May we say that a great deal of time and deliberation have been expended in the interest of our town and the conclusions reached have come about only after careful consideration of all available data. The report this year is concerned with some very significant items that could. have a far-reaching effect on the welfare of the town. Because of their importan?e, we feel some explanation of the Committee's actions should be forthcoming to you in this preamble. Our town is continuing to grow and a number of our departments require addition- al manpower and new facilities commensurate with this growth. To this end, we have attempted to meet as many of these needs as we feel economical£y feasible bearing in mind the need to maintain a practicable and. attractive tax rate for the citizenry. We earnestly request that you bear this in mind as you review these recommendations. With some reluctance, we are recommending that the Town Infirmary. be permanent- ly closed. This conclusion emanates from the belief that the facilities furnishing such services are outmoded and inadequate in our time. To achieve the health and safety requirements necessary to maintain acceptable standards present costs that are prohibitive and ill-advised in our judgment. This recommendation, however, is made only with the assurance from our Board of Pub£ic Welfare t~at ali eligible citizens of North Andover will have their needs adequately and satisfactorily satisfied through other channels. A great deal of consideration went into the matter of new facilities for fire fighting, police protection and a town garage for proper housing of o~r equipment. In principle, we agree there is a need for new facilities with respect to each of these functions. However, we feel very strongly that it is in the best interest of the town to carefully research such matters as site, cost and value to be received in order to provide the most adequate services taking into effect the future growth of the town. To this end, we are recommending that an Ad Hoc Committee be establish- ed to give careful consideration and thought to the possibilities of combining some or all of these facilities in one complex with ample provisions for future growth. One major item contained in the Board of Public Works Articles relates to wells to augment our water supply. There is no doubt in the minds of your Committee that this project is of great importance to the Town of North Andover and its future wel- fare. However, it should be recognized that there is a possibility of obtaining federal financial assistance to help defray the cost of this project. Therefore~ it is the recommendation of this Committee that the Town adopt this article conditional upon receiving federal aid. even though this may result in some delay in starting the project. It is the desire of every progressive town to provide as broad a tax base as possible in order to provide a fair and equitable tax structure for the townspeople. One of the most successful means of achieving this end. is to attract new business and industry to locate within the town. Over the years, we have been successful in such endeavors and we are indeed fortunate to be faced with another opportunity at this time. The Lawrence Eagle-Tribune, a well known and respected newspaper, is desirous of locating an industrial plant within the confines of our to~n. This organization has earned a reputation over many years as being a fine corporate cit- izen and would be a welcome addition to anF rowan. However, in order to e~fect such action it is necessary that the town provide for certain zoning modifications and additional sewerage as indicated in Articles 17 and 72 respectively. Xour Advisory Cormmittee strongly recoum%ends acceptance of these Articles in the best interest of the town. Based on current estimates, which are not firm due to lack of complete ir~form- ation, it would appear that the tax rate would not increase in excess of $1o00 per $1,000 providing expenses are maintained consistent with the reco~endations on the following pages. In recent Fears, our tax rate has ass%m~ed a significant trend up- ward., and we strongly urge that the reco~endatlons contained herein be followed at the Town Meeting in order that a healthy tax climate may continue to prevail within OUr Town.

May we say that a great deal of time and deliberation have been expended in the interest of our tow~ and the conclusions reached have come about only after careful consideration of all available data. The report this year is concerned with some very significant items that could have a far-reaching effect on the welfare of the town. Because of their importance, we feel some explanation of the Committee's actions should, be forthcoming to you in this preamble. Our town is continuing to grow and a number of our departments require addition- al manpower and new facilities commensurate with this growth. To this end, we have attempted, to meet as many of these needs as we feel economical£y feasible bearing in mind the need to maintain a practicable and. attractive tax rate for the citizenry. We earnestly request that you bear this in mind as you review these recommendations. With some reluctance, we are recom~ending that the Town Infirmary be permanent- ly closed.. This conclusion emanates from the belief that the facilities furnishing such services are outmoded and inadequate in our time. To achieve the health and safety requirements necessary to maintain acceptable standards present costs that are prohibitive and ill-advised in our judgment. This recommendation, however, is made only with the assurance from our Board of Pub£ic Welfare that ali eligible citizens of North Andover will have their needs adequately and satisfactorily satisfied through other channels. A great deal of consideration went into the matter of new facilities for fire fighting, police protection and a town garage for prOPer housing of our equipment. In principle, we agree there is a need for new facilities with respect ~o each of these functions. However, we feel very strongly that it is in the best interest of the town to carefully research such matters as site, cost and value to be received in order to provide the most adequate services taking into effect the future growth of the town. To this end, we are recommending that an Ad Hoc Committee be establish- ed to give careful consideration and thought to the possibilities of combining some or all of these facilities in one complex with amPle provisions for future growth. One major item contained in the Board of Public Works Articles relates to wells to augment our water supply. There is no doubt in the minds of wour Committee that this project is of great importance to the Town of North Andover and its future wel- fare. ~owever, it should be recognized that there is a possibility of obtaining ~ede~al financial assistance to help defray the cost of this pro~ect. Therefore, it ls the re~o.mmendation of this Committee that the Town adopt this article conditional upon recezvlng federal aid even though this may result in some delay in starting the project. It is the desire of every progressive town to provide as broad a tax base as possible in order to provide a fair and equitable tax structure for the townspeople. One of the most successful means of achieving this end. is to attract new business and industry to locate within the town. Over the years, we have been successful in such endeavors and we are indeed fortunate to be faced with another opportunity at this time. The Lawrence Eagle-Tribune, a well known and respected newspaper, is desirous of locating an industrial plant within the confines of our town. This organization has earned a reputation over many years as being a tine corporate cit- izen and would be a welcome addition to any town. Rowever, in order to e~fect such action it is necessary that the town provide for certain zoning modifications and additional sewerage as indicated, in Articles £7 and 72 respectively. Your Advisory Committee strongly recommends acceptance of these Articles in the best interest of the town. Based on current estimates~ which are not firm due to lack of complete inform- ation, it would appear that the tax rate would not increase in excess of $1.00 per $1,000 providing expenses are maintained consistent with the recommendations on the following pages. In recent years, our tax rate has assumed a signlffeant trend up- ward, and we strongly urge that the recommendations contained herein be followed at the Town Meeting in order that a healthy tax climate may continue to prevail within our Town.

May we say that a great deal of time and deliberation have been expended in the interest of our town and the conclusions reached have come about only after careful consideration of all available data. The report this year is concerned with some very significant items that could. have a far-reaching effect on the welfare of the town. Because of their importance, we feel some explanation of the Committee's actions should be forthcoming to you in this preamble. Our town is continuing to grow and a number of our departments require addition, al manpower and new facilities commensurate with this growth. To this end, we have attempted to meet as many of these needs as we feel economlcaliy feasible bearing in mind the need to maintain a practicable and attractive tax rate for the citizenry. We earnestly request that you bear this in mind as you review these recommendations. With some reluctance, we are recommending that the Town Infirmary be permanent- ly closed. This conclusion emanates from the belief that the facilities furnishing such services are outmoded and inadequate in our time. To achieve the health and safety requirements necessary to maintain acceptable standards present costs that are prohibitive and ill-advised in our judgment. This reeommendatlon~ however, is made only with the assurance from our Board of Public Welfare that ali eligible citizens of North Andover will have their needs adequately and satisfactorily satisfied through other channels. A great deal of consideration went into the matter of new facilities for fire fighting, police protection and. a town garage for proper housing of our equipment. In principle, we agree there is a need for new facilities with respect to each of tkese functions. Mowever, we feel very strongly that it is in the best interest of t~re town to carefully research such matters as site, cost and value to be received in order to provide the most adequate services taking into effect the future growth of the town. To this end, we are recommending that an Ad ~oc Committee be establish- ed to give careful consideration and thought to the possibilities of co,shining some or all of these facilities in one complex with ample provisions for future growth. One major item contained in the Board of Public Works Articles relates to wells to augment our water supply. There is no doubt in the minds of ?our Gommittee that this project is of great importance to the Town of North Andover and its future wel- fare. l~owever, it should be recognized that there, is a possibility of obtaining federal financial assistance to help defray the cost of this project. Therefore, it is the recommendation of this Committee that the Town adopt this article conditional upon receiving federal aid even though this may result in some delay in startin~ the project. It is the desire of every progressive town to provide as broad a tax base as possible in order to provide a fair a~d equitable tax structure for the townspeople. One of the most successful means of achieving this end is to attract new business and industry to locate within the town. Over the years, we have been successful in such endeavors and we are indeed fortunate to be faced, with another opportunity at this time. The Lawrence Eagle-Tribune, a well known and. respected newspaper, is desirous of locating an industrial plant within the confines of our town. This organization has earned a reputation over manF years as being a fine corporate cit- izen and would be a welcome addition to any town. However, in order to e~ect such action it is necessar7 that the town provide for certain zoning modifications and additional sewerage as indicated in Articles £7 and 72 respectively. Your Advisory Committee strongly recommends acceptance of these Articles in the best interest of the town. Based on current estimates, which are not firm due to lack of complete inform- ation, it would appear that the tax rate wo~ld not increase in excess of $1.00 per $1,000 providing expenses are maintained consistent with the recommendations on the following pages. In recent years, our tax rate has assumed a si~alffcant t~end up- ward, and we strongly urge that the recommendations contained herein be followed at the Town Meeting in order that a healthy tax climate ma7 continue to prevail within o~r To ~g..

May we say that a great deal of time and deliberation have been expended, in the interest of our town and the conclusions reached have come about only after careful consideration of all available data. The report this year is concerned with some very significant items that could. have a far-reaching effect on the welfare of the town. Because of their importance, we feel some explanation of the Committee's actions should be forthcoming to you in this preamble. Our town is continuing to grow and a number of our departments require additlon~ al manpower and new facilities commensurate w~th this growth. To this end, we have attempted to meet as many of these needs as we feel economically feasible bearing in mind the need to maintain a practicable and attractive tax rate for the citizenry. We earnestly request that you bear this in mind as you review these recommendations. With some reluctance, we are reco~ending that the Town Infirmary be permanent- ly closed. This conclusion emanates from the belief that the facilities furnishing such services are outmoded and inadequate in our time. To achieve the health and safety requirements necessary to maintain acceptable standards present costs that are prohibitive and ill-advised in our judgment. This recormnendation, however, is made only with the assurance from our Board of Pub£ic Welfare that all eligibl~ citizens of North Andover will have their needs adequately and satisfactorily satisfied through other channels. A great deal of consideration went into the matter of new facilities for fire fighting, police protection and a town garage for proper housing of our equipment. In principle, we agree there is a need. for new facilities with respect to each of these functions. However, we feel very strongly that it is in the best interest of the town to carefully research such matters as site~ cost and value to be received in order to provide the most adequate services taking into effect the future growth of the town. To this end., we are recommending that an Ad Hoc Committee be establish- ed to give careful consideration and thought to the possibilities of combining some or all of these facilities in one complex with ample provisions for future growth. 0~e major item contained in the Board of Public Works Articles relates to wells to augment our water supply. There is no doubt in the minds of your Oommittee that this project is of great importance to the Town of North Andover and its future wel- fare. However~ it should be recognized that there is a possibility of obtaining federal financial assistance to help defray the cost of this project. Therefore, i~ is the recommendation of this Committee that the Town adopt this article conditional upon receiving federal aid even though this may result in soma delay in starting the project. It is the desire of every progressive town to provide aa broad a tax base as possible in ordeF to provide a fair and equitable tax structure for the townspeople. One of the most successful means of achieving this end is to attract new business and industry to locate within the town. Over the years, we have been successful in such endeavors and we are indeed fortunate to be faced with another opportunity at this time. The Lawrence Eagle-Tribune~ a well known and respected, newspaper, is desirous of locating an industrial plant within the confines of our town. This organization has earned a reputation over many years as being a fine corporate cit- izen and would be a we£come addition to any town. However, in order to e~ect such action it is necessary that the town provide for certain zoning modifications and additiona£ sewerage as indicated in Articles £7 and 72 respectively. Your Advisory Committee strongly recommends acceptance of these Articles in the best interest of the town. Based on current estimates, which are not firm due to lack of complete inform- ation, it would appear that the tax rate would not increase in excess of $1.00 per $[,000 providing expenses are maintained consistent with the recou~lendations on the following pages. In recent years, our tax rate has assumed a significant trend up- ward, and we strongly urge that the recommendations contained herein be followed at the Town Meeting in order that a healthy tax climate may continue to prevail within our Town.

May we say that a great deal of time and deliberation have been expended in the intereat of our town and the conclusions reached have come about only after careful consideration of all available data. The report this year is concerned with some very significant items that could have a far-reaching effect on the welfare of the tow%/. Because of their importance, we feel some explanation of the Committee's actions should be forthcoming to you in this preamble. Our town is continuing to grow and n number of our departments require additfon, al manpower and new facilities commensurate with thia growth. To this end, we have attempted to meet as many of these needs as we feel economically feasible bearing in mind the need to maintain a practicable and attractive tax rate for the citizenry. We earnestly request that you bear this in mind as you review these recommendations. With some reluctance, we are recommending that the Town Infirmarybe permanent- ly closed. This conclusion emanates from the belief that the facilities furnishing such services are outmoded and inadequate in our time. To achieve the health and safety requirements necessary to maintain acceptable standards present costs that are prohibitive and ill-advised in our judgment. This recommendation, however, is made only with the assurance from our Board of Pub£ic Welfare that ali eligible citizens of North Andover will have their needs adequately and satisfactorily satisfied through other channels. A great deal of consideration went into the matter of new facilities for fire fighting, police protection and a town garage for proper housing of our equipment. In principle, we agree there is a need for new facilities with respect to each of these functions. However, we feel very strongly that it is in the best interest of the town to carefully research such. matters as site, cost and value to be received in order to provide the most adequate services taking into effect the future growth of the town. To this end, we are recommending that an Ad Hoc Committee be establish- ed to give careful consideration and thought to the possibilities of combining some or all of these facilities in one complex with ample provisions for future growth. One major item contained in the Board of Public Works Articles relates to wells to augment our water supply. There is no doubt in the minds of your Committee that this project is of great importance to the Town of North Andover and itc future wel- fare. However, it should be recognized that there is a possibility of obtaining federal financial asaiatance to help defray the cost of this project. Therefore, it is the re?ommendation of this Committee that the Town adopt this article conditional upon recezving federal aid even though this may result in some delay in starting the project. It is the desire of every progressive town to provide as broad a tax base as possible in order to provide a fair and equitable tax structure for the townspeople. One of the most successful means of achieving this end is to attract new business and industry to locate within the town. Over the years, we have been successful in such endeavors and we are indeed, fortunate to be faced with another opportunity at this time. The Lawrence Eagle-Tribune, a well known and respected newspaper~ is desirous of locating an industrial plant within the confines of our town. This organization has ear.ed a reputation over many years as being a fine corporate cit- izen and would be a welcome addition to any towm. However, in order to effect such action it is necessary that the town provide for certain zoning modifications and additiona£ sewerage as indicated in Articles i7 and 72 respectively. Your Advisory Committee strongly recommends acceptance of these Articles in the best interest of the town. Based on current estimates, which are not firm due to lack of complete inform- ation, ~t would appear that the rax rate would not increase in excess of $1.00 per $1~000 providing expenses are maintained consi.tent with the recommendations on the following pages. In recent years~ our tax rate has assumed a significant trend up- ward, and we strongly urge that the recommendations contained here~n be followed at the Town Meeting in order that a healthy tax climate may continue to prevail within our Town.
