“To be or not to be” - stock or no stock - railroad or no railroad - was the principal question before the community last Saturday, and the town and its “dependencies” (?) turned out en masse to meet the emergency. Every able-bodied voter was in attendance, and the people seemed determined that the matter shouldn’t go by default.
Hon. J. T. Pease was chosen moderator.
The second article of the warrant, “To see if the town would subscribe to the stock of the Martha’s Vineyard Railroad,” &c., coming up, Mr. Samuel Osborn submitted the following resolution:
After shaving down its annual town meeting warrant and budget in 2020, Edgartown selectmen approved much heftier versions of both for 2021, including an article to fund a long-awaited restoration to Memorial Wharf.
With a massive capital project to redo Memorial Wharf on the warrant, Edgartown voted to move its annual and special town meetings to May 22, as well as add a special election to the calendar.
Edgartown voters are set to take up a significantly pared-down agenda, with a complex land purchase involving the Boys and Girls Club topping the 53-article warrant.
