an expansion of the existing reservoir, the installation of a chlorination system and the installation of improved check valves to eliminate the possibility of backflushing.

Mr. Fisher reported that his survey of the water system is progressing, with only two streets left to plot.

“But there’s only three streets in town,” Mayor Morehouse observed.

“Well,” Mr. Fisher replied with a smile, “my tape is only 10 feet long.”

In other business, the council:

• Appointed, by unanimous vote, Bill Frizzell to the town’s planning commission to fill the vacancy left by Randolph ClateFs resignation. The commission’s other four seats are held by Mr. Wickens, Gloria Robinson, Wallace Critzer and Dan Lewis.

Mr. Wickens also proposed that council advertise its intent to amend the ordinance to expand the planning commission to seven members. That motion was also passed unanimously.

• Approved a motion by Mr. Wickens to advertise its intent to repeal a town ordinance enacted March 7, 1946 and never, as far as Mr. Wickens could determine, repealed. It enforces everything from profane swearing, the sale of rotten seafood, begging, the sale or display of obscene materials, to hog pens, he told the council. “I suspect that it was passed and then forgotten,” he said. “It doesn’t have any relevance to our situation.”

Council approved his motion unanimously.

• Approved a motion to advertise its intent to recodify the zoning ordinance which was enacted, as amended, August 21,1986. Mr. Reynolds informed council that, although the recodification contains no changes to the ordinance adopted last summer, state law requires that council pass an ordinance adopting the recodification of that ordinance.

The intention to enact that ordinance, he concluded, must be advertised.
