The meeting was called to order at 7:40 p.m. by the Town Clerk as Moderator Pro Tem, who announced that the office of Moderator was vacant, due to the death of Herbert Austin Lincoln.

A motion was made and seconded that Joseph Silvia be nominated to fill the vacancy in that office. A motion was made, seconded and voted that nominations be closed. It was unani- mously voted that Joseph Silvia be Moderator for this meeting.
The Town Clerk swore in Joseph Silvia to the faithful and impartial performance of his duties and he assumed charge of the meeting.
That part of the Warrant which calls the meeting and the return thereof by the Constable was read.
