' Under the present plan, the Board considers the construction of a small, low cost , building, to be located on the town lot on Grubb Street. The building, if and when constructed, will contain offices for the Mayor and Council, town clerk and police de partment , It was the opinion of the Board, the project can be completed from surplus funds accumulated during the past several years, and a small sur plus expected during the current fiscal year.

The voters of Hertford rejected a measure earlier this year calling for a bond issue to finance the construc tion of a municipal building on a larg er scale. ; . ; Reconsideration of the proposal was brought about by the needs of the town for sufficient space to "house the offices of the town officials.
