A reconsideration however, of the vote was moved which prevailed, and the house was again polled upon the question of sending a representative, when there appeared twenty (20) for and forty (40) against it. The meeting was then dissolved and a meeting organized for the transaction of town business." The History of Augusta, 231-232.
