Pfeffer - the folks appointed tonight were all on the first building committee, want to finish the building

M. NEW BUSINESS
TV studio to see the progress on the building

The old South Church
uncertainty on what the building can be used for some work required, 1856
what can the town use it for?
need to know the actually and official status

if the building is under the historical society, what does it really mean
it is the oldest church in Franklin

we can give you a written reponse
we have a copy of the deed to the town, are the owner of the building
the deed is not the best written
one should have a lot more info
there are a lot of pieces of the puzzle to be figured out

why when a published author speaks at the Library
the Library trustees have a long standing policy prohibiting the sale for profit

They should go talk to the Library Board
