Article 2. James E. Birmingham, Secretary of the Finance Committee presented the following report of the Finance Committee:
TO THE VOTERS OF MILFORD
The Finance Committee herewith submits their recommendation for the 1945 budget. Appropriations have been increased Forty-five thousand dollars due largely to the added expense of removing snow and a 100 per cent increase in Soldiers' Benefits. Inasmuch as we have not received the necessary figures from the State Tax Com- missioner's Office we hesitate to estimate a tax rate. But if the figures are the same as last year the forty-five thou- sand dollar increase in the appropriation will mean a Three dollar jump in the tax rate.
Salaries and Wages accounts add up to Three hundred and fifty-two thousand dollars and this includes a one hundred and fifty dollar bonus for all full time employees of the town.
Article 1. To hear and act upon the reports of all Town Officers and Committees.
Article 2. To raise and appropriate money for Town expenses for 1945.
