the public hearing on town budgets Thurs day night was the center of consid erable conversation yesterday Town employes emphasized that the issu ance of permits for new buildings totaling $255776 last year will give the town enough additional taxable property to make up for the reduc tions Moreover the owners of the properties on which valuations have been lowered will not have to pay as much in taxes Some of the members of the finance committee it is known would like to see the tax rate reduced at least $1 from the present rate of $37 on $1000 The principal cause of the raise was the' amount of money re quired to meet public welfare de mands but the rate was kept down to about $34 during depression years by borrowing on the future Last year officials decided this was an un sound policy
