PROCEEDINGS OF THE ANNUAL TOWN MEETING,
HELD, MARCH 31, 1902.
ARTICLE 1. To choose a Moderator to preside at said meet- ing.
Voted, Unanimously by the following resolutions : We, the citizens of Acton Mass., in Town meeting assembled this thirty-first day of March 1902, do hereby sincerely express our regret at the proposed retirement of Mr. Luther Conant, from the office of presiding officer of our Town meetings, which office he has so ably held for more than forty years. We fully realize our debt of gratitude to him for his faithful service, and it is with profound regret that we learn of his intention to retire there- from. We heartily assure him of our esteem and appreciation of his self-sacrificing devotion to the Town's best interest, also, his ever ready willingness and careful attention to all the manifold duties of presiding officer and his fair and impartial decisions. We earnestly request that he reconsider his intention and continue to serve us in this capacity. We feel that should he adhere to his present intentions and retire as planned, the Town will be the loser to an extent we cannot at present estimate. With this feeling in mind we again with all the force of entreaty at our command request that he may continue to endow the Town with his faithful service. In accord with these wishes we heartily and cordially thank him for the great service rendered the Town and assure him of our most heartfelt wishes for a long continuance of his long and successful life. We hereby direct that a copy of' these resolutions be suitably framed and presented to him.
Luther Conant was chosen Moderator.
Mr. Conant declined to serve and Charles M. Kimball was chosen Moderator.
S. Hammond Taylor, Edgar H. Hall and Hobart E. Mead were appointed additional tellers by the Moderator and sworn.
