recent taxpayer
of the Town who is also a doctor and a director of a Nursing Home.
It was his opinion that such an installation would be objectionable
in a strictly residential area. After some discussion it was the
consensus of the commission that our passage of Ordinance #123 was
too hasty and that it should be revised to eliminate Nursing Homes.
The Town Men alter advised that X13,000, of 1963 taxes wBee collected
in November out of a collectible total of X18,000.
The meeting was ~axxa~aa~ adjourned on motion of Comre. Turner, second-
