Department Items:
Ed Goodrich met with the Selectboard to discuss the boundaries of Chesham Fire Station and property. After looking into the Town Registry, Mr. Goodrich reported that the boundaries of the property are 135 feet wide and 125 feet deep, however, the deed says 135 feet both ways, but he believes that there was a typographical error that caused the 125 feet deep to be recorded as 135 feet, but it is probably 125 feet.
