Not every North 40 sign is about saving the Wellesley property

A Swellesley reader and former Town Meeting member has posted this sign on her door, looking to rent rooms to help pay for an anticipated tax increase if the town goes ahead with its proposed $35 million purchase of the North 40 property from Wellesley College. The town is looking to pay in part through a Proposition 2.5 debt exclusion, a topic that will be discussed at this week’s Town Meeting.

The house shown is not in the North 40 neighborhood, which has been dotted for months with Save the North 40 signs by those seeking to preserve the open space.
