Superintendent Fletcher stated my concern is that TASC may want
to fence off some of our peripheral buildings. I wonder if anyone has
made provision for any pieces of real property that should come out of the
buildings, such as transformers. We should at least have rights to those
things we think have use to us or value.
Chairman Barker stated I think it is imperative this letter be
delivered in hand to the Selectmen tomorrow.
