PRECINCT OFFICERSR
4%'J'Thomson brought up the ma~er of ~ppointing Precinct Officers. He stated that
they follow thesrmtute under Chapter 54, section 12, and appointments must be
made not before July 15 nor later than August 15 of each year~ and they must be
enrolled voters.
Each year the Selectmen contact both parties in the town as to. available persons
butit has been pretty hard to fill these positions as no names were made available
by the parties and very few people mad~ application to'the Selectmen. Appointments
are made for one year and if the officers are unable~%o.se~ve, then the warden
usually fills the vacancy using his own discretion.
Mr. Thomson explained further tha~ people ap~ointed~ even if employed were expected
to serve a year and.had to take an oath and also the latest oath with respec~ to
not being communis~s. If veterans are available then they should give'their name
to the Selectmen before July 15.
