The Finance Committee is unanimously of the opinion that as soon as possible all expenses of the Town including those for repairs, replacements, and additions, should be con- fined within current receipts i. e. or "a pay as you go" basis, and that only major projects should be financed over a term of years. In general terms a borrowing of $16.000.00 increases the tax rate $100.00 for interest each year.


This Committee believes that greater harmony and co- operation among the members of the Board of Public Welfare would result in greater efficiency and economy in the adminis- tration of that department. Even with the greatest efficiency. that department will continue for some time to be a heavy and costly tax burden. It is urged that any citizen having knowl- edge of fraud on the part of recipients report such facts to the Board of Public Welfare.


Your Committee respectfully calls your attention to the fact that the total of this year's budget is $136,170.50 a decrease of $3,767.40 from last year's recommendations.


The amount of uncollected taxes as of January 1, 1934 was $117,883.50, as compared with $99,625.73 of January 1, 1933, and of uncollected water bills was $7,988.78 as compared with $5,611.34.


Outstanding tax titles December 31, 1933 were $15,850.88 as compared with outstanding tax titles of December 31, 1932, of $11,799.58.
