KINGFIELD – Beulah Moore met with the Board of Selectmen Monday night to discuss the mistreatment by Kingfield residents of items she donated to the town.
Moore had donated a number of items of historical interest to Kingfield, including records of town graduates and lists of town servicemen and women.
“I am very interested in the town,” she explained. “I was brought up here 90 years ago And I am amazed to think that the picture of the veterans is gone from the wall.” The item in question was found behind a bureau in the town hall. The bureau was said to have been put there during a wedding and never removed.
Moore told selectmen that, “I am very concerned about these things. If the town wants them, they should be preserved. But if they don’t, I’d like them back.” She added that she hopes residents will “respect all of our servicemen. They’re No. 1 to me.”
The selectmen agreed to look into the situation and discussed possible fixes to the problem, including commissioning a locked viewing cabinet or hanging the items in town offices.
Doug Marble met with selectmen to review the code enforcement officer’s report, and Bill Brown outlined his spring schedule as assessor’s agent.
Clay Tranten was elected to the Planning Board. He will fill Neal McCurdy’s unexpired term.
