Voters, 89 of them, filled five municipal offices at their elections recently.

The date of the annual town meeting has not yet been decided.

Richard K. Dubois was elected to a three-year seat on the board of selectmen with 54 votes over Tina Dube, who got 16 votes. Dube was elected to a two-year term on the same board with 35 votes.

Marie Helen Sirois was elected to one-year terms as clerk and treasurer with 75 and 79 votes, respectively.

For a three-year seat on the school board, Robert G. Beaulieu outdistanced Hilda C. Beaulieu by a margin of 50 to 33 votes.

Sirois said a date will be set for the annual town meeting after the town receives the report of the auditor for 1996. The audit was in process Tuesday.

Wallagrass

Voters elected one municipal official and approved 1996 expenses totalling $120,981 at their annual town meeting recently.

Patrick Fournier was re-elected, unopposed, to a three-year term on the three-member board of selectmen.

At the annual town meeting, voters approved all recommendations of the board of selectmen.

The only item turned down was a request to expend $600 to repair the so-called St. Antoine Road. The item was on the warrant at the request of land owners on the road.

Town Manager Duane Belanger said approved expenditures will call for a slight increase in property taxes. The size of the increase will depend on the town’s share of SAD 27 expenses. That won’t be known until June.

Of the $120,981 approved by voters, $55,000 will come from excise tax collections and the remaining $65,981 will come from other anticipated revenues and property taxes.

Winterville Plantation

Voters filled four municipal offices and approved expenditures totaling $98,774 at their recent annual town meeting.

First Selectman James Nadeau said municipal expenses would not increase property taxes for 1996. However he said the town does not yet know what its share of the SAD 27 budget will be.

Of the $98,774 in expenses, voters agreed to use $39,526 from unappropriated surplus, $5,250 from anticipated revenues, and $8,000 from surplus. The remaining $45,998 will come from property tax.

Elected were Ricky Tardie, selectman for three years; Patricia Crane, tax collector and clerk for one year; and Rina Beaulieu, treasurer for one year.

Like many small Maine communities, the plantation’s biggest expenses, except for education, is for solid waste disposal. For 1996, solid waste disposal is expected to cost Winterville $13,362.
