responsibility but informing the board where they could be purchased. A note from
Miss Annette A. Bernardin stated that she had a conference with Rev. C. W. Carvell

C&~ELO MARINO'S BOND: PLANNING BOARD

Mr. Marino posted a bond with the to~n,zas done in compliancewith the r~es and
regulations governing the subdivision of land adopted under The Subdivision Control
Law. Such bond or security as required shall be posted wi.th the Selectmen and shall
be contingent upon the completion of such improvements within two years of~he date
of. the bond.
POLICE DEPARtmENT:
Myron Ae;~is came before the board to see if it would be allowable for him~o retire
as required at the end of the month of ~darch and then receive two weeks pay in lieu
of the two weeks vacation due him and he suggested that the .Board of Selectmen adopt
this as part of the Police Department rules and regulations.
Mr. Willis felt that this was a matter Which could be adopted by the Selectmen and
in substance it would mean ~hat any officer upon retiring, during the year, in lieu
of his annual vacation, may be granted a two weeks salary. Mr. %?illis suggested that
this be checked ~lth Mr. Maker and with ~r. Dine.
A motion was made that the Board of Selectmenamend the Police By-Laws, rules and
regulations promulgated in. 1932 and revised in 1950, in such a manner that paragraph
26 shall read: E~ery officer may be allowed fourteen days vacation in each financial
year~_thout loss of pay except that no officer shall receive any vacation in the
year of his appointment.. For sickness or injury other than that received in the line
of duty, members of the Force may be allowed upon approval of the Selectmen nor more
than sixty days pay in eac~ Einancial year, a~ half pay. ~en required by the Chief
of Police, a physician,s certificate of such sickness shall be furnished.
Any police officer reaching retirement in any given year may receive upon separation
from service, two weeks pay in liew of the fourteen days annual vacation allowed
under the previous sentence.
Mr. Willis suggested that this paragraph be checked with Mr. Dine-to see if it can be
done and then follow up in writing so that we may have something for the records.
