Chairman Price stated the meeting had been called for the specific purpose of budget review and he had asked the Superinten- dent to prepare possible budget cuts for the Board' s consideration. The Superintendent stated he had prepared two proposals. The first was developed maintaining a budget in keeping with the 4% cap and recommending a Special Article for Road Reconstruction and drainage work on Franklin Street to be presented to Town Meet- ing in the sum of $275,000 and cuts in various accounts totalling $331 ,950 a copy of which is attached hereto. The second proposal is based on the concept that the Public Works Budget could go up at the rate of 12% based on the cost of living. This would require cutting approximately $187,650 out of the budget copy of which is attached hereto.
