The Finance Committee, both in the preparation of its budget and in its recommendations with respect to the articles has taken the position with the various departments and petitioners that because of the already existing heavy burden, 1957 was not a year in which it could go along with recommending new services. It has drawn what it considers to be a sharp line of demarkation against all new services of any sort, whether proposed by departments or by individuals.
The Finance Committee, having in mind the overall financial picture of the Town is asking the voters at the Annual Meeting to support the position it is taking in recommending against expenditures of something just under $100,000. It suggests this without in any way seeking to prejudice the Town another year against any of the individual items.
The Finance Committee recommends that:
All employees in the Town Office Building, other than elected officials and those of the Police and Fire Departments, come under the supervision of the Office Manager, and that he be charged with the operation of the Town Office Buildings and equipment;
The operation of the dumps be under the supervision of the High way Department;
The money from Dog Taxes be allocated in its entirety to the Library-Appropriation account;
The Public Health and the School Nurse be under the supervision of the Health Department;
The work on Assessors' Maps continue to be done under the joint supervision of the Planning Board and the Board of Assessors;
38
The supervision of the job of street numbering and the appropriation therefor be the responsibility of the Planning Board;
The appropriation for "Engineering - Including Existing Town Roads" be under the joint supervision of the Planning Board and the Road Commissioners.
The gift to the Library, acceptance of which is provided for under Article 13 be made available for expenditures along with other amounts appropriated by the Town under the budget for general expense of the Library;
The Tax Collector continue to act as Collector for the Water Department, that he be directed to charge fees for demands on overdue water bills and that the sum so collected be credited by the Collector to the Water Department, - that if the Town concludes to make the Tax Collector - the Town Collector and pays the salary provided for therefor in the budget, that all fees and penalties be turned over to the Town as Town income;
The appropriation for "Hydrant Rental" of $8,000 for the Water Department, granted in the budget, be transferred to "Water Available Surplus;"
The appropriation for "Water Main Extension - Existing Town Roads" of $5,000 be expended by the Water Department for the installa- tion of water mains of not less than 6 inches in diameter in such existing town roads as, from time to time, may be recommended by the Water Board and approved by a majority of the Selectmen and a majority of the Finance Committee, on the condition that the same formula for the expenditure be used as was previously used for the funds voted April 28, 1948, November 30, 1949 and March 7, 1951, -
And that any appropriation for "Water Main Extensions - Existing Town Roads - Refund Account" proposed under Article 34 be used as reimbursement to abutters only when recommended by the Water Board and approved by a majority of the Selectmen and a majority of the Finance Committee on such formula as is consistent with the article setting up the fund.

The balance in the following accounts be transferred as follows:
School Construction - Addition No. 2 Excess and Deficiency Account $21.33
In addition to the sum of $1,500 included in the budget to meet the Town's share of the cost of Chapter 90 Maintenance, and $6,000 in Article 9 to meet the Town's share of Chapter 90 New Construction, the sum of $3,000 for Chapter 90 Maintenance, and $18,000 for Chapter 90 New Construction be transferred from "Unappropriated Available Funds" in the Treasury to meet the County's and the State's shares of the cost of the work, the reimbursement from County and State to be restored upon their receipt, to "Unappropriated Available Funds" in the Treasury.
It gives the Finance Committee great pleasure to be able to tell the Town that the members of all its boards and its employees generally have without stint cheerfully co-operated with the Finance Committee in the preparation of the Warrant for the consideration of the Town Meeting.
The Finance Committee budget recommendations for the year 1957 are set forth in the attached schedule.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF SELECTMEN - 1956
At the Annual Election in March 1956, Mr. John R. McEnroy, 80 Cottage Street, Cochituate, Mass., was elected to a three year term as Selectman. Shortly after election, the Board met and organized as follows: Frank S. Tarr, Chairman; Thomas F. Linnehan, Clerk; and John R. McEnroy as third member. Norman E. Taylor, Town Account- ant, was appointed as Secretary to the Board, as it was felt that the Selectmen should have a representative in the Town Hall where the public could, daily, present their problems to the Board of Selectmen. The Board wishes to thank Mr. Edward N. Perry for the service given the Board in previous years.
