A special town meeting;

Templeton water dept. has been before the selectmen, on Wednesday, February 10, 2016 to ask for a special town meeting. Reason for this meeting is so the Templeton water dept. can apply for a loan from USDA to replace one of Templeton's water tanks. The water dept. stated they woulld pay the costs associated with this meeting. Seems like the water dept. needs town meeting after all. According the a letter from the MA DOR, with regards to MA general law, chapter 164, the Templeton light & water dept. is not a separate legal entity and needs town meeting approval to take on more debt.

This is no rumor as I was present at the meeting. This is just what the dept. needs, more debt.
