Report of the North Andover Advisory Board TO THE CITIZENS OF NORTH ANDOVER: On March 16th, the people of North Andover have the opportunity to voice their opinions in one of the oldest forms of government, the Town Meeting. It is up to every- one who is interested in what their tax dollar is spent for, to come to the Town Meeting and carefully consider each Article before voting, as your vote determines the tax rate. This year the impact of the new schools and other large Articles previously approved have now resulted in greatly increased budget requests. The requests for ap- propriations in the Articles of the Warrant are numerous and if all were approved, would mean a disasterous rise in the tax rate. The Advisory Board has considered each Article care- fully knowing that the sponsors have a good reason for their requests. The purpose of the Advisory Board is to recommend financially how much the Town can safely afford to spend this year. We sincerely hope that our recommendations will be followed so we will not have too great an increase in the tax rate. Articles 24 through 32, inclusive, are Zoning Articles and at the time this Report was printed, the hearings on these Articles were incomplete, therefore no recommenda- tions could be made at that time. We wish to thank all persons who have so willingly assisted us in the preparation of this Report. Please make every effort to attend the Town Meeting, which will be held in the Veterans' Auditorium, in the North Andover High School, at 1:30 P.M., March 16, 1963.
