ARTICLE 49: Recommended - $81,000 ARTICLE 50: Indefinite postponement ARTICLE 51: Indefinite postponement ARTICLE 52: Favorable action - no funds requested ARTICLE 53: Favorable action - no funds requested ARTICLE 54: Favorable action - no funds requested ARTICLE 55: Recommended - $22,000 (for general town purposes) ARTICLE 56: indefinite postponement - insufficient information regarding E.A.T. land Favorable action - no funds requested (Moore land) ARTICLE 57: Unfavorable action - $73,000 requested Our opposition is based primarily on price, secondarily on the fact that this parcel consists of essentially buildable frontage lots. In considering the financial impact of land acquisitions, one of the criteria of the Appropriation Committee is the impact of any expensive frontage land proposals. Impact may be visual or in opening ut, access to town land or in protecting a valuable town resource. We believe none of these tests of impact is met; the justi- fication is limited to the non-availability of other conservation land nearby in Precinct 8. This, too, is an important test of impact, but insufficient for the price. ARTICLE 58: Recommended - $16,000 ARTICLE 61: Recommended - $500 (for general town purposes) ARTICLE 62: Recommended - amount to be determined and contingent upon approval of preceding articles. The recommended Articles total $447,700 of which $30,500 are recommended not as Conservation purchases but as taking for general town purposes. Respectfully submitted, Edward E.
