Article 29. To see if the Town will vote to authorize the Town Treasurer as Custodian of property acquired by the Town through foreclosure of tax titles to demolish, with the approval of the Selectmen, any buildings or other structures thereon.
The authorization called for in this article is necessary for the proper handling of foreclosed prop-
21
erty and is similar to that granted in other communi- ties.
The Finance Committee therefore recommends the approval of this article.
Article 30. 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 Treas- urer.
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 to this Warrant with your doings thereon to the Town Clerk on or before March 6, 1939.
Given under our hands and seal this thirteenth day of Feb- ruary in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and thirty-nine.
HERMAN F. ALLEN, CHESTER H. HOBBS, J. FRED WHEELER, Selectmen of the Town of Wayland.

REPORT OF THE FINANCE COMMITTEE
The increased cost of government, which the Finance Com- mittee has previously brought to the attention of the Town, has now become a matter for most serious consideration. This situation has been brought about by the extreme increase in the State tax and the decline in the estimated income to be received from the State which the Town will be obliged to face this year, a net increase from about $7,000 in 1938 to a probable $29,000 in 1939. The additional burden of an estimated $22,000 will add about $4.00 to this year's tax rate. This increase in the State tax overshadows all other considerations and is the basic factor underlying the Finance Committee recommendations as to the budget and as to the articles. It is self-evident that in a year in which the cost to the Town of this one item will be up $22,000 the Town has no funds for anything except bare neces- sities.
The tax rate last year was $32.60, an increase of $7.30 over the previous year. From the best information available the rate for 1939 even on the basis of Finance Committee recommenda- tions will be in the vicinity of last year's rate.
There is no doubt that the present tax burden is beyond the capacity of many taxpayers to carry and the best efforts of every citizen of the Town must be exerted toward a lightening of the load. If the tax rate is to be lowered, great care must be exer- cised by department heads in the preparation of their budgets, and of equal importance, the voters should use every care to avoid the insertion of articles in the warrant calling for the ex- penditure of funds in any amount, large or small, which are not of immediate necessity or of importance to a considerable part of the community.
The budget contains a limited number of recommended in- creases all of which arise out of a change over last year in the status of the departments involved. The increase in the School Department is due primarily to a definite increase in the school population necessitating the employment of additional teachers. Under Maturing Debt there is an item of a note of $5,000 on the
23
High School, this being the first year in which the budget has reflected the full force of the payment of the note. Due to a new State law the work of the Registrars has been completely changed requiring the taking of an annual census and the carry- ing out this year of a full re-registration of voters. The new item under District Nurse arises through the fact that the group which formerly raised through voluntary contributions the trans- portation expense of the nurse has found it almost impossible to continue to secure as contributions the necessary funds.
The Finance Committee is constantly surveying the Town's expenses and would more than welcome any suggestions by any citizen of the Town as to any services which might be curtailed or any expenditures which might be reduced.
The Finance Committee budget for the year 1939 is as fol- lows :

The Finance Committee is very appreciative of the assist- ance it has received in the preparation of the budget and articles. The heads of the various departments have been highly coopera- tive and the Selectmen have been most helpful by assisting in keeping the expenditure recommendations at a minimum.

That the money received from the dog taxes be divided : one-half to the Schools Expense account and one-half to the Library Expense account.
That all expense due to the collection of the dog taxes and care of unlicensed dogs be paid from the Police Department Ex- pense account.
That the $200 provided in the Park Department budget for life guard at Baldwins Pond be used to pay the salary of the life guard maintained at Baldwins Pond by the Wayland Chapter of the American Red Cross.
That the unexpended balances in the following accounts be transferred to the Excess and Deficiency account :
