Er. Finneran asked Er. Wilcox if any one else has seen the doE hanging
around his place and Mr. Wilcox said "yes." Mr. Flnneran asked
Wilcox if he had go~ in touch with the owner~ and Mr. Wilcox replied
that he had asked his lav~er to send the owners of the dog a letter and
later, his lawyer told Mr. Wilcox tha~ he had talked with Er. Salisbury
and the owners said they would keep the dog home. Mr. Wilcox wen~ on
to say that when a lenghy discussion was held on this subject a short
time ago, there were about S or l0 people presen~ a~ the meeting who
held a grudge against Mr. Wilcox...which dated back ~o the time when
his land was used as a dumping ground...to which ~hese people had
objected, and they still had that grudge against him even today.
Mr. Wilcox said he can get letters from his neighbors who.share his
views on the doE. There was some discussion on ~his complaint of
.Mr. Wilcox' and on a unanimous vo~e of the Board it was decided that

fel~ by the Board that the investigation by the Chief of Police should
include an interview with Mrs. Wennerberg, the writer of the letter,
and his report shou3!~ include any other pertinenZ information. The
Board requested that this report be ready at the nex~ regular meeting,
