Economies were effected by the smaller print run and tighter editing The intent of town-wide distribution, and of the department/committee narrations in Part I, was to improve communication between town officials and citizens and to generate greater citizen participation in town government. Copies of this limited edition may be obtained at Town Meeting and the Town Manager's office, and may be read or borrowed at Cary Library and the Council on Aging. Please take good care of this book and share it with others who are interested in Lexington and how it is run. Town Report Committee 277 �!
