Highway Superintendent: Elect or Appoint?

The proposal to change the office brings out opposition.

Town officials--and residents--are debating a proposal to eliminate the highway superintendent's job as an elective position and make it an appointive one.

A brought out scores of residents and superintendents from other communities in support of keeping the office elective, with only a handful of people expressing a different view. Many insisted that the change would take away their voting rights. The proposal's supporters say it will impove efficiency and save money.
