PETITION AGAINST GAS TERMINAL The Hull Lifesaving Museum has begun a petition campaign against the siting of a liquid national gas terminal on Outer Brewster island, near Point Allerton in [HULL]. The museum, which occupies the former lifesaving station on Point Allerton contends that Outer Brewster Island is a protected refuge for local wildlife and one of the jewels in the Boston Harbor Islands national park system. The Virginia-based energy company AES Corp. has proposed building a terminal on the island as a way to place it a safe distance from Boston. Hull's selectmen and legislative representatives have also expressed opposition. The museum has invited people to sign the petition by sending an e-mail to lifesavingmuseum@comcast.net or go to the museum at 1117 Nantasket Ave. - [Robert Knox] MEETING ON SPENDING PROPOSALS The town's Advisory and Finance Committee will meet tonight to discuss proposals to spend $110,000 to fix incorrectly installed fire stops at Plymouth South Middle School, a facility master plan study, and other proposals scheduled to go before the annual Fall Town Meeting beginning Oct. 24. The facility master plan study, proposed by town selectmen, has been estimated to cost between $500,000 and $750,000. The study is intended to help the town plan for building a new high school and new senior center and find new space for town government beyond the crowded Town Hall on Lincoln Street. The committee is also scheduled to take up a proposal to extend town sewer and water to Plymouth South High School and to turn over control of 1,000 acres in South Plymouth over to the town's development corporation for an industrial park. The meeting takes place a 7:30 p.m. at Town Hall. - Robert Knox CABLE TV LICENSE TRANSFER The Board of Selectmen recently approved the transfer of Adelphia's cable TV license to Comcast. The board, which had conducted a hearing into the transfer request July 18, voted its approval Sept. 19. Adelphia is in bankruptcy reorganization, and Comcast and Time Warner are taking over its cable systems, under an agreement signed in April. Town Administrator Bradley Plante said that the license transfer will not take effect until Comcast completes the federal regulatory procedures needed to acquire Adelphia's assets, which is likely to be next spring. He said Adelphia would continue to provide cable service in town until that time. - [John Laidler]
