Supervisor Krahforst said the renovations to the Town Hall which he has undertaken have exceeded the sums budgeted and there is no more money in this fiscal year for work on the Town Hall.
Councilman David Alderman said the digging to install the new light had caused one part of the walkway to sag by a couple of inches, which made it difficult to get a wheelchair up the walkway. He urged that the whole sidewalk be rebuilt, but, as there was no money available for such a project, Highway Superintendent Ray Harrison said he would come the next day and lift the sunken section back where it belongs.
