The Board of Select Persons this week OK'd the abatement for Melissa Patterson, who happens to be a member of the board, and there are eight others who are expected to ask the board to also have their abatements reapproved.
Nine homeowners who said they for years have put up with the noise from the Central Maine Power Co. substation near Albion Road recently told the Board of Select Persons the abatements they had received were discontinued.
Benton residents on the general election ballot will consider four warrant articles, including one to expand the Board of Select Persons from three members to five.
