§ 22. Board of Trustees; duties
The Board of Trustees shall have the general care and management of the prudential
interests and affairs of said Village; shall direct the expenditure of all monies
belonging to said Village, draw orders upon the Treasurer, and generally perform all
the duties legally enjoined upon them by said corporation, and shall submit their
accounts and vouchers to the Auditor at least twenty days before the annual meeting
of each year. Said trustees shall have power to abate taxes laid or assessed by virtue
of this charter; but the power of said trustees to abate taxes shall be subject to
the same limitations and may be exercised for the same causes as mentioned in section
2736 of the Revised Laws. The trustees shall have the powers and duties of selectmen
specified in sections 3939 through 3946 of the Public Laws of 1906 related to the
diversion of streams and the establishment of drains ditches and water courses. The
trustees shall fill a vacancy in a Village office, and a person so appointed shall
serve for the unexpired time; but the Village may, at any time before the expiration
of such term, supersede such an appointment by a new election at a special meeting,
for the remainder of the term. All power vested in said trustees may be exercised
by a majority of them.
