TOWN TREASURER'S REPORT

To the residents and taxpayers of Greenfield, NewHampshire I respectfully submit my second annual report

as your Town Treasurer.Again, we had to borrow more money in anticipation

of taxes. In 1970, we borrowed $115,000.00, however in 1971,we had to borrow $125,000.00. We therefore, had to paymore interest due to a higher amount, and of course, highinterest rates.

PLANNING BOARDANNUAL REPORT FOR TOWN MEETING

MARCH 7, 1972

The Planning Board has become a very importantand busy department of our town government.

After Town Meeting of 1971 the sewer problem wasout of our hands, at least unJtil it was voted to construct

a sewage reduction plant. It was voted to begin serious

work on a Building Code, a subject which had been tabled

in May 1970 because this is a very complicated matter andrequires much study. A mobile home regulation was also

discussed. A state or national code may be required to

simplify this problem.

Early in April an application was received for theestablishing of a camp ground for trailers and tents. It

was determined that such an enterprise is permitted in

Zone B by the Zoning Ordinance. Therefore, it becameurgent to establsih a code of regulations, rather than al-

low such an activity to be started without any controls

whatever. This subject, therefore, became our priority.

Also, since it seemed logical to separate camping frompermanent type moble homes, we felt it advisable to work

70

on regulations for boith at the same time. These twin pro-jects took most of our time until late summer.

In the meantime, as the summer progressed, manycomplaimts were received about the situation at our twotown beaches — Zephyr and Sunset — the fact that local

citizens were being crowded out by outsiders, that therewas no supervision, that there was much littering anddisorder. The Selectmen finally called a joint meetingwith the Recreation Committee and the Planning Board.As a result, the Selectmen took emergency action by is-

suing a temporary regulation, engaging part-time police

supervision, and ordering the making and posting of

signs. Also, the Selectmen instructed the Rianning Boardto draw up a permanent regulation for submission at theMarch 1972 Town Meeting. The beach regulation thusbeoajme the third part of our urgent work, aJlthough this

proposal as submitted waJs practically the same at the

previous emergency regulation.

These activities required much discussion and study,especially as we were r^uested to have them fully form-ulated by October, so as to hold the necessary public hear-ings before the hecltic ac'tivities of January and Februarywould begin. This has been done, and the three proposalsare now up to the voters.

In spare moments work has begun on a consolidationand, hopefully, an abbreviation of our various zoning or-

dinances and regula'tionis so that they will be more com-prehensible to interested persons. This is not intended to

change any regulations as they now stand and will notrequire voter approval. When approved by the RanningBoard and the Selectmen, it is hoped that a new prihtingcan be made and furnished to all interested parties. Th.is

is badly needed.

We are probably right now on the brink of manychanges in Greenfield. There are already many transfersof property and miany inquiries. We are fortunate in al-

ready having on our books enough regulations to helpassure an orderly expansion, but much more still needsto be done, and time is shor't.

Greenfield Ranning BoardT. T. McDonald, Chairman

GREENFIELD RECREATION COMMITTEE

This is my final year on the Recreation Committee,for the time being. In the meantime, I hope that the or-

ganization will still be going strong.

Day trips for the Elementary children included the

White Mountains, tour of Hopkins Grain Mill, Jewel Ani-

mal Farm, Quellettes Bird Farm and a picnic and naturewalk at Frasers. The balance of funds not used on the

day trips were used for the field day the last day of school.

About 15-20 youngsters were given swimming lessons

by personnel at Camp Union.

New signs were posted regarding regulations of the

Town Beach at Sunset and Zephyr Lake. Plans are being

made for the issuance of stickers to regulate and control

the flow of traffic at the beaches.

The Whing Ding was again a huge success, due main-ly to the wonderful group of people who helped me planand organize this event. Proceeds of this went to helpwith the annual Halloween and Christmas parties. Mythanks to the Elementary School children and teachers

for their help with the Christmas party.

It is my sincere hope that more people be involved in

workmg with the Recreation Committee in planningevents for the young people of this community.
