Holmes as Clerk. Three public hearings were set for receipt and discussion of budgets requests for 1975. These meetings were held January 10, 13 and 17, 1975. All public hearings were held in the upstairs hall with most budget material available for the very small group of interested citizens in attendance. The Budget Committee was very disappoint- ed at the little interest shown by the public in not attending these meetings. The budgets of the Recreation Department, including Skating Rinks, District Nurse, Fire Department, Library and Water and Sewer Department were presented at the first meeting. Two specials were also presented, being for a New Water Truck and Replace- ment of the Moose Brook (Jimtown) Bridge Water Line. The bal- ance of the Municipal Budget was presented January 13, 1975. Sev- eral special requests were presented: New Fire Station (two site options). Salt Shed, Salt Spreader, Grading and Tarring Underbill Road (off Bangor St.), Tarring Libby Park Road (if road is accept- ed by town voters), Gorham-Shelburne Line Survey, and additions to previous appropriations for Jimtown Bridge, New Fire Truck and Nev/ Highway Truck. Some of these items will be paid for all or in part by Revenue Sharing Funds. The School Budget was pre- sented at the third meeting which was held at 7:00 p.m. January 17, 1975. The Committee held five executive sessions on January 20, 23, 27 and 30 and February 3, 1975. Both School and Town Budget re- quests were considered carefully and reductions were made in both budgets. The proposed School Budget of $1,156,254.42 was recom- mended, cut by $69,055.43 to a total of $1,087,198.99. The town budg- et request amounted to $856,695.08 with the option of buUding a New Fire Station on the Hunt property, Broadway and using present house for office space, or a budget of $901,695.08 with the option of buying the Sanborn land, Main Street, and erecting a fire station 30 with office facilities thereon. The Budget Committee prefers the Main Street location but is presenting both options to the voters. The budget was cut $11,002.00 mainly in proposed wage increase and proposed fringe benefit increases. The Fire Station would be financed in part from Revenue Shar- ing Funds and the balance by notes. Other items to be financed by Revenue Sharing Funds are: Protection of Persons and Property $ 14,000.00 Tarring Libby Park Road 10,000.00 New Salt Spreader 4,200.00 New Salt Shed 1,200.00 Payment on Municipal Garage Note 20,000.00 Budget forms for school and town budgets were completed and are printed herewith. The Budget Committee adjourned at 8:30 p.m. on February 3, 1975. They will meet May 5, 1975 at 7:00 p.m. at the Town Hall to review expenditures of Town and School for 1975 to that date. ROBERT L.

H. We hereby submit our report of the Gorham Information Booth for the 1974 operating season. The booth, which is financed by the Town of Gorham, N.H. is located on Memorial Park grounds on Main Street. We opened the season Friday, May 24th working from the old booth, but moved into a new modern building June 27th. The new booth was constructed by the Task Force. Our special thanks go to Phil St. Hilaire and Howard Gorham and others for donating their labor. We were open from 9:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. seven days a week with a closing date of October 19, 1974. Again this year there was a substantial decrease in business due to the gasoline shortage and price increase.

DEMERS, R.N. 91 Report of Recreation Director To the people of Gorham: As your Recreation Director, I am responsible for providing you with constructive, positive programs; programs that vi'ill, hopefidly, enhance each individuals personal well being. The budget that is being presented for 1975 is an honest and realistic approach for securing the necessary appropriations essen- tial to providing these constructive programs. All categories have been carefully approached with the areas of utilities, office supplies, and equipment having the greatest increase due to inflationary prices. Any appropriations we have left from the Fuel, Electricity and Transportation categories will be turned back in to the Town General Fund at the end of the year. I have purposely tried to hold line in the various categories. I feel that the increase as well as the decreases that I have proposed are well justified and will constitute a viable, workable financial plan of action. Thank you for your support throughout the past year and I look forward to serving you in the future. Respectfully submitted, DAVID L. FRENCH Dh-ector of Recreation 92 Report of Recreation Commission To the Inhabitants of the Town of Gorham: During the past year we have had a change in our Recreation Director position. Mr. David French became the new Director, re- placing Mr. Ray DLPasquale at the end of August.

The commission is pleased to announce the start of a new program of Arts & Crafts which has been increasing in popularity each week. Also a Fitness Club for teenagers fourteen to eighteen has been established. We are constantly looking forward to improving our programs for the people of Gorham. The Libby Memorial Swimming area needs to be studied as to its financial feasibility in the coming year. The commission will be studying this area very closely and will be looking to improve the existing areas outlook financially. The commissioners wish to express their appreciation to the selectmen, the school board, the superintendent of schools, the school principals, the police department, and the many volunteers who help- ed make our many programs successful. We are pleased to be able to make the statement that we have received a favorable response to our programs from the residents of Gorham.

Libby & Sons Co. in their development at Libby Drive. The Water Department completed the addition of 850 feet of 6-inch water line to the end of Bangor Street. One section of 12-inch water line to Cascade was replaced after being installed two years. Major repairs to the sewer line and canal at Public Service Dike along the Androscoggin River were performed in September. This year the meter in the chlorination plant recorded 169,952,- 000 gallons of water compared to the previous year of 214,930,000 gallons. This decrease of 44,978,000 gallons was mainly due to less use of garden hoses, due to abundant rainfall. The deep well was not used this year. The ground water investigation was completed this year and the possibility of up to two million gallons daily was found to be in the Libby Field area, adjacent to our present water supply. The process of securing the land for this purpose is now being pursued. The average daily use of water this year was 465,622 gallons per day, or 148y2 gallons daily average per person at a cost of $.00035 per gallon. DAVID W. MURPHY CHESTER R.
