Article 24. To see if the Town will assess and appropriate a sum of money for support of athletics as now carried on for the boys in connection with the high school, or do or act.

The Finance Committee recommends the approval of this article, the appropriation not to exceed $3,000.00 and the work to be done under the direction of the Board of Health, the labor to be done by the unemployed, provided that all ease- ment and necessary release of property or land damage be secured without expense to the Town.

The Town now holds tax titles on 82 pieces of property and more properties will be sold in the immediate future unless the taxes are paid. The Town Treasurer is able to collect the taxes in many instances where tax titles have been taken, but this necessitates delay and puts the Town to additional expense.
Many tax payers of the Town have the habit of slow tax payment. Where most towns have the current year's taxes collected to within 20 percent of the commitment by December 31st, our Town is in the position of having about 40 percent of its commitment uncollected on December 31st. In addition to this, the amount of uncollected taxes of the years preceding the current year has greatly increased in the last four years as shown by the figures given above.
Tax collections are the sole basis on which banks fix the interest rate when loaning money to a town. Consequently the Town of Wayland was forced to pay 6 percent in its Anticipa- tion of Tax Collection Notes in 1932; whereas most other towns were able to borrow at a far better rate of interest. Wellesley borrowed last year at 68/100 of 1 percent from their
18
local bank and recently borrowed at 69/100 of 1 percent from the Second National Bank of Boston. Our Town Treasurer with the approval of our Selectmen generally borrows from the Natick banks; however in 1932 the Town did borrow from a Boston concern but was forced to pay the same high rate of interest for the same reason.
If our unpaid taxes had amounted to only 20 percent of the commitment on December 31st, 1932, and if there had not been the unpaid back taxes, the Town would have been able to borrow its money in 1933 for 2 percent or better.
In 1933 there are $60,000 of notes to be met from the collections of the $99,625.27 unpaid taxes now overdue.
In view of the high rate of interest which the Town is forced to pay on its notes and the $60,000 of notes which have to be met, the Finance Committee recommends that the Tax Collector rigidly enforce the payment of taxes by the use of all the legal rights of the Town.
The Water Department has not reached a self-sustaining position. An appropriation of $5,277.99 had to be made for water main extension notes in 1932 and the sum of $3500 will have to be appropriated in 1933. This is a burden on all tax- payers of the Town in addition to the $3000 appropriated by the Town for hydrant service.
Many extensions have been made which are far from being self-supporting.
Uncollected water bills amount to $5,611.34. These un- collected bills are a further burden on all taxpayers and an indirect burden on all persons paying rent in the Town.
The Water Department reports that until specific repairs are made and new wells added no more extension service can be supplied with water. During the past summer months there were times when by twenty-four hour operation of the pumps barely three feet of water could be maintained in the tank.
The Finance Committee recommends :
1. That there be a more strict enforcement of payment of water bills. That water be shut off when bills are over- due and that the taker be charged with the expense. That the enforcement of the lien against the real estate be resorted to when necessary to enforce collection. That bills be rendered quarterly instead of semi-annually (believing that it will be easier for takers to pay a smaller amount ) .
19
2. That in future a more careful investigation of proposed extensions be made in regard to expense and sure income.
3. That the Water Department be put on a self-sustaining basis as to cost of extensions, replacements, retirement of bonds, payment of interest and all other expenses of the Department.
Those using water should realize that water wasted is money wasted and means taxable expense.
The Welfare Department is having unprecedented demands made upon it and it has become one of the Town's most expensive departments. The Finance Committee favor and recommend that a suitable person be appointed at an annual salary of $600 whose duty it shall be to investigate properly and thoroughly all applications, to follow-up systematically all cases, to keep proper records and to make necessary reports of the department.
The Welfare Department this year requests $14,000 for General Welfare and $6500 for Old Age Assistance.
With such an amount of money involved this Department should be organized for the greatest efficiency and economy, as at best the burden is heavy.
There should be close and intelligent cooperation between the Welfare Department and other Departments employing the men. The placing and employing of men from the Welfare Department should be carefully planned and supervised in regard to persons employed, extent of employment and work to be done so that the largest number of people will be aided and the taxpayers will receive the greatest possible benefit for the money expended.
The Finance Committee recommend a credit wage of $2.75 per day for this labor.
Unemployment Labor. The Finance Committee recom- mends that the Clerk of the Welfare Department act as Director of Unemployment Labor and that the wages paid for such labor employed on Town projects be $2.75 per day.
It should be kept in mind that probably all of the taxpayers have had their incomes reduced or stopped so that the additional tax burden caused by the Welfare Department and unemploy- ment labor means a very real hardship to the majority of those supplying the money for this work.
20
Expenditures in General. The Town has already indebted- ness of $102,300 on which it is paying interest. The Finance Committee believe that the erection of new school buildings and any other project not necessary to provide work, worthy and needed as the projects may be, should be postponed until our tax collections and our Excess and Deficiency Fund are in shape so that the Town can borrow the money required on a better basis than at present ; also until the taxpayers are better able to bear the increased burden, as every thousand dollars added to appropriations means an increase in the tax rate of about twenty cents.
We are informed that the Town may expect to receive at least one third less from the State and County than was received last year.
The Finance Committee urges thoughtful and intelligent consideration of these facts by the citizens and departments of the Town as this Committee feels that the Town is in no condi- tion to do anything except that which is absolutely necessary and that that must be done with the greatest efficiency and economy.

3. The Finance Committee recommends that the Assessors per diem wage rate be reduced 10%.
4. The Finance Committee recommends that the Chief of Police salary be $1,620.00 per year and that he assumes the duties as Dog Officer.
5. The Finance Committee recommends that the Safe in the Water Department be transferred to the Tax Collector's Department for his use ..
6. The Finance Committee recommends that the wages of Town labor as required by the Statutes be fixed by the various department heads not in excess of the rate paid by the State.
7. Th Finance Committee recommends that the income from the dog taxes be given to the following-one-half to the School Educational Fund and one-half to the Library Fund.
Based upon the figures and recommendations of the Finance Committee the tax rate will be approximately $27.00 per thousand.
