. . . . Those who desired lots in the.irillage were asked to make - a first, second, and third choice. It a conflict - did arise, left - in the hands of the residents involved to ainicably-r -diolve any. problem. Apparently, there was only one dispute -and it was-settled with little controversy. . • - - . - . • _ • • - - • The meeting - in November had been the official:go-ahead-for developing a new community; however, it was not until the annual March town meeting of 1940, that the relocation procedure be-came legal. It was decided that this meeting would not be adjourned until the reestablishment was completed. Since it would be impossible for each citizen to vote on every issue and be involved With all decision making, certain tesponsibilities'and decision-making powers-were transferred to the selectmen. They were empowered to .purchase the public lands from the non-profit corporation, to 'contract for streetconstruction, to create a plan for a town water system, and to handle a host of other details involved, with developing the new town. Another majpr concern was to petition the Governor and Council to extend the existing debt limit for towns beyond the 3% of assessed overall tax value limit, which would only permit borrowing up to $18,480 while as estimated $50,000 would be necessary for public facilities,-plus an additional $40,000 for a new water. System which could be paid for as a bond issue. On March 26, a few days after the March 1940 town meeting, the Governor and Council granted ' consent to extend the debt limit of $50,000 and to arrange for a loan from a Boston bank at one percent intirest. (See Financial Analysis). One of the major reasons that a loan was necessary was the fact that the townspeople and selectmen were unwilling to settle for the initial offer given by the Corps of Engineers for town roads, the antiquated water system, bridges, town buildings, etc. -The entire amount offered by the Corps of Engineers, representing the federal government, was $55,000. The bank in Boston that would issue the loan had little to fear since the' note was guaranteed by the State of New Hampshire and was also secured by the future federal reimbursement for town property.- Construction. The combination of the loan, the state's tax reimbursement for tax value which - would be lost, and individuals' receipts for previous housing, gave the town the financial base to actually begin construction of the new village. Herbert C. Person, an employee of Clark at the State Planning and Development Commission, offered his services, under a year's leave of absence, to become construction engineer for Hill at the town's expense. The majority - of the.' - construction took place between the March town meeting of 1940 and June 1941. By that time, there were streets, a-water system, the town hall, and about thirty houses completed, - with several others under construction. 25--
