All three incumbent selectmen were returned to office unopposed Friday night in annual town meeting voting, and they'll be paid better for it.

Sterling "Bill" Reed was re-elected first selectman; James Smyth, second selectman; and Harald Moore, third selectman.

"Everything passed," Reed said. "The only thing that changed is that the selectmen got a raise."

Reed said the article for the selectmen's salaries was amended to make the annual salaries $1,300 each for the second and third selectmen and $2,900 for the first selectman.

Newly appointed town clerk and tax collector Dawn Amaya will get $8,000 per year.

In other voting from the floor, Clarence Begin was elected to the School Administrative District 12 board for a three-year term.

Reed said voters approved spending about $150,000 for 2007, not including spending for the schools and the town's share of the Somerset County budget.
