Meeting opened at 7:50 p.m. by Moderator, Herbert A. Lincoln, with a quorum present. (275)
Article 17. The following motion was made by Clarke Atwater: "I move that the Town raise and appropriate the sum of $35,000 to enable the Board of Assessors, by employing outside valuation consultants to provide equitable valuation of real and personal property, and to cause to be installed an assessment system, and in the name of the Town to request the State Tax Commission to accept the system pursuant to the provisions of General Laws, Chapter 58, Sections 7A and 7D." He said the Assessors were not in favor. Mr. Allen spoke of need of re- assessment and stated the Assessors could do the job better for less money. Mr. Standish spoke in favor of outside appraisers to correct inequities - new properties get larger assessments - and offered amended article: "I move that the words "to expend from available funds" be substituted for the words "to raise and appropriate" in the first line of Article 17 as printed in the warrant." Mr. Barron asked for explanation from Assessors. Mr. Benner presented an amendment to take the place of the regular Article 17 as follows: "I move the following amendment be substituted for the main motion under Article 17. That a Committee of seven persons be appointed by the Selectmen for the following purposes:
To study the State laws regarding the assessment of real estate and personal property, and the requirements of the state in regard to Assessors maps, records and system of assessing; and to bring in a brief and concise written summary of the same, to be read at a town meeting.
To study the present assessing records, system, and maps of our town.

That the Committee consist only of appointees who are willing and able to devote their time free of charge to the town for this service.
That the town raise and appropriate the sum of $500 for the use of this committee.
