Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2013 http://archive.org/details/annualreportofto1984raym /f V DEDICATED TO THE MEMORY OF GORDON A CAMMETT, SR. The Board of Selectmen hereby dedicates the 1984 Annual Report to the memory of Gordon A. Cammett, Sr., in commemoration of the service given by him to our town. It is our feeling that Gordon held a special love for Raymond, which he showed by committing himself to helping others publicly in his tenure as a Selectman and privately in his dealings with the individual citizens of our community. Gordon engraved himself into the character and history of Raymond during his lifetime with his own unique humor and character. The record ot many of his actions will live on. as will our memories of him. Although a loss has been buttered with Gordon's passing, the recognition of his place as a part of Raymond's heritage is assured. \ ANNUAL REPORT Of The Selectmen, Treasurer, Highway Agent Town Clerk/Collector of Taxes Examination and Audit and the School Board of the Town of RAYMOND NEW HAMPSHIRE For the Year Ending December 31 1984 PRINTED BY: Withey press Seabrook, New Hampshire V^ (603) 474-5591 J TABLE OF CONTENTS Town Officers 5 Report of 1984 Town Meeting 7 Ambulance Association 28 Building Inspector's Report 29 Civil Defense 30 Southern New Hampshire Planning Commission 31 Dispatch Center 32 Police Department 32 Fire Department 34 Forest Ranger 35 Highway Agent 35 Recreation Commission 36 Exeter Area Visiting Nurse 38 Dudley Tucker Library 39 Employee Wages 40 General Fund Revenues 43 Statement of Revenues 47 Vital Statistics 49 School Report 55 Warrant and Budget Center Section V TOWN OFFICERS James R.
