ARTICLE 3 DEBT EXCLUSION FOR HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT EXCAVATOR

 To see if the Town will raise and appropriate, transfer from available funds or borrow pursuant to any applicable statute a sum of money to be spent by the Highway Department for the purchase of an excavator; or take any other action relative thereto.
 Submitted by the Board of Selectmen

NO MOTION

Since it had already been defeated at the election, as in NO, there was no point in asking town meeting. So the people did say NO. In my opinion, that means NO, do not do it, but the selectmen did it anyways.
