ADJOURNED TOWN MEETING, MARCH 6, 1931.


COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS


Milford, March 6, 1931. Worcester, ss.


In pursuance to a vote passed at the Annual Town Meeting, March 2, 1931, the inhabitants of the Town of Milford, qualified by law to vote in elections and in Town affairs, met in Town Hall on the above date and proceeded as follows :


The meeting was called to order at eight o'clock P. M., by John T. McLoughlin, Moderator.


Article 3. Voted: To receive and accept the reports of all Town officers as printed in the annual Town re- ports.


David Craig submitted the following report of the Committee, appointed by the Selectmen, to investigate the advisability of providing a public comfort station.


In accordance with a vote taken at a recent Town meeting, authorizing the Selectmen to look into the


207


advisability of selecting a site and the approximate cost of building a comfort station, the undersigned Com- mittee was appointed by the Selectmen and beg leave to submit the following report:


The Committee has looked over all the available loca- tions, Draper Park, Goucher Square, on Central Street, the lot in the rear of the 1 to 99 cent store, on Fayette Street, the basement of the Town Hall, the lot on the corner of Main and Court Streets, to the right of Town Hall, and the lot on the left of Memorial Hall.


The Committee favors to build on the extreme left of the latter site, economy and convenience considered, a building with an entrance façade built of granite, corres- ponding to the design of Memorial Hall. The station to be under the lawn of Memorial Hall property, with con- crete stairways, floor, walls and roof, and which can be properly heated from the boiler of Memorial Hall.


Therefore, this committee recommends the raising and appropriating the sum of $6,500.00 for the purpose of building a comfort station on Memorial Hall property.


FRED M. CROWELL, ARTHUR J. CHAMBERS, FEDERICO DEFRANCESCO, WILLIAM C. WATERS, DAVID CRAIG,


Committee.


Voted: To receive and accept the report of the Com- mittee.


L. Blaine Libbey, Secretary of the Finance Commit- tee, submitted the following report for the Committee:


FINANCE COMMITTEE OF THE TOWN OF MILFORD


March 6, 1931.


Mr. Moderator :


Under Article 31 of the Warrant dated, March 3, 1930, the Finance Committee was ordered to investigate


208


the matter of a readjustment of the salaries of all elected Town Officials.


At this time we would report that while we have given consideration to the matter, we are not ready to make any recommendations, and request that further time be given the Committee.


Yours very truly,


WALTER L. ADAMS, Chairman. L. BLAINE LIBBEY, Secretary.


Voted: To receive and accept the report of the Com- mittee.


Article 4. L. Blaine Libbey, Secretary of the Finance Committee, submitted the report of the Finance Com- mittee, and after reading a part of the report and ex- plaining the position of the Committee on matters sub- mitted to them, it was voted: To dispense with further reading of the report.


Voted: To receive the report of the Finance Commit- tee and act upon the same item by item.


REPORT OF THE FINANCE COMMITTEE OF THE TOWN OF MILFORD


March 5, 1931.


Mr. Moderator :


It is hardly necessary this year for the Finance Com- mittee to advise the voters and taxpayers of the need of careful voting and wise economy. Our manufacturers are unable to find suitable markets; employees must necessarily be laid off. Merchants cannot sell their goods, employees, men and women, are either going without their pay envelopes, or forced to accept pay for part-time work.


But for all this, the cost of maintaining your various government departments continues, and taxes will in- crease in spite of the most rigid economy.


209


Approximately $200,000.00 of 1930 taxes remain un- collected, and if we cannot pay our 1930 taxes, how can we meet the taxes of 1931?


Your Finance Committee has given unsparingly of their time trying to keep local appropriations as low as possible, and still permit Town departments to function. They have no personal axes to grind, and do their work entirely in the interest of the every-day taxpayer.


Voters are urged to consider their recommendations carefully, and to cooperate by backing up the Commit- tee's judgment and recommendations contained in this report.


Conditions beyond the control of Milford Taxpayers, due to increased State taxes, will demand an increase of several dollars in our local tax rate. It is only by careful spending tonight that we can help ourselves. And we urge you again to support your Finance Committee, and vote against any special article calling for increased ex- penditures, that at this time can be postponed.
