Finance Board Restores 283000 to Town Budget
The Board of Finance, voting unanimously, restores 283000 of its cuts in the 1973-74 town budget, including 150000 to education. The panel reduced the original 1973-74 budget cut from 831757 to 548747, granting most restoration requests while citing tax rate stability and avoiding tying the school budget to Bedford Elementary closure.
