During 1936, Wayland received $53,000 for labor and $27,000 in commissary supplies for the Welfare Department. Much of the labor was employed on permanent work such as water lines. If this money had been assessed in the Town, it would have added about $16 to the tax rate .


The Welfare Department should be somewhat relieved this year by the transfer of some persons formerly on the welfare list to Old Age Assistance and to Mother's Aid for which the Town receives partial reimbursement from the State and Fed- eral governments. There was received last year under the Old Age Assistance Act from the Federal Government the sum of $1,767.62 which is available for use this year, and such monies as are received this year under the Act can be used during the current year. This should provide for approximately half of the total cost of this department. The Finance Committee believes that greater economy should be obtained in the manage- ment of these departments by the employment of one man who shall do the investigating, keep the records, attend to necessary reports, make prompt and proper billings to other towns and cities and to the Federal and State offices and to such other matters as the efficient management of a department of this


20


kind requires. The funds for the employment of such a person are recommended in the Finance Committee's budget report.


The $5000 note due this year on the High School will be provided for by the unused balance of the Federal grant.


An increased appropriation for street lighting is recom- mended by the Finance Committee this year that some new lights may be supplied on the east and west sides of Dudley Pond.


The Town of Wayland owned on January 1, 1937, through tax title foreclosure or holds tax title to 123 pieces of property with a total valuation of $213,050 and representing $25,133.75 of unpaid taxes. Uncollected taxes exceeded $90,000 more. Taxes for 1936 were only 57% collected at the first of the year.


A large amount of taxable personal property has been removed from Town during the past two years and almost no new property has been added. There are scores of good prop- erties for sale and only five new houses have been started. There must be a reason. Other nearby towns are enjoying very considerable new building, renovation and general property improvement. The Finance Committee bespeaks the immediate effort of the residents, taxpayers, our Town Officers and De- partments to make Wayland attractive to home owners. This Committee believes that adequate money is being expended, but that there should be greater efficiency in the spending of it. Much could be accomplished by careful planning and considera- tion of costs and actual benefits to be received and by a greater co-operation and co-ordination between officers and departments, especially those departments which are so closely related in their work as the following: (1) W. P. A., Welfare and Old Age Assistance; (2) Water Department and Tax Collection Department, with reference to the collection of water liens; (3) Water Department and Fire Department with reference to fire protection.
