Article 22. To see if the Town will authorize the Board of Selectmen to convey to the Boston Edison Company and the New England Telephone and Telegraph Company, in consider- ation of one dollar, all its right, title and interest, if any, in and to five poles and the wires and fixtures thereon in Town Way
19
running southeasterly from Pelham Island Road, or take any other action with respect to the subject matter.
Both the Edison and the Telephone Companies are anxious to clarify the matter of ownership of the poles and wires which are located in a short Town way which serves the property of John J. Irwin. There is some question as to whether the Selectmen have authority to execute a bill of sale transferring the ownership without a vote of the Town. One of the poles is now decayed and in need of replacement.
The Finance Committee therefore recommends the approval of the article.
Article 23. 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 to this Warrant with your doings thereon to the Town Clerk on or before March 6, 1944.
Given under our hands and seal this eleventh day of February in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and forty-four.
WILLIAM F. HYNES, JOHN W. LEAVITT, WILLIAM A. LOKER, Selectmen of the Town of Wayland.
A true copy, attest :
Constable of the Town of Wayland.

REPORT OF THE FINANCE COMMITTEE
During the year 1943, various Town departments, through careful and economical administration and aided by generally better business conditions, were able to turn back to the Town Treasury unexpended balances in the amount of $15,900. The Selectmen and Town department heads are to be particularly congratulated on this splendid showing.
During the year, there were three major transfers from the Reserve Fund: one for snow removal of $500, one for increased costs of transportation of school children of $549 and one for the teachers' salaries account of $1,458.90. The advent of the withholding tax made it necessary to complete payment of salaries in the year in which they were earned. It therefore became desirable to transfer to the school salary budget for 1943 the above amount, thus correcting the condition of many years' standing whereby the last payroll for the fiscal year end- ing December 31 was regularly being taken from the following year's budget. This year once again, the availability of an adequate Reserve Fund has made it unnecessary to call an extra Town meeting.
Last year, the Town voted $2,500 to initiate a program of townwide garbage collection. It subsequently developed that it was impossible to obtain a properly bonded contract for this amount. The funds appropriated have therefore remained intact and can be returned to the general funds of the Town. The entire Civilian Defense program has been operated so economically as to require no further appropriation, except for small items.
The Water Department is this year having to face a major expenditure for the drilling of a new well to replace the six- inch gravel packed well installed about twelve years ago, the well within the last year having failed as a source of supply of usable water.
For 1944, the budget as recommended, of about $215,000, provides for several increased appropriations : for Assessor's
21
Maps, $2,000 additional is provided to speed up the survey and mapping of the Town before the resumption of building devel- opments; 'for the Highway Department, $3,000 additional is asked to make possible completion within a few years the oiling of all Town roads before the post war main road building work is begun ; for the School Department, $3,000 is requested prin- cipally for repairs to buildings and their maintenance and for increased transportation costs; for the Tree Warden's Depart- ment, $400 is recommended to start a program of pruning and first aid work to be done at private contract on our most valu- able trees in the two Centers; for "Election Expense," for "State & Military Aid" and "Insurance" there is together rec- ommended an additional $1,300. About $3,000 of budget increase is involved in recommending a "Temporary Bonus for full-time employees for the year 1944 only." Because of war time conditions and the need of a careful, complete study of our salary schedules, the Finance Committee feels that general increases should be only on a temporary basis.
For 1944, the articles as recommended total $13,000, including three which can be definitely considered as being of a post war nature. They are: $3,000 for a site and plans for a projected civic center building in Cochituate; $500 for the enlargement of the Town garage lot ; and $6,500 for a one-story addition and equipment to the Center Grade School. Five mis- cellaneous articles for expenditures of a current nature together require $3,000 additional.
The Finance Committee, in the course of its continuous study of financial condition and requirements of the Town, both for the present and the near future, is of the opinion that a beginning should be made looking toward the post war period and that this is the year in which the Town should appropriate and set aside for a portion of the work which lies ahead. In the budget and in the articles, there is recommended about $15,000 of expenditures which should be so classified.
The Finance Committee recognizes that its recommenda- tions, if carried out, will result in an increase in the tax rate, but is of the opinion that the rate should not exceed $30.
The Finance Committee budget for the year 1944 is as follows :
