Saturday - Parade and Square Dance
Sunday - Clambake - Band Concert - Fireworks
The pageant depicting the history of Mattapoisett is being written by Charles S. Mendell, Jr. and will be the highlight of the week.
196
In order to have a Centennial celebration that Mattapoisett can remember with pride a substantial sum of money will have to be raised. The committee feels that this should be done part by town appropriation and part by participation of the people of this town, in order to make it possible for each person to have a share in the celebration.

In submitting my report for the past year, I would like to state that this department unfortunately was unable to complete all the projects voted for; due to the long task of cleaning up after the 1954 Hurricane, such as, clearing away debris on private property, replacing culverts, and repairing sidewalks, etc. It was well into the summer before work was started on the regular construction jobs. However, let's hope this year, weather permitting, everything will be back to normal.
May I take this opportunity to thank the Board of Selectmen for their assistance and cooperation; and many others who were so helpful during the past year, I am most grateful.
Respectfully submitted,
MANUEL R. NUNES, JR.

Former Member of Town Finance Committee
WARRANT Annual Town Meeting
Annual Town Meeting to be held March 5th and 6th 1956
Commonwealth of Massachusetts Plymouth, ss.
To either of the Constables of the Town of Mattapoisett in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
GREETINGS:
In the name of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts you are hereby directed to notify and warn the inhabitants of the Town of Mattapoisett qualified to vote in Town Elections and in Town Affairs to meet at the Town Hall in said Mattapoisett on Monday, the 5th day of March next, at seven-thirty o'clock in the evening and in said Town Hall on Tuesday, the 6th day of March next, at twelve o'clock noon, then and there to act on the follow- ing articles, to wit:
ARTICLE 1. To consider the report of Town Officers and Committees and act thereon.
ARTICLE 2. To see if the Town will vote to fix the Salary and Compensation of all elective officers of the Town as provided by Section 108 of Chapter 41, General Laws, as amended: Treas- urer and Tax Collector; Chairman, Board of Selectmen and Public Welfare; Second Member of Board of Selectmen and Public Welfare; Third Member of Board of Selectmen and Public Welfare; Town Clerk; Three Members Board of Water Commis- sioners; Four Members Board of Registrars of Voters; Moderator; Herring Inspector; Tree Warden; Wharf Commissioner; Highway Surveyor; and raise and appropriate a sum of money therefor.
Report of Finance Committee
Over $500,000 will have to be raised if all the articles in the 1956 Town Warrant are adopted, as requested. This will make the 1956 tax rate excessive.
If the recommendations of the Finance Committee are accepted, the tentative tax rate, based on the estimated valuation, receipts, and expenses submitted by the Board of Asses- sors, will be about $10.00 more than the 1955 rate.
The free cash is $459.00, which is too low to be of any help in cutting down the tax rate.
The overlay surplus, from which the emergency fund is usual- ly drawn is not adequate to create a workable amount, therefore, it is necessary to raise more from the tax lexy.
ARTICLE 1.
ARTICLE E 2. We recommend $16,450 be appropriated under this article.
