WARRANT Annual Town Meeting
Annual Town Meeting to be held March 7th and 8th 1955
Commonwealth of Massachusetts Plymouth, ss.
To either of the Constables of the Town of Matta- poisett in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
GREETINGS :
In the name of the Commonwealth of Massachu- setts 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 7th day of March next, at seven-thirty o'clock in the evening and in said Town Hall on Tuesday, the 8th day of March next, at twelve o'clock noon, then and there to act on the following articles, to wit:
Article 1. To consider the report of Town Of- ficers 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: Treasurer 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 Assessors; Three Members Board of Health ;
Report of the Finance Committee
If all the articles are adopted as requested, $430,000 will have to be raised which would make the tax rate for 1955 over $72.00 due to the loss of prop- erty caused by the hurricane.
The recommendations of the Finance Committee, if followed, will reduce the appropriations to about $388,000 and should make the tax rate approximately $62.00.
The items we have reduced or did not approve are highly desirable, but under the curcumstances we feel that we should not burden the taxpayers with such an excessive tax rate.
Article 1.
Article 2. We recommend $15,400 be appropriated under this article.
