Selectmen's Report
Your Selectmen herewith submit their annual re- port :
The Board organized on March 10, 1928, with Harry Warner as chairman, and meetings have been held on Monday nights.
The expenses of the Town have been kept within the appropriations and there are some overages to go into the reserve fund.
Hallock Nichols continued as superintendent of Highways.
A bad corner was widened and straightened on Cecil Loomis' hill on Mountain street.
A 200-foot cement walk was built, connecting the Cone Bridge and tar walk on South Main street.
The appropriation for sidewalk repairs has been ne- glected for several years, which should not be, as a small appropriation each year will repair what sidewalks we have and maybe save an expensive damage suit.
The floor of the Cone bridge is in bad shape and the Pier is chipping.
We have had quite an epidemic of mumps during the past year and a few cases of diphtheria and scarlet fever. Houses have been posted and all possible precautions tak- en to keep them from spreading.
We have asked for more money than we spent last year for the Board of Public Welfare because we have had several new cases brought to our attention lately on account of hard times and people being out of work.

Report of Finance Committee
The Finance committee has met and considered the various articles in the town warrant calling for appro- priations.
It will be noted that the amounts appearing on the School Budget for the ensuing year agree precisely with the recommendations of this committee, as it was felt that the School Committee had been very conservative in their estimates of all items of their budget.
The records of the Town Accountant proved a great aid, because of the concise way in which all expenditures made during the past year were submitted for the com- mittee's use.
The following table shows the action taken by the Finance Committee relative to the expense items as giv- en :

Under items 25, 29, 31, 37, and 38 the expenditures for the past year appear to exceed the appropriations ; the excess, however, was taken from the income derived from School Trust Funds.
The committee approves of appropriating a sum to be expended for the repair of town sidewalks under (Art. 24), the amount to be determined at the town meeting.
No recommendation is made under the subjects of Land Damage (Art. 25) and Unpaid Bills (Art. 26).
The committee approves of the payment of the Tax Collector on a percentage basis, as stated unrer Art. 28.
It is recommended that the interest on the Water Bonds be paid from the income of the Water Department.

Report of Town Accountant
To the Selectmen of Williamsburg :
I beg to submit my first Annual Report as Town Ac- countant.
The report includes :
1. The receipts, classified according to the nature of the receipt.
2. The payments, classified according to the pur- pose of the payment.
3. A balance sheet, showing the financial condition of the town on Dec. 31, 1928.
4. A table showing the appripriations, compared with the expenditures from each of the several appropria- tions.
Examination of the balance sheet will show that the town finances are in good order. When the accounts were closed at the end of the year, it was found that the actual receipts from other sources than taxation had ex- ceeded the estimate of the Assessors in computing the tax rate, by $1,752.47. This amount, together with the unex- pended balances of appropriations closed, amounting to $6,575.48, more than offsets what remained of the pre- vious deficiency of revenue, and leaves a surplus of $6,896.54.
This favorable showing is due to a careful estimate of the amount of revenue to be raised by taxation, a care- ful control over expenditures by the heads of depart- ments, the co-operation of all the town officials, and the
. .
21
valuable aid and counsel of the State Auditors. I wish to thank the members of your Board and the other officials of the Town for their courtesy and assistance.
Respectfully submitted,
ROBERT H. LIFE,
Town Accountant.
