The Globe reports that Wellesley town officials spent $2.6 million less in fiscal 2008 than they could have. Don’t be looking for them to blow it on a big party, but it could lessen the need for an operating budget override vote next summer.
Had an inquiry recently from a reader wondering whether the town sells any “official town of Wellesley apparel.” We checked with the town clerk, who told us that there are “No official town togs; [But that Wellesley High School] has all sorts of things sold by teams and booster clubs.”
Here’s a quirky thing about Wellesley Town Hall. It has six fireplaces (or what used to be working fireplaces), including one in the men’s room on the main floor. Town Clerk Kathy Nagle tells us that the that building, originally erected in the 1880s and presumably heated by coal and fireplaces, kept its fireplaces even through renovations. The other fireplaces in the building are in the Felix Juliani meeting room, the South foyer, the Treasurer’s office, the Assessor’s office and the Finance Director’s office. No ladies, there isn’t one in your restroom.
