Whereas, the annual levy of the Town of Lincoln, as of other municipalities of the Commonwealth, has under the head of State and County taxation rapidly increased during recent years and now averages to the family unit
19
$55. per year, as compared with $32 in 1909, and $24 in 1895, and moreover, this burden judging from all ac- cessible indications, is likely still further to increase: and
Whereas, also, it is obvious that the above rate of increase, if general, cannot go on indefinitely without affecting prejudically the continued prosperity of the Commonwealth; therefore,
Voted, That the attention of our Senators and Repre- sentatives in the Great and General Court and of all other officials of the Commonwealth be called to the fact above stated; and they be requested, and when representative be instructed rigidly to systematize and revise all items of public expenditure, with a view to a reduction of the same; or, if reduction should in any given case be either impracticable or undesirable, to avoiding any further increase thereof.
Voted, That in the judgment of the Town of Lincoln the maximum of safe public expenditure has now been more than reached, and any increase thereof cannot fail to be detrimental to the community.
Voted, That the Town Clerk be instructed to cause the foregoing votes to be printed, and duly authenticated copies of the same to be forwarded to members of the Council, the Senator and the Representative of the respective Districts in which Lincoln is included, as also to the officers of the Executive Department of the Commonwealth, to the Senators and Representatives generally of Middlesex County, to the County officials, and to the Treasurers and Assessors of the several towns of said county.
Voted, That the Town Reports, the Treasurer's books, and the vouchers of the Town expenses since 1910 be
20
examined by an expert accountant, employed by the Board of Selectmen for the purpose and the results tabulated. The purpose of such investigation being to enable the average tax-payer to inform himself as to the details of the income and outgo of the Town during the period specified, the sources from which revenues were derived, and the exact use made of those revenues, the annual percentages of increase or decrease in each con- siderable item of outgo being set forth.
ART. 23. Voted, To accept the provisions of any Act or Acts thereto enabling the Town to provide by By-Laws or otherwise for issuing local licenses to junk dealers.
Voted, To adjourn.
