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 />
or not they wanted his land. Otherwise he will sell<br />
to an individual.<br />
Mrs. Louisa Berry asked how the town proposed<br />
to pay for this land. Reply : By direct taxation.<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 />
not all<br />
day parking caused by car pools.<br />
Mr. J. Mahon asked the Selectmen when the<br />
property will be sold if the assembly votes favorably.<br />
Reply: As soon as possible.<br />
Mr. James Rush said that only in the summer<br />
months was there need for extra parking. It seemed<br />
that $26,300 was expensive for such a<br />
of<br />
time.<br />
short period
