Finance Committee <br /> October 4, 1989 <br /> Page 4. <br /> Article 25 - This article deals with the building of the police station. <br /> Selectman Lawrence stated the position of the Selectmen regarding <br /> new building projects. The Selectmen are of the opinion that the <br /> town should continue on with the major projects that the town is <br /> into as far as building procedures. If the town is going out to <br /> bid and the architectural work has been done then the town should <br /> continue on, but hold back on those projects that are not <br /> started i.e. the fire station. The town is already into the <br /> police station, town hall and landfill. <br /> This article will involve debt issuance costs, however the costs <br /> will not be in this fiscal year. <br /> Article 26 - This article is by petition. It concerns the layout of roads in <br /> the John's Pond area and the assessment of betterments. The <br /> interest costs will also be put back to the home owners. $5,000 <br /> is the amount that will have to be transferred. <br /> Article 27 - This article concerns Stabilization.
