§ 731. Establishment of meridian lines
The Governor shall appoint one or more competent persons, one of whom, on application
of the selectboard members, shall set out and establish a true meridian line, not
less than 100 feet in length, at some convenient place in a town or city, to be selected,
provided, and kept by such selectboard members for the free use of all persons.
§ 732. Markers; record; compensation
Under the direction of the person so appointed, the selectboard members shall erect
suitable stone or iron posts at the extremities of such meridian line, setting the
same firmly in the ground, the north post to be marked with the letter M, and the
south post with the initial letter or letters of such town or city. The person so
appointed shall make a written description of the same, so that it can be readily
known, and cause the same to be recorded in the office of the town or city clerk.
Such person shall receive for his or her services from the treasurer of such town
or city $8.00 a day and his or her necessary expenses.
