Peru: Building permits signed

Selectmen signed permits recently for Bernard Berry on Garneau Road for a 12- by 24-foot addition, David Doyon on Auburn Road for a 12- by 16-foot deck and John Lavorgna for new footings for his camp.

The board also signed a grant application for Joe Kerr of the Snowmobile Club. The grants enable the club to maintain the trails.

Road Commissioner David Gammon told the board he was concerned that bulldozers might damage the asphalt floor in the new salt sand shed by moving sand before the floor was fully cured. Chairman Bill Hine asked selectmen’s secretary Kathy Hussey to contact contractor David Trask and get his opinion on the issue.

The members of the committee to study what to do with the Peru school once the new school is finished are Norman De Roche, Rodney Jamison, Bob Dolloff, Skip MacFawn, Jim Pulsifer, Joey Roach and Lynn Morse.
