A smooth meeting in Aquinnah |
Aquinnah approved $200,000 yesterday to renovate the Gay Head Light, which will shine its historic three-whites-and-a-red pattern in six months' time. The special town meeting went by with few objections, town administrator Jeffrey Madison said. Voters did, however, approve just $30,000 to repair a truck for the highway department, instead of $65,000 for a new vehicle.
