MILO VOTES "YES" AT SPEClA L TOWN MEETING At a special town meeting, held Monday, January 26, 1976, at the town hall in Milo, residents voted yes on three key ' issues. The town residents .voted to rescind action taken pre­ viously in regards to the three old school houses on High Street. The town voted favorably to authorize the Selectmen . to sell such property under such terms and conditions as they deem advisable; property involved is the old high school, the . old primary school and the· old junior high school to Basket bille Corporation. I talked to Mr. Frank Wilson, President of the Corporation, on the telephone after the favorable vote was passed. He was very pleased to learn that it was unanimous to sell the old school houses to his corporation. He mentioned over the phone several times that the town will be happy with the type ofbusinessthathe will bring toMilo. Again, he stated that he isn't looking for any tax breaks, that he's willing to V;,l. 15, No . 5 pay his fair share. He also stated again that he will reim­ Thursday, Jan. 29, 1976 burse the town $4,000. 00 for the funds that have been invested in the tennis and basketball courts. He mentloned that he would T\v~n•y Ce!lts call his son in Vermont tonight (January 26) to inform him to .(firtttral tln~ur ·.s llfirrkly N rw.s tlngnzint begin preparations to start getting the buildings operational as far as heat, electricity, etc.. This project will begin very soon, but as Mr. Wilson stated, it will all take time. He's very happy that the Town of Milo voted overwhelmingly in favor of his corporation expanding into the Town of Milo. He in­ formed me that as soon as the deeds on the buildings and land are completed, along .wlth the restrictions, he will purchase a flight on one of the airlines from Florida to Maine to finalize the necessary paper work. On Article 4 the town voted $10,000. 00 to be taken from Surplus for use by the Milo Community Hospital to cover oper­ ational expenses for five weeks. All efforts are now going forth to come up with alternate means of funding operational expenses until a satellite plan has been developed. This in­ cludes seeking foundation support, also a state-wide fund appeal which has already begun on television. In addition, a survey will be made of those who ·pledged funds to see if they would like to have their pledges used to keep the present hospital operational. Of the three hospitals that The Friends of Ml.lo Community Hospital inquired about in regards to a satellite plan, the most favorable response was from the Millinocket Community Hospital. 'At the present time, the Trustees .of the Milo Community Hospital are pursuing that response further. More information regarding the Milo Community Hospital wlll be presented in the Town Report. Our annual Town Meeting will be held on March 18, 1976, at 7:30p.m., at the Milo Town Hall. Sincerely, Dale Green, Town Manager
