FINANCE REPORT
TOWN OF MERRIMAC
TO THE CITIZENS OF MERRIMAC
The Finance Committee submits herein its budget recommendations for the year
1963.
We have made a change in the form of our report this year adding a column showing the amount requested by each department. Taking the requested amount as a point of departure, we have carefully examined the operation of each department, its expenditures in 1962, and its requirements for 1963. Our recommendations for each department while conservative, with proper administration should be adequate.
Economy of operation has been uppermost in our minds for the following reasons: (I) We have less free cash available to reduce taxes than last year because we have more uncollected taxes . (2) We are faced with increasing school enrollment and accelerating cost of education.
Our report is necessarily incomplete as to a projection of the tax rate for 1963 because the "cherry sheet" has not been received from the department of Corporation and Taxation.
We wish to thank those departments which cooperated so fully with us in the pre- paration of this report, with special mention of the Selectmen and the Town Accountant.
Respectfully submitted,
Frederick N· Sweetsir, M.D., Chairman Edmond L. Hamel, Secretary A· Bruce MacGregor
