Specific questions were avoided as residents recalled reasons prompting their decisions before last Tuesday's rejection. A new homeowner from Emerson Street said he opposed the original budget because he could not afford the tax increases.

He called on the Board to postpone spending until high debt payments are passed.

The long-time resident countered that a parent would not forsake groceries and vitamins for a year, but could knock off pleasures and recreation. He complimented the Board for its minimal proposals. NO PROGRAMS PLANNED Board President Furman K. Stanley noted that school trustees had not tried to accomplish any programs within a year's time.
