Article 47. To see if the Town will appropriate and assess the sum of $850.00 to purchase a truck for the Highway De- partment, or do or act.
The Finance Committee is advised that the truck now in use is a 1934 model, has been driven about 50,000 miles and has reached a point where the High- way Department feels that it can no longer be eco- nomically operated, and that if this truck is purchased no additional truck will be needed for two years.
The Finance Committee, therefore, recommends that there be appropriated and assessed $850.00 for the purchase of a new truck by the Highway Depart- ment with the approval of the Board of Selectmen.
Article 48. To see if the Town will authorize the Sur- veyor of Highways, with the approval of the Board of Select-
32
men, to sell, trade, or otherwise dispose of the 1934 Ford 11/2 ton truck, or do or act.
In view of the recommendation in the previous article, the Finance Committee recommends that the Highway Surveyor, with the approval of the Board of Selectmen, be authorized to sell, trade, or otherwise dispose of the 1934 11/2 ton truck.
Article 49. To see if the Town will appropriate and assess the sum of two hundred fifty ($250) dollars to erect a dam and screen at the outlet of Dudley Pond, or do or act.
The purpose of the article is to enable a proper level to be maintained in Dudley Pond throughout the summer for bathing and health purposes.
The Finance Committee recommends the appro- priation of $250.00 for the erection of a dam and screen at the outlet of Dudley Pond, the work to be done under the supervision of the Highway Surveyor.
Article 50. To see if the Town will appropriate and assess the sum of $370.00 to pay 1934, 1935 and 1936 bills presented by the Estate of Dr. Earle F. Prior, for services rendered wel- fare patients, or do or act.
This is a claim for services over which there is some dispute as to the legality and is one which the Finance Committee feels should be investigated.
The Finance Committee, therefore, recommends that there be a committee of three composed of one member of the Welfare Board selected by the Welfare Board, one Selectman chosen by the Board of Select- men, and the Town Counsel, to investigate the matter with authority to make such adjustment, if any, as it finds proper, any funds necessary to be taken from the general budget appropriation of the Welfare Depart- ment.
Article 51. To see if the Town will appropriate a sum not exceeding two hundred ($200) dollars for repairs on High Street and Brackett Road.
In Article 41 of the Warrant for the Annual Town Meeting of March 2, 1936, the Finance Com- mittee recommended that these roads be established as town ways provided all legal requirements for their acceptance had been complied with and no land dam-
33
ages were involved. The necessary steps for their acceptance as town ways have not been taken and the roads remain private ways. The spending of public money on private ways is contrary to long established precedent.
The Finance Committee, therefore, does not rec- ommend the approval of this article.
Article 52. To see if the Town will authorize the Moth Superintendent, with the approval of the Board of Selectmen, to sell, trade, or otherwise dispose of the present tree spraying equipment.
This equipment is 24 years old and no longer ser- viceable. Provision has been made in the budget for the purchase of new equipment.
The Finance Committee, therefore, recommends the approval of this article.
Article 53. To see what sum, if any, the Town will vote to transfer from available funds to meet any of the appropria- tions made under the foregoing articles.
The Finance Committee recommends the approval of such action as may be suggested by the Town Treasurer.
And you are required to serve this Warrant by posting copies thereof, attested by you, at the Town Hall, at each Post Office in Town, and at the Legion Hall, at Cochituate, seven days, at least, before the time of holding said election.
Hereof, fail not, and make due return of this Warrant with your doings thereon to the Town Clerk on or before March 7, 1938.
Given under our hands and seal this sixteenth day of Feb- ruary, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and thirty-eight.
HERMAN F. ALLEN, Chairman, CHESTER H. HOBBS, Clerk, J. FRED WHEELER, Selectmen of the Town of Wayland.

REPORT OF THE FINANCE COMMITTEE
The Town of Wayland is caught in the general current of increasing cost of government.
Some of this increased expense such as that for the Mid- dlesex County Hospital is beyond our control. Other expenses are forced upon us by general economic conditions and by State and Federal law. Particularly is this true with all forms of aid and relief. The generous example set by the State and Federal governments naturally reflects itself in the attitude and demands of the beneficiaries of relief and in the consequent difficulty of local administration. But this influence could in part be coun- teracted by increased interest, constructive criticism, and sug- gestion on the part of the citizens as a whole. It would seem that a committee of properly qualified citizens could well be organized to focus the citizens' interest, to study the entire local aid and relief problem, and to make recommendations to the respective authorities. It is further felt that this committee could be more independent and effective if entirely composed of non-office holders. The magnitude of this problem locally is illustrated by the fact that during 1937 $40,000 of Town money, or about $10 on the tax rate, went for these purposes in addi- tion to which the State and Federal governments contributed between $50,000 and $60,000. The 1937 cost in local money was an increase of about $6,000 over that of 1936, and the 1938 tax levy will have to provide for a further increase of about $13,000.
There is a second type of increased expenditure in the 1938 budget and articles of the warrant, matters which have been accumulating over a period of years, which have now come to a head and have been presented in proper form for action. These include the Town Hall repairs and renovations, Fire Alarm System for Cochituate, Sewerage System for the Cochituate School, a new well for the water system, and other lesser items. These aggregate a total expenditure of about $25,000 of which
35
it is recommended that $15,000 be reflected in the tax rate, and $10,000 deferred to other years.
The third type of increase is that caused by the steadily mounting costs of certain departments and services. For 1938, the increase over 1937 amounts to about $10,000 of which about $2,800 represents the increased assessment for Middlesex County Hospital.
The above increases recommended as applicable to the 1938 tax levy taken together amount to about $38,000 and it is esti- mated that they will account for approximately $9.50 on the tax rate. It is impossible to estimate the tax rate at this early date due to the uncertainty of the amount to be received under Estimated Receipts and to changes in the current assessments. But on the basis of the figures being the same as last year a rate in the vicinity of $34 to $35 is indicated-as contrasted with last year's figure of $25.30.
The Finance Committee budget for the year 1938 is as follows :
