The moderator announced the following: "Recommenda- tions of the Finance Committee are to be considered as motions and said motions duly seconded. Substitute motions may be presented from the floor. Do not be abusive to each other. Recommendations of the Finance Committee are available, and I am sure you all have a copy before you."
The moderator recognized Mr. Dumas, a member of the Finance Committee.
Mr. Dumas stated: "Again, this year, because this report must be submitted for printing deadline before receipt of the "Cherry Sheet" from the State Department of Corporations and Taxation, it is not possible to truly, accurately estimate the 1965 tax rate. It is the "Cherry Sheet" that states what the town must raise for various State and County taxes, as well as telling us what our share of State apportioned receipts will be."
"We estimate that there will be a tax-rate increase of ap- proximately $1.00 or $1.50, from $91.20 due primarily to in- creased departmental budget increases. We hope that you will approve our recommendations this evening."
ARTICLE 1. To hear and act on the reports of the Town Officers:
The moderator did read the action taken on Article 74 at the annual town meeting of March 16, 1964.
"Article 74. VOTED: To continue the existence of the twenty-five member representative Town Meeting Committee adopted at the Special Town Meeting held on December 10, 1962 until the annual town meeting at which the town will act by ballot upon the issue of the change to a Representative Town Meeting form of government. At this time, the Town Counsel gave his ruling to the moderator. The moderator read his ruling: The Representative Town Meeting Committee is no longer in existence as a committee of the town.

The moderator requested delayed action of Article 4. Said action on Article 4 would establish the amount of free cash to be used by the Assessors in setting the tax rate, stating that this should depend on appropriations made on subsequent articles.
In the interim, R. C. Arpin, Assessor, had presented the following substitute motion: That the sum of $160,000.00 from the Free Cash in the Treasury be used by the Board of Asses- sors in computing the tax rate for 1965.
