Gilford selectmen accept $10,000 donationBy THOMAS P. CALDWELL, LACONIA DAILY SUNGILFORD — The Gilford Board of Selectmen formally accepted a $10,000 donation toward the purchase of a fire boat on Wednesday evening. The Police Relief Association is a separate legal entity, but the fire boat donation comes to the town as unanticipated funds. Monetary income of $10,000 or greater requires a public hearing before the selectmen can accept the money. The donation drew no public comment, but Chairman Chan Eddy gave public acknowledgement of the gift with a thank-you for Sousae’s generosity. He said there is plenty of room without encroaching on the property line, and a grant could help to pay for it.
