1986 Annual Report <br />Town of Lexington, Massachusetts <br />LOUIS A. ZEHNER - 1899 -1986 <br />Town Treasurer - 1970 -1984 <br />Town Meeting Member - 1970 -1984 <br />White Hat Award winner - 1973 <br />Town Report Committee Chairman - 1966 -1976 <br />Town Report Committee Chairman Emeritus - 1976 -1986 <br />Active in crafts, civic, financial and church affairs. <br />This report is dedicated to Louis A. Zehner, whose contributions to <br />the Town of Lexington will far outlast his long, fruitful life. <br />A most notable labor of love was his chairmanship of the town <br />report committee for nearly 10 years. His hard work, faithfulness and <br />imagination produced remarkably readable reports that <br />communicated with all citizens. He conceived of two - edition town <br />reports, one a "state of the town~ booklet, with pictures and lively <br />accounts, to be delivered by youth groups to each household and <br />the other a thicker volume incorporating all the required statistics <br />for town officials and archives. These reports won state -wide prizes <br />and considerable recognition. <br />Though Mr. Zehner's town report title changed to Chairman <br />Emeritus in 1976, he contributed heavily to all succeeding town <br />reports, assuring that his concept of attractive useful annual reports <br />would persist despite Proposition 2 112. and the elimination of <br />delivered editions. He had been our champion proofreader and most <br />sage advisor, persevering through the initial plans for this volume. <br />Thanks to Mr. Zehner's astute banking and investment practices, <br />the town has maintained excellent financial condition. Since 1975 <br />the town has continuously retained the Aaa bond rating he strived <br />to earn. <br />
