WARRANT
ANNUAL TOWN MEETING
Annual Town Meeting to be held March 2nd and 3rd 1959
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 Congregational Parish Hall in said Mattapoisett on Monday, the 2nd day of March next, at seven-thirty o'clock in the evening, and at the Town Hall on Tues- day, the 3rd day of March next, at twelve o'clock noon. then and there to act on the following articles, to wit:
Report of Finance Committee
SUMMARY
The Finance Committee has recommended those articles which seem essential for the need of the Town. Some articles which were not recommended are worthy of approval but their cost would push the tax rate be- yond a reasonable increase over the rate of 1958. The Town is faced with committments which must be met amounting to eighty-eight percent of our revenue. The probability of the Regional School will add to those committments.
We have tried to be economy wise without being conservative to the degree that requests for expansion and services plus repairs and maintenance of existing properties have been ignored. We recognize that ours is a growing community, necessitating a greater cover- age of details each year, but we must not allow our- selves to spend beyond our means in an attempt to "grow up" overnight. There are roads, sidewalks, water extensions needed. There are our waterfront properties, our schools, our public buildings. There are those who work in the service of the community and are entitled to a living wage. Eventually all of these will expand- to think otherwise would be looking backward-and as they expand so will coverage of them follow. Our assets are our geography, our friendliness, our progres- siveness and our tax rate. The first two may remain fixed, but our progress will slow up and stop if our tax rate soars to heights beyond good business manage- ment.
A projected tax rate of $83.00 is reflected if all the articles in the warrant are accepted.
If the recommendations of the Finance Committee are followed, we estimate a tax rate of $68.50 based on projected estimates of income for 1959.
224
