56 a number of other accomplishments during the past session of the

58 to thank you for your assistance and leadership on important city
59 and town issues during the 1983 session.
60
61 We especially appreciate your authorship and leadership in ob-
62 taining passage of HEA 1074. This legislation provides new
63 procedures for elections in towns under 3,000 and was a top
64 priority matter for us this session. It would not be law, and
