Report of the North Andover Advisory Board TO THE CITIZENS OF NORTH ANDOVER: What the people vote to spend at the Annual Town Meeting will determine the tax rate for the yeaz' 1962. In this day and age certainly very few things tend to be stable. Our tax rate, in all probability will rise. Just how much this increase will amount to will be up to the people attending the Town Meeting. We have many major projects all worthwhile, but it does not seem financially sound to do them all in one year. 'The Advisory Board has held many meetings to dis- cuss and analyze all budgets and Articles. All department heads have met and discussed with the board members their various needs for the year. We have tried to eval- uate in fair fashion the needs of each department. Every Article was also separately discussed with relation to its eventual cost to the Town. Our sole purpose is to advise financially how much the Town can safely afford to spend at this time. If our recommendations are followed, there will be only a slight rise in the tax rate this year. Next year, however, there will be a more substantial increase in the tax rate as most of the money necessary for the major Articles will not show their effects this year. Please keep in mind that each $21,000.00 raised and appropriated amounts to an increase of $1.00 in the tax rate. Articles 76, 77, 78 and 79 are all Zoning Articles and at the time this report is printed, the hearings on them will still be incomplete, therefore, no recommendations can be made at this time. We sincerely hope you will make every effort to attend the 1962 Town Meeting which will be held in the Veterans' Auditorium, located in the North Andover High School. The Annual Town Meeting is scheduled to take place on Saturday, March 17, 1962, at 1:30 o'clock in the afternoon. We wish to thank all department heads, members of the Town boards, Town officials and all others who in any way assisted us to prepare this report. Please remembel' that unless you attend the .Town Meeting, you will be unable to voice your opinion on how your money is to be spent. This is a privilege many people in the world do not have.
