Town council adopts tight 1975 76 budget plan
The town council released a provisional operating budget of 6 973 222 for 1975 76 with no salary increases to avoid layoffs and major tax hikes. It trims the administrator's proposal by over 270 000 and leaves town employees without raises since 1972 73, citing the economic situation and unemployment. A public hearing is set for Wednesday at 8 in the Colt School Auditorium, with final adoption by May and a petition option ending May 29 for a special town meeting.
