8:00pm - Edward Parent re: Highway Department
Edward Parent, Superintendent of Streets appeared before the Board, at its request for a general discussion of the Highway Department.
Parent said he has worked at the department for 36 years and told the members that there are 12 persons employed at the department and 22 pieces of equipment. He also said daily work schedules are prepared, but since the highway maintains the cemetery the burials take precedent over the schedule. He stated that a burial takes 1½ days, and there can often be more than one in a week.
Parent spoke about the overall work done by the department and answered questions posed by individual Selectmen. He also said that as the population increases and new people move into town there are new demands for service. The department needs to acquire additional staff and equipment, he said.
