HAMPTON TOWN REPORT 47<br />

thought of the Board to reduce the Tax Rate as<br />

much as possible. If property is sold it lis up to the<br />

Tax Commission to make decision.<br />

Mr. Colt asked why it was so imperative that<br />

the purchase of the Swain property be voted this<br />

year. Mr. Hackett replied that Mr. Swain gave the<br />

Selectmen and the Town 90 days to decide whether<br />

Mr. Charles Wallace said various financial aspects<br />

had been discussed, but do we really need the<br />

parking area. He said that he had never been unable<br />

to find a parking space in the present lot.<br />

The Town Manager said that in his opinion the<br />

space was not needed right now, but that it would<br />

definitely be needed in the future. A shopping center<br />

and parking space must be provided or people<br />

will shop elsewhere.<br />

Mr. Chester Mullen asked how the town could<br />

expand any more in the centre.<br />

Mr. John Doheny said that in his opinion the<br />

Parking Lot should be used for live parking, and<br />

Reply: As soon as possible.<br />

that $26,300 was expensive for such a<br />

of<br />

time.<br />
