• Highway Superintendent Report

• Black Topping had increased another $8.00 a ton, which would total $56.00 a ton for the month of July.

• Price for loaders

Highway Superintendent Dow priced a new loader with a trade in:

Monroe Tractor Trade 1999 Caterpillar for a Case Loader would be $67,740.60

Trade 1989 Caterpillar for a Case Loader would be $83,032.68

This is a quote from State Bid.

Milton Caterpillar did not price it out.

Option would be putting the two caterpillar loaders out for bid to the public to see if there would be much difference.

The Board asked for Highway Superintendent Dow to contact Monroe for a lease contract to see what it would cost the town.

This subject was tabled until September or October.

• Dumpster at beach. Highway Superintendent Dow stated that it saves the town money owning the dumpster at the beach, compared to contracting it out. The main problem is that Superintendent Dow and his crew have received calls at home to have the dumpster emptied.
