SCHOOL DEPARTMENT.
The School Committee requested for 1921 the sum of $143,606.44; $20,000.00 of the increased amount was due to a proposed increase in teachers' salaries. We recognize the ne- cessity of increases to some of the teachers, particularly those in the grades and the lower paid high school teachers. Hav- ing regard to the finances of the town and to the needs of other departments, we feel that $12,000.00 is a reasonable in- crease at this time. Accordingly we have recommended for Schools $8,000.00 less than the department requested, viz., $135,606.44.
TOWN PARKS.
We recommend that all persons or organizations using the Town Park in furnishing public amusements for profit, ex- cepting baseball or football contests, donate to the Park Commissioners, a reasonable contribution for the maintenance of the Park.
TOWN WARRANT.
Article 9. We recommend the salary of the Highway Surveyor be increased $400.00 per year.
Article 10. Several suggestions have been made to the Finance Commission relative to some system being adopted which would act as a check or veto on the items of the Town Budget. The chief evil in the town meeting form of govern- ment lies in the fact that those interested in a proposition can, by various methods, pack the meeting and carry through any appropriation they may see fit.
The town meeting allows its members to vote on propo-
20
sitions in which they themselves have a personal interest, which adds to the evil, and makes it easy to saddle on the town the amount desired. Rather than force upon the town any legislative change in the present form of government, we feel that if the by-law recommended becomes effective, it will safeguard the town as a whole against unwarranted appropri- ations, and at the same time protect any citizen who has reasonable grounds for demanding use of the town's money.
The Finance Commission, through the Moderator who ap- points them, is directly answerable to the town meeting.
Article 14. We recommend the sum of $200.00 be appro- priated under this article.
Article 21. We recommend the passage of this article.
Article 24. We recommend the passage of this article.
Article 25. In the general appropriations we have recom- mended the sum of $4,000.00 for sewer maintenance. Accord- ingly this article should be passed over.
Article 27. We recommend that the salary of the Assess- ors be increased to $4.00 per day.
If Articles 9 and 27 be acted on favorably, we recommend that $1000.00 be added to the salaries.
The Overseers of the Poor have requested an increase of $500.00 to their salaries. We are informed that to do so, an artiele in the warrant must be inserted for that purpose. As there is no such article in the present warrant, we can take no action on the matter at this time.
