TAMWORTH — Residents at town meeting Wednesday were told they would have to ratify their votes at another town meeting to be held at a date to be determined after a mistake was made in posting the warrant.
Voters approved articles to buy the Tamworth Village sewer system for $1 and to support the rec budget despite the selectmen’s objection. They also approved money for a fire truck and narrowly decided to buy the police department a Tahoe, but voted against fuel assistance. The entire meeting took about 3½ hours and ended just before 10:30 p.m.
