REPORT
OF THE
FINANCE COMMITTEE.
THE Finance Committee respectfully submit the fol- lowing :
The town debt on Note account is as follows :
Notes due in 1869,
$34,575
" 1872,. 78,495
66
66 1879, 19,854
66
66 1884, 46,000
$178,924
By a vote of the town, this Committee were instructed to propose some plan for the funding of the town debt.
For the payment of that part of the debt which will mature the coming year, the town must make some pro- vision at the meeting in March or in April. Of the amount, $20,875 was borrowed in 1862, as a " Military Appropriation," and the remaining $13,700 are in renewed notes, etc. It is recommended that the Treasurer, with the approval of the Finance Committee, be authorized to issue Coupon Bonds for $21,000, to be denominated " Somerville War Loan," and for $14,000, to be denomi- nated "Somerville Town Loan," for the payment of the
2
97
$34,575-the excess to be placed to the credit of " Mis- cellaneous " account.
In 1872 a very large part of the debt will mature. It is doubtful if the payment of any considerable part of the amount can be anticipated, as the rate of interest on over three-fourths of it, is probably higher than the rate at which similar loans could be effected at the present time. It is recommended, however, that if any arrange- ment can be made for the payment of one or more of the notes, the same authority be given to issue Coupon Bonds for the payment thereof, as has been advised in regard to the notes which will mature the present year ; provided, that in the judgment of the Finance Commit- tee, a sufficient reduction in the rate of interest can thereby be effected, to justify the transfer. Should these Bonds be issued, the purpose of their issue, -as near as may be,-should be " nominated in the Bond."
Of the amount which will mature in 1879, $14,400 are in Coupon Bonds, and the remaining $5,454 in one note. The rate of interest on these bonds and this note, and the rates of interest on the notes which will mature in 1884, being very much less than the current rate of interest at the present time, it is recommended that they be not moved.
The debt consequent upon the introduction of the Mystic Water, has not been considered, as it would simply be a repetition of a part of the Report of the Water Committee.
The town debt, on note account, March 1, 1859, was $44,338 ; the increase for ten years to January 1, 1869, $134,586 ; occasioned, as near as can now be well ascer- tained, by
War Loan, about $90,000, for bounties, recruiting, &c.
1
98
School Loan, about $30,000, for rebuilding school- houses, &c.
Town Loan, about $14,500, for various purposes, - per- haps, in part, on that romantic thoroughfare, the Med- ford Turnpike ; for the purchase of the Steam Fire Engine ; and, also, it may be, on a school-house : for the practice, at one time so common in this town, of sliding expenditures from their proper accounts to a more accommodating appropriation, defies anything like accuracy in locating this part of the increase.
No part of the town debt will mature during the years 1870 and 1871, and there seems no good reason for sup- posing that the town will be called upon for the next four or five years for appropriations beyond the ordinary current expenses ; except, it may be, for further school accommodations in the Franklin District. The incurring of a debt for the erection of substantial school-houses, ought not to subject any generation to censure from its successors ; but to entail upon posterity a debt for the repairs of Highways, expenses of the Fire Department, salaries of Town Officers, maintenance of Police, etc., is, at best, a very questionable method of evading responsi- bilities. The ordinary annual expenses should be met by the annual assessment of taxes, and in the present favorable financial condition of the town, the rate of taxation ought to be, and can be, by judicious manage- ment, much reduced.
The average rate of taxation in this town for the past ten years varies but little from the average rate in the adjoining cities of Cambridge and Charlestown. The average in Cambridge was $11.68; Charlestown, $12.91, and Somerville, $11.93 on $1,000 valuation. The high- est rate in any one year was, in Cambridge, $15.20 ; Charlestown, $19.60, and Somerville, $19.00. The rates
99
in 1868 were, Cambridge, $13.80 ; Charlestown, $14.80, and the city debt was increased $164,460, and Somer- ville, $19.00. and the town debt was decreased $10,550. The proportions of debt to valuation are, in Cambridge, 1780% per cent. ; Charlestown, 2-68% per cent., and Somer- ville, 179016 per cent. : in every case exclusive of the water debt. The average rate of taxation in Boston for the past five years was $13.98; in 1868 it was $12.30, and the debt was increased $3,308,641: the proportion of debt to valuation, 2760% per cent. The proportion of debt to valuation in Malden is 2-57% per cent .; Medford, 118. per cent., and in Chelsea, exclusive of the water debt, 210% per cent.
Thus it will be seen that notwithstanding the large outlays of the past few years, and the high rate of taxa- tion the last year, our town is in as good a condition, financially, as many of the places in the immediate vicinity.
That we can be more prudent in the management of our town affairs than we have been, is beyond question. As means for reducing our expenditures and rate of tax- ation, and for the better government of the town, it is recommended :
