| This bill validates a school construction referendum conducted |
| by School Administrative District No. 71 on October 1, 2002 and |
| authorizes the district to enter into contracts and issue bonds |
| or notes of the district for the project. The validation is |
| necessary because copies of the warrants that were delivered to |
| the towns and posted were not attested. Validation of the |
| referendum will eliminate a legal technicality that could affect |
| the marketability of the bonds or notes to be issued by the |
| district for the project. |
