TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER MASSACHUSETTS Advisory Committee Report and · Town Warrant REPORT OF THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE TOWN MEETING MARCH, 1969 FELLOW CITIZENS OF NORTH ANDOVER: On the following pages of this report you will fmd the recommendations of the Advisory Committee. If these recommendations are followed it would appear that the tax rate would increase approximately $8.00. This is based on an optimistic extimate of the State reimbursements to the Town. We should also bear in mind that additional Special Town Meetings during the remainder of the year could raise this figure substantially. A case in point is the anticipated expansion of facilities at the Regional Vocational School The favorable recommendations we have made include a Town Budget amounting to $3,907,397.00, which is an increase of about 10% over last year. This year we are asking the Town to raise and appropriate $269,628.00 through articles which is also a sizable increase. At one point in our deliberations of the Budget and articles the projected tax increase was over $13.00 which we felt to be unreasonable. This is where the task of your Advisory Committee becomes rather frustrating. We fully realize that some of the requests upon which we have acted unfavorably are meritorious. But in fairness to the tax payers these items must be weighed in relation to what the town can afford.(It is our best judgement ,that the recommendations we have made represent a sound fiscal policyX~ the to~vn to follow.) We hope that all Citizens will exercise their right of free opinion on March 15, at the Town Meeting. Respectfully submitted, -"~;" NORTH ANDOVER ADVISORY COMMIT'I4EE John J.

Veterans Memorial Auditorium North Andover High School Please bring this copy of Advisory Committee Report with you to Town Meeting. Advisory Committee Report Town of North Andover Massachusetts U. $. POSTAGE PAID No. Andover, Mass. Permit No. 191 NORTH ANDOVER, MASSACHUSETTS 01845 1969 TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER MASSACHUSETTS Advisory Committee Report and Town Warrant REPORT OF THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE TOWN MEETING MARCH, 1969 FELLOW CITIZENS OF NORTH ANDOVER: On the following pages of this report you will find the recommendations of the Advisory Committee. If these recommendations are followed it would appear that the tax rate would increase approximately $8.00. This is based on an optimistic extimate of the State reimbursements to the Town. We should also bear in mind that additional Special Town Meetings during the remainder of the year could raise this iVtgure substantially. A case in point is the anticipated expansion of facilities at the Regional Vocational School The favorable recommendations we have made include a Town Budget amounting to $3,907,397.00, which is an increase of about 10% over last year. This year we are asking the Town to raise and appropriate $269,628.00 through articles which is also a sizable increase. At one point in our deliberations of the Budget and articles the projected tax increase was over $13.00 which we felt to be unreasonable. This is where the task of your Advisory Committee becomes rather frustrating. We fully realize that some of the requests upon which we have acted unfavorably are meritorious. But in fairness to the tax payers these items must be weighed in relation to what the town can afford. It is our best judgement that the recommendations we have made represent a sound fiscal policy for the town to follow. We hope that all citizens will exercise their right of free opinion on March 15, at the Town Meeting. Respectfully submitted, NORTH ANDOVER ADVISORY COMMITTEE John J. Burke, Chairman Robert E.

S. POSTAGE PAID No. Andover, Mass. Permit No. 191 NORTH ANDOVER, MASSACHUSETTS 01845 1969 TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER MASSACHUSETTS Advisory Committee Report and Town Warrant REPORT OF THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE TOWN MEETING MARCH, 1969 FELLOW CITIZENS OF NORTH ANDOVER: On the following pages of this report you will find the recommendations of the Advisory Committee. If these recommendations are followed it would appear that the tax rate would increase approximately $8.00. This is based on an optimistic extimate of the State reimbursements to the Town. We should also bear in mind that additional Special Town Meetings during the remainder of the year could raise this figure substantially. A case in point is the anticipated expansion of facilities at the Regional Vocational School The favorable recommendations we have made include a Town Budget amounting to $3,907,397.00, which is an increase of about 10% over last year. This year we are asking the Town to raise and appropriate $269,628.00 through articles which is also a sizable increase. At one point in our deliberations of the Budget and articles the projected tax increase was over $13.00 which we felt to be unreasonable. This is where the task of your Advisory Committee becomes rather frustrating. We fully realize that some of the requests upon which we have acted unfavorably are meritorious. But in fairness to the tax payers these items must be weighed in relation to what the town can afford. It is our best judgement that the recommendations we have made represent a sound fiscaI policy for the town to follow. We hope that all citizens will exercise their right of free opinion on March 15, at the Town Meeting. Respectfully submitted, NORTH ANDOVER ADVISORY COMMITTEE John J. Burke, Chairman Robert E.

Veterans Memorial Auditorium North Andover High School Please bring this copy o! Advisory Committee Report with you to Town Meeting. Advisory Committee Report Town of North Andover Massachusetts U. $. PC~TAGE PAID No. Andover, Mass. Permit No. 191 NORTH ANDOVER, MASSACHUSETTS 01845 1969 TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER MASSACHUSETTS Advisory Committee, Report and Town Warrant REPORT OF THE ADWSORY COMMITTEE TOWN MEETING MARCH, 1969 FELLOW CITIZENS OF NORTH ANDOVER: On the following pages of this report you will find the recommendations of the Advisory Committee. If these recommendations are followed it would appear that the tax rate would increase approximately $8.00. This is based on an optimistic extimate of the State reimbursements to the Town. We should also bear in mind that additional Special Town Meetings during the remainder of the year could raise this figure substantially. A case in point is the anticipated expansion of facilities at the Regional Vocational School The favorable recommendations we have made include a Town Budget amounting to $3,907,397.00, which is an increase of about 10% over last year. This year we are asking the Town to raise and appropriate $269,628.00 through articles which is also a sizable increase. At one point in our deliberations of the Budget and articles the projected tax increase was over $13.00 which we felt to be unreasonable. This is where the task of your Advisory Committee becomes rather frustrating. We fully realize that some of the requests upon which we have acted unfavorably are meritorious. But in fairness to the tax payers these items must be weighed in relation to what the town can afford. It is our best judgement that the recommendations we have made represent a sound fiscaI policy for the town to follow. We hope that all citizens will exercise their right of free opinion on March 15, at the Town Meeting. Respectfully submitted, NORTH ANDOVER ADVISORY COMMITTEE John J. Burke, Chaixman Robert E.
