In fixing upon the sums to be paid we have taken into consideration the amount paid in previous years as compared with the present, and in doing this we have not been unmind- ful of the changes in the manner of doing business, and of the present methods as compared with those in past years.


Opportunity was given to any citizen of the Town to ap- pear before the committee and state his views, or give any in- formation on the question of salaries and expenditures of the Town, and your committee only regret that no one appeared.


Some of your committee are of the opinion that undoubt-


18


edly there are expenditures of the Town other than those we report upon, that need a revision and a probable reduction, and they believe that a considerable sum could be saved annu- ally and not impair the service. Owing to the short time at the disposal of the committee before this meeting, and be- ' cause of the appropriations already voted, it was deemed best by your committee therefore not to enter upon such considera- tion, yet we would here call the attention of the different boards of Town officers to the pressing need of retrenchment in all Town expenditures, to the end that our tax rate may be kept at as low a rate as is possible, thereby relieving the tax- payers of what at best is a severe burden to many.


The natural location of Milford, its good railroad facilities, and its past excellent record as a manufacturing town, to- gether with the well-known thrift, enterprise and industry of its citizens, will avail but little in attracting new business en- terprises to locate here, unless the annual contributions for taxes shall be kept at a reasonable figure. That the rate is now ruinously high, we think none will doubt. Let us then all work together, and see if by economy and good judgment we cannot reduce the burden of our taxes, and thus build up our community to the position of one of the best of our Com- monwealth's manufacturing towns, as well as to make it a model community for the man of moderate means to live in.
