sent the Town a statement for the excavations.Assistant Town Attorney
Babcock advised that the Town is not obligated to pay it.The Committee
recommends Mr.Hickam’s statement not be paid.
WATER QUALITY:
Apparently the water is picking up minerals from the pipelines due to
its softness and lack of grounding of the lines.Tests of the water
have been taken and a complete analysis will be conducted in the winter.

rate or consumptive use must be obtained.This will involve more
time than originally anticipated.
