Messrs. Vandernoot, Bloom and White each separately replied by explaining the results if the $210,000. were to be added to the budget and reviewed the procedures of long term borrowing. Mr. Otto Scheuble - 3 Rock Ridge Road Mr. Scheuble spoke against borrowing, urged the Board to hold a referendum and stated that he felt the proposal involved repair jobs and not capital improvements.
