1963 - Lane Memorial Library

HAMPTON TOWN REPORT 19
In view of the fact that we have the $80,000
Police Station to pay for in 1963, the Budget Committee
thought that this was one area wherein savings
could be made and expenditures postponed until
a future time and therefore the only items that
were approved were $1,800 for a Police Station Wagon
and $7,000 for a Dump Truck and Plow and $850
for 5 new Fire Alarm Boxes. This makes a total expenditure
for new equipment of $9,650 as compared
with requests from the Selectmen of $32,450 for
this
year.
2. Payment on Principal of Debt.
There is a reduction of $6,666 on the payment
of Principal of Debt due to the fact that the library
notes were retired at the end of 1962 and also the
final payment on the Grist Mill was made in 1962.
Page A-12 shows the anticipated receipts of
$229,579 for 1963.
We have spent many hundreds of hours going
through this budget item by item and there are many
many more sub-accounts, and it is our recommendation
that the budget of $726,069 be adopted at this
Town Meeting.
Respectfully submitted,
DAVID B. DRUMMOND,
Chairman
Municipal Budget Committee
Mr. Drummond made the motion that the sum
of $525,069 be raised and appropriated for the annual
budget. Seconded by Wilfred Cunningham.
($1,000 which was approved for Article 19 to be
voted under that Article.)
