[Adopted as Ch. 7, Art. II, § 7-16 and § 7-18,
of the 1988 Revised General Bylaws]
The board of health shall annually on or before the ninth day
of January, send to the selectmen an estimate in detail of the appropriations
required by the health department during the financial year.
All bills for expenditures from the appropriations for the health
department shall be drawn for by the chairman of the board, and examined
by the selectmen, before they are paid by the Town treasurer.
Whenever the board of health sells any article or materials
belonging to the Town, or does, or causes to be done, work for any
individual, it shall be entered in books to be kept for that purpose
and all such sales and work done, with the price thereof, and shall
forthwith make out bills for the same and deliver them to the town
treasurer for collection, and the treasurer shall forthwith demand
payment of the bills. In case any bills or dues under this section
remain unpaid at the expiration of 30 days after demand for payment,
the treasurer shall deliver the same to the board of selectmen for
legal proceedings; but if the selectmen are satisfied that the interest
of the Town requires it, they may cause legal proceedings to be had
at any time.
