The board unanimously agreed that the three (3) Cohasset residents who applied would be shown the courtesy of a personal interview when they are conducted.

The Chairman said that each would be screened so that about ten (10) remained and then another meeting would be scheduled to re- duce the number further, for perhaps six or eight personal interviews. The screening process proceeded in numerical order with each board member reading aloud pertinent data from about equal batches of applications. The data which was revealed included number, general area of residence, sex, educational background, work experience and any other experience deemed appropriate. By 10:00 p.m. the acceptable applications were reduced to twelve (12) which were tabled for future screening and interviewing. The Chairman agreed to draft a letter for transmittal to the unsuccessful applicants. In other business, the Chairman requested a motion to go into executive sess- ion to discuss pending litigation in the Bell-Mazza case. Thereupon, it was moved by Mrs. McArthur, seconded by Mr. Ainslie and VOTED with Mr. Laugelle abstaining, having previously disqualified himself. Mr. Laugelle left the ® room with other observers.
