REPORT OF THE FINANCE COMMITTEE OF THE TOWN OF MILFORD.
MARCH 11, 1932.
Mr. Moderator.
The Finance Committee, an unpaid Town Board, consist- ing of fifteen members, composed of Marcus W. Rose, Myron Morey, Norry Miett, Michael S. MeMahon, L. Blaine Libbey, John F. Damon, Philip S. Kimball, Patrick C. J. Dacey, Ru- dolph Mainini, Joseph Morcone, Walter L. Adams, Alton H. Metcalf, Frederick T. Cahill, William H. Casey, Patrick L. Lally, appointed by the Selectmen, submit their annual report.
They have given unlimited time in considering the ex- penses and suggested expenditures of the Town, and adhered strictly to a policy of co-operative effort with officials, stress- ing at all times a desire to secure needed economy.
The present unsettled conditions and consequent readiness of voters generally to become alarmed have actuated the com- mittee to carefully search out all possible savings and relieve all unnecessary burdens to officials and taxpayers alike.
The appropriations recommended should be sufficient in all cases for the proper conduct of the particular department, and the Finance Committee will not look with favor on any further appropriations which may be asked for later in the year.
We urge the voters to follow the recommendations of rhe Committee, and not be swerved by efforts of any organized group to increase expenditures. The Committee's report was printed in full in the local paper. By following its recom-
18
mendations a substantial saving of approximately $37,686.68 may be had over last year's figures.
The report contains two sets of figures, in as much as favorable action by the meeting under Article 19, will reduce the appropriations ten per cent. We recommend that Article 19 be next considered, in order that proper appropriations thereafter may be made for all purposes.
Respectfully submitted,
WALTER L. ADAMS, Chairman. L. BLAINE LIBBEY, Secretary.
