DEBT LIMIT FOR TOWN OF FRANKLIN


Following is a computation of the amount which the Town may legally borrow in addition to its present debt as allowed under Chapter 44, Section 10, G.L., which reads in part as follows:


"A town shall not authorize indebtedness to an amount ex- ceeding five per cent, on the average of the assessors' valuation of the taxable property for the three preceding years, the valuations being first reduced by the amount of all abatements allowed thereon previous to December thirty-first of the pre- ceding years; provided that the value of motor vehicles and trailers taxable under Chapter Sixty A, as determined there- under, shall be used in determining the valuation of taxable property for the purposes of this section. All authorized debts except those expressly authorized by law to incurred outside the debt limit, shall be reckoned in determining its limit of indebtedness under this section."
