whether to consider release of said covenant, or not .... whether the covenant was related only

drainage. The Board voted to have Jack Erle confer with Town Counsel, again, on the matter
and to study existing file.

be advertised. Before the town may use the funds, they have to be appropriated by the town,
through Town Meeting action. Daffy questioned the authority of the Director of Accounts as to
his intrepretation of the requirements and requested a letter' be sent to him for clarification
and verification of his authority. The Board so voted. They also voted to discuss the
