In response to an inquiry whether this meeting might instruct the Finance Committee, and make a suggestion regarding the preparation of next year's budget, the Moderator said that, strictly speaking, this should only be done by returning to Article 4. However, in view of the early hour, and the expressed willingness on the part of the Chairman of the Finance Committee to hear helpful suggestion, the Moderator permitted about five minutes of discussion in this vein. (It was about 10:15 P. M. at this point).
A suggestion was stated. That the Wayland Town Finance Com- mittee be instructed to present next year's budget to be within the income of the Town so that there will be no increase in the Tax Rate.
This was NOT taken as a vote, but merely stood as a suggestion.
The Moderator thanked the students operating the microphones, the police, the tellers, high school officials who had cooperated with setting up the hall, etc., for the smooth running of the several sessions of this meeting; and he gave special mention to John T. Howard, Jr., who had been present, working on microphones until the bitter end, each week, perhaps at times being the last person out of the building - an outstanding civic contribution on the part of one of our students.
He also thanked F. Douglas Dyer, who had repaired the gavel, as a matter of civic contribution, when it had been broken during one of the meetings.
He also announced his appointments to the Memorial Day Commit- tee. Mr. Ronald H. Wood, who had served several years as chairman, having expressed inability to serve, as a matter of health, the following persons were named:
Chairman John W. Leavitt, and as representative of the American Legion, Joseph L. Strafus, as representative of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Richard Loynde.
He also announced his appointments to the Mosquito Control Study Committee :
Allan Morgan, to represent a Conservation Organization; Dr. John Gordon Freymann, to represent the Board of Health; Mr. Dewit Mitchell as an individual whose business is raising livestock; and two members-at-large: Mr. John Pratt and Mrs. Herbert Lipton.
Article 49. To see what sum, if any, the Town will vote to transfer from available funds to meet any of the appropriations made under the foregoing articles.
67
Upon motion of Mr. Robert M. Morgan, duly seconded, it was Voted unanimously: To pass over the article.
Upon motion of Mr. Magoun, duly seconded, it was Voted: To adjourn the meeting - at 10:30 P. M.
