July 7 Set for Court Approval of Selectmen

According to today's Valley News, the Grafton County Superior Court won't decide until July 7 on Orange's petition to appoint two new Selectmen. The petition, signed by Town Clerk Sophie Seace, requests that the court approve Bob Ells and Skip Smith. The two would serve until next March, when voters would have to choose three new members.

When the Town gets the nod from the court, the two Selectmen will appoint a third member. Meanwhile, we're without an official government, and no Board meetings are scheduled.
