TOWN WARRANT.
Articles 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 19, 21, 22 and 23 seek a total additional appropriation of $14,915.00, ($8000 being sought for motor apparatus in the Fire Department under articles 13 and 14). If all of these are granted the unprece- dented amount of $251,322.90 will have to be raised from the
18
"1917 taxes, the town having voted in 1916 to pay $13,781.00 this year, the remaining half of the cost of Congress, School, Purchase and Grant streets.
We strongly urge the people who must pay the taxes to meet this large amount to carefully observe these figures. After doing so, if they wish to protest against being confront- ed by the tax collector in the fall with a still larger tax bill «this year than in 1916, the time to make that objection felt, and the only time it will have any weight is at the town meeting.
We urge them to attend the meeting and to be prepared to vote and to so act as to keep the appropriations within the limits recommended herein.
If these recommendations are accepted the tax rate will be kept pratically at the same figure as 1916, but if the extra appropriations are granted as asked for in the warrant, it will result in an approximate increase of $1.50 in the rate.
Further, it is expected that Milford's share of the state tax will be $4,000 more than in 1916, which means a further increase in the rate of approximately 50 cents, bringing the tax rate up to $24.20, an increase of $2 00 over 1916. No one .knows, in view of the high cost of living and the present unsettled conditions what further taxation the town may be subjected to before the completion of the year by state or nation.
We therefore strongly urge the taxpayers to attend the .town meeting and keep these appropriations within the limits rrecommended.
