to do it or not. The amount to
update is $25 per parcel. The
amount is for 160 parcels at a cost of $4000.00. The board asked that Mr. Hamlin and Mr. Keibel be invited to the December meeting to discuss the
matter.

OLD BUSINESS:
On the building codes, most towns are inspecting the
installation of stoves. On Nov. 30th,
Mr. Simpson may find out more at a schooling. The board discussed the inspections of
stoves and will find out more at the next meeting.
A sheet listing the charges for building permits was
given to the board members for review to see if they feel changes should or
should not be made.
The board
discussed a new furnace and of going with a gas boiler. The information received is that the
tank would have to be so far away from the building, maybe the oil fired should
have a secondary pum on the bottom floor.
They talked of waiting till spring and the size of the
pipe feeding the fuel to the boiler, to check into the heating unit we need and
the circulating system. What size
furnace is needed, etc.
Mr. Forkey will get in touch
with the Anytime Heating and see if he will give an analysis of what we need to
sufficiently heat the building.
