SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
It has been customary for the Selectmen to print in their re- port what seems like an apology for exceeding the appropriations in some, if not in all, of the departments. In our judgment, the necessity for this state of things should not continue, as no town can afford to be miserly in granting appropriations with which to carry on the different departments of its government. There- fore we would recommend a reasonably liberal policy for the fu- ture. Let each Board having charge of the various departments confine itself to a strict observance of the law relating to such Town appropriations and expenditures.
The appropriations for the year ending February 1, 1890, were in some departments insufficient to meet current expenses ; to say nothing of bills that were contracted by former Boards, which we have paid and to which we call your attention on Page 8 of this report. Voters should insist upon sufficient appropria- tions for current expenses each year hereafter; but in case the amounts in any of the departments should be found inadequate to cover the entire expenses, the bills in excess of the sums appro- priated should be approved, but not paid, and reported to the Town at the end of each fiscal year. Thereby the Town will be fully advised, and can act intelligently as to its future needs.
We call the attention of tax-payers to the indebtedness of the Town as set forth in the Treasurer's report. $65,000 may be termed fixed indebtedness, and $36,500 may be termed tempo- rary indebtedness. An article has been inserted in the Town war- rant, in order that the Town may provide for this temporary debt by borrowing money at a less rate of interest. We recommend that the Town borrow money for the temporary debt, on time notes, payable in whole or in part in 1893, at the time bonds ($40,000) come due, at which time the Town can issue bonds for the whole amount then payable, probably at a lower rate of interest.
We wish, also, to call the attention and serious considera- tion of voters to the establishment of a paid police force, as
7
we believe that money is more wisely expended in striving to pre- vent the commission of crime, than in the prosecution of the offender after the crime has been committed.
The following receipt was given to the Town by Mead, Ma- son & Co., which was accepted by the Town, and for some unex- plained reason was never recorded. Therefore it is deemed proper to print it in this report so that the Town may in future be more careful in accepting so important a paper, however in- nocent it may appear. As will be observed, this is only a re- ceipt,-a very unpretentious looking document,-but in fact a very important and one-sided agreement which has cost the Town thousands of dollars, as will be seen on examination of the costs in Memorial Hall suits.
MILFORD, Nov. 30, 1885.
Received of the town of Milford, seven hundred seventy-five dollars in settlement of contract price for building Memorial Hall, Milford, less cer- tain sums deducted by reason of the non-performance of the contract for stone work, according to its terms, through the default of Timothy Shea, as provided by the terms of said contract, but not hereby waiving our right to recover of said town :-
1st. The expense of setting the steps of Memorial staircase.
2d. The sum of three hundred dollars deducted from said contract price by reason of a change from Milford granite trimmings to brownstone trim- mings.
3d. Any other sum for extra work not included in the contract afore- said, provided said Timothy Shea shall recover said sums or any part of the same from us in a suit or suits now pending against us, or hereafter to be brought, or unless we shall have in some form the benefit of the sum deduct- ed for setting said steps and said three hundred dollars by way of set off or otherwise in settlement with said Timothy Shea.
