The Surplus available for appropriation (free cash), certified by the State as of January 1, 1956, as required by law, is $106,361. as compared with a similar figure for last year of $102,970. This committee recommends appropriations from free cash amount- ing to $53,660.50 as shown in our report.
On the basis of the assessed value of real estate and personal property, subject to local taxation on January 1, 1955, of $ 6,253,215., each $6,253. appropriated will have an effect of $1.00 on the tax rate.
We invite the attention of the Town to the report of the Long Term Capital Requirements Committee, which is issued in separ- ate pamphlet form.
