Dotson of the Finance Committee appeared before the Board. Selectman Mahana read a'letter from the School Committee dated February 3rd in which the School Committee requests that the Town Election include referenda to exempt new debt as well as a 2-10 override. Mr. Dotson stated that the Finance Committee's informal concensus was to go with the override on new debt only, as they are concerned with the possible $141,000 surplus which might then be spent at Town Meeting. Supt. argued that the voters should be given the option to approve the 22 override, as he does not foresee any change in the proposed School budget of $6,650,000. The Board prefers to exempt new debt only. A final decision is delayed until later in the meeting.
