To demand full funding of PILT payments from the federal government for federally owned lands,
To control property taxes, personal income tax, and to see that the tax dollars are spent efficiently."

Biography
William Prescot was born in Gilmanton, New Hampshire, December 29, 1788. He was indentured to a farmer at sixteen years of age, received few educational advantages, taught, studied medicine, and in 1815 graduated at Dartmouth Medical School. He practised in Gilmanton and Lynn, and served in both branches of the legislature. Dr. Prescott was an enthusiastic collector of minerals and shells, and was a member of many literary and scientific societies. He died in New Haven, Connecticut, on October 18, 1875.
The SCC was out in force at Prescott Hill Climb over the 1st and 2nd Ocober. 8 steamers were present and most of them climbed the hill in cavalcade. But the big event was the inauguration of the Steam Car Club of Great Britain Hill Climb Championship when Basil Craske in his model R and Mark Drake in his model 740 roadster set times for the ascent. These will be the times to beat next year.
Special thanks must be given to Ian Patton, of the Bugatti Owners Club without whom this event wouldn't have happened. Ian and his team of scrutineers, marshalls and stewards were very enthusiastic and helpful throughout Thank you, Ian.
