To the Taxpayers of the Town of Milford :
Obviously due to the stress of the times, the pay- ment of taxes becomes difficult for many, and collec- tions, of necessity, are affected accordingly. In view of this, it is to be noted that the amount to be collect- ed has been reduced by about $23,000 in excess of that levied in 1934, indicating an improvement. Also, there was 58% of the current levy collected in 1934, as compared with 53% of the corresponding levy in 1933.
On the other hand, there is a marked tendency on
31
the part of delinquent taxpayers to disregard the de- mands sent out periodically. It would be well for those concerned, if these reminders were acknowl- edged by the recipient, as an evidence of the spirit of cooperation so necessary for this department to func- tion with fairness to all.
It is appropriate that I acknowledge the willing co- operation of the various town officials with whom I had dealings in the past year.
Respectfully yours,
W. J. READ, Collector of Tax.
Town Accountant's Report.
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and the Voters of Milford :
Herewith I submit my annual report of the financial transactions of the Town of Milford, for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1934.
Included is a balance sheet, a detailed report of the receipts from all sources of income, a recapitulation and estimate sheet, showing the appropriation, expend- iture, balance and the estimated cost for the year of 1935 of the various departments; a detailed summary of the net funded debt of the Town and a list of the salaries and wages paid to the Town employees.
From the unexpended balances of the appropria- tions we added to our surplus revenue account the sum of $29,415.99, making the total $218,049.56.
There is still a tendency among some of the depart- ments to withhold their bills for long periods after receiving them, and I again take this opportunity to ask their cooperation in curtailing this practice, as it is detrimental to the best interest of the Town in many ways, especially since it is impossible to show the true condition of their appropriation at any given time.
May I thank all the departments for their coopera- tion and assistance during the past year.
Respectfully submitted, MICHAEL J. HANNIGAN, Town Accountant.
