Articles as stated plus Art. 4 as tentatively recommended, plus estimated
state and county figures would amount to a $9 increase in tax rate,
assuming $600,000 is transferred from E & D.
Articles amount to $2,200,000
Capital Expenditures Committee estimates $1,400,000 - this would
make the tax increase $5
Police Riad Budget Discussed
Cadets (Art. 39) recommend only 2 cadets this year and an appropriation
of $5800
School Articles - Logan Clarke and Rudolph Fobert came to discuss these.
Art. 13 - $125,000 for Junior High School plans - top priority of their items.
Art. 30 - $7500 for parking lot - less importatt than JHS, but they would
like this parking space very much.
Construction Program
Anticipated that new junior high school will cost about $4 million
including equipment (Large increase in cost of mechanical equipment and
relatively small no. of people who will bid on this kind of job accounts
for most of the price increase)
Construction will allow them to put the ninth grade in the Junior High
Schools, to reduce Muazey by 100 and discontinue Muzzey after 1976, they
hope. Munroe would be discontinued in 1972, Hancock in 1973.
