NEW HAMPSHIRE NEWS 



Many specialists are situated fairly 

 close to the main entrance. Extension 

 secretaries Cheryl IVlcKenney (862- 

 3200) and Charlotte Cooper (phone: 

 862-3201) are in Room 117; Otho Weils 

 (862-3208) and John Roberts (862-3202) 

 have offices off the secretaries' 

 (Rooms 113 and 115, respectively). Jim 

 Mitchell (862-3204) is in Room 135; 

 Bill Lord (862-3203) in 137; Charlie 

 Williams (862-3207) in 133. 



On the floor above them, ento- 

 mologists are located in one area. 

 Stan Swier (862-1733) is in Room 254; 

 Alan Eaton (862-1734) in 252; John 

 Weaver (862-1737) in 248. 



Cheryl Smith (862-3841), plant 

 health specialist, is in Room 242. 



Obviously, this is a partial list. The 

 secretaries will help you find other 

 people. It's a different building — big- 

 ger, brighter — but its unfamiliarity 



should not prevent anyone from using 

 the services that have always been 

 available. 



(It should also be mentioned that, 

 especially in summer, people are out 

 of their offices — doing field work, 

 etc. — and that if you call, quite often 

 you will be answered by voice mail, a 

 recorded voice that asks you to leave 

 a message. You should not be sur- 

 prised if this happens. If this bothers 

 you, call the secretaries directly. They 

 can connect you or, if the person's not 

 in, leave a written message for you.) 



A Substantial 

 Amendment 



(from Space, newsletter of S.P.A.C.E., 

 New Hampshire's Current Use 

 Coalition, Summer, 1996) 



Governor Steve Merrill signed 



into law House Bill 1580, which 

 substantially amends the "dis- 

 cretionary easement" portion of 

 NH's current use law. The new 

 legislation allows landowners 

 with fewer than ten acres (or 

 who own land that does not cur- 

 rently qualify for current use) to 

 petition their selectmen for cur- 

 rent use taxation, if they can 

 show that doing so meets a 

 demonstrated public benefit. 

 Criteria for evaluating public 

 benefit are spelled out in de- 

 tail. As in the previous law, se- 

 lectmen still have the right to 

 deny the request, but the law 

 provides a right of appeal to 

 the landowner. Copies of this 

 legislation may be obtained by 

 calling the S.P.A.C.E. office at 

 603-224-3306.
