Lime Kiln Cemetery
by L.F. BARNES
NEWBURY--Fred Swift is
deeding to the Town of
Newbury, one-third of an acre
to expand the Lime Kiln
cemetery of Topsham Rd.
Swift said the land is being
deeded to the town with "no
strings attached. Anyone can
be buried there with the
permission of the selectmen."
He reserved for his family an
eight-grave plot, "wherever it
would seem the most logical".
The selectmen discussed the
location of a road beside the
present boundary fence.
In other matters, the
selectmen reviewed a
proposal by David Longmoore
for a 29-unit campground to be
located on Route 302 on the
high ground above his gravel
pit.
Frank Tilghman, of the Wells
River Savings Bank discussed
with the selectmen the ad-
vantages of setting up a cash
management program, that
would assist the selectmen in
handling their cash flow
problems. The selectmen
agreed to consider such a
program prior to the start of
their next fiscal year.
A motion was passed to
raise the fee for an on-site
septic system design to $140
due to the increased charge of
$125 to the town.
A subcommittee of the
planning commission is
writing a job description for
the zoning administrator and
intends to run an ad-
vertisement stating the
opening for the position.
The selectmen approved

On a 66.acre tract in
Ciarksville, Virginia, he plans
to establish a community for

named the community
"JustyNuff".
With his brother-in-law, Ben

A country boy, Ray expects
that the production of
vegetables and meat will help
in the feeding.
His reasoning is that folks
don't want to live alone. They
want things to benefit them
and to associate with other
persons. "The economy
necessitates self-sufficiency,"
Ray said. "Ours will be a
cooperative venture."
His ideas were revealed in a
