Report of the Finance Committee
To the Voters of the Town of Pepperell :
The Finance Committee submits, herewith, its recom- mendations for the year 1949.
It has been the aim of this Committee, to endeavor to keep the 1949 Tax Rate as low as possible without lowering the present standards of operating the various Depart- ments of the Town.
Any increase in the appropriations over what we rec- ommend will increase the Tax Rate approximately 33c for every $1,000.00 raised and appropriated.
