Section 10. The general manager may without notice cause the affairs of any division or department under his control or the
conduct of any officer or employee thereof to be examined. The general manager or any person or persons appointed by him to examine the affairs of any such department or the conduct of any such officer or employee shall have the same power to compel the attendance of witnesses and the production of books and papers and other evidence, and to cause the witnesses to be sworn and to be punished for contempt as is conferred by law upon the selectmen. The general manager shall have access to all town books and papers for information necessary for the proper performance of his duties.

Section 11. The selectmen, by a majority vote, may remove the general manager by filing a written statement with the town clerk and accountant setting forth in detail the specific reasons for his removal, a copy of which statement shall be delivered or mailed to said general manager. Such removal shall not take effect, however, until the expiration of five days from the filing of said statement with the town clerk and accountant; but if so recited in said statement the general manager shall be suspended forthwith from his said office. If the general manager so requests within said five-day period, a hearing shall be given him by the selectmen, and in such event the removal of said general manager shall not take effect until a written decision following said hearing shall have been filed with the town clerk and accountant. Such decision by a majority of the selectmen shall be final.
