Governmental agencies, Federal and State, and the public at large are using Town Records more than ever, and draw on the Selectmen's time for information and advice. Since tax maps have become available, credit agencies, real estate brokers, as well as individuals request consultations which take time. The fragmentation of land and the addition of buildings, swimming pools, tennis courts, etc. call for constant updating of tax maps and assessments. Everyone should bear in mind that this results in cost which is borne by the taxpayer. It has been difficult to stay within budgets in this period of inflation. To do as well as we have has required close working relationships with department heads in all phases of their activities. After a careful study of the existing heating system in the Town garage, the board has contracted to install one gas unit in the Fire Department section with the appropriate thermostats. From all the information we can gather, it appears that gas will continue to be available even though oil may be in very short supply. The present system will not be disturbed at this time since it also heats the Highway Department sheds. To effect a real economy of fuel the building needs insulation, particularly of the roof. Eleven Building Permits to construct new housing units were issued. This compares to twenty in 1978 and nineteen in 1977. Highway Department: T.R.A. and Duncan Funds were used on Chase Hill Road and Tandy Brook Road. Additional Gas Subsidy money was spent on Center Road in preparation for reconstruction in the future. At the writing of this report we have had an unusually easy winter from the standpoint of plowing and sanding; however it is too early to predict substantial savings in annual highway expenditures. Police Department: In the second year of the Selectmen being responsible for law enforcement in Cornish, a detailed set of rules and regulations have been developed governing the personnel. The dispatch service provided by the Claremont Police Department for our officers has been upgraded. Our Mutual Aid arrangement is in force with Claremont. Gote Sartz has been appointed Chief, Matthew Tinker regular officer, Mollis Boardman a special, Philip Osgood of Claremont a special, and Andrew Kuhre custodian of the Town Hall is also cloaked with police authority. The different working hours of these men have made it possible to provide police coverage around the clock for the Town. Plans for 1980 call for the installation of a telephone line into the Claremont Police Station. This will allow residents of Cornish to have one number they can call to dispatch our police in emergencies. This number should be used only for emergencies. Following the recommendations of the 1977 Police Study Committee, a uniform record keeping system has been established. In addition suitable files are in the process of being set up to keep other records related to Police activities. Much has been said about Police Training for our men. Officers Sartz and Tinker voluntarily at their own expense attended a training course conducted by Claremont Police. At the moment and for 1980 no certification for part time police is required. Our investigations of this matter revealed that it will be a requirement in 1982. Appreciation: The Board of Selectmen fully appreciate the cooperation of department heads, committees, commissions, and town employees, all of which have the good of the town at heart. It is this spirit of helpfulness that keeps down the costs of government and contributes to a deeper understanding of town affairs. Stanley W. Colby Myron E. Quimby Michael M. Yatsevitch —Selectmen WARRANT The State of New Hampshire To the Inhabitants of the Town of Cornish, in the County of Sullivan, in said State, qualified to vote in Town Affairs: You are hereby notified to meet at the Town Hall in said Cornish on Tuesday, the 11th day of March, next at 10:00 of the clock in the forenoon, to act upon the following subjects: Articles 1 through 6 of the Warrant will be acted upon at 10:00 A.M.
