Report of Finance Committee
The Finance Committee has held ten meetings during the year. As a result of its work this year the committee makes the follow- ing recommendations :
1. That the School Committee revise its bookkeeping system to the end that it may coincide, both in classification and amounts, with the records of the Town Accountant. Prep- arations of the school budget will be made much easier if is done.
2. That more care be exercised in the use of the Spelman Fund. It is the belief of the Committee that this fund should not be used to defray ordinary expenses of the school department for which money is supplied in the regular budget.
The committee wishes to report that recommendations No. 3 and No. 4 of last year's report have been followed to a very large extent, particularly the recommendation regarding overdrafts.
The committee passes on the articles in the 1934 warrant as follows:
Article 7. Recommended.
Article 9. Recommended.
Article 10. Recommended.
Article 11. Recommended.
Article 12. Recommended.
Article 13. Recommended.
7
Article 14. Recommended.
Details of the budget recommendations will be found in another column.
Respectfully submitted,
THOMAS F. DUNPHY, Chairman, CHARLES H. GOULD, Secretary, SERENO CLARK, ROBERT F. COLLINS, MRS. MARY MAIN,
MRS. MARGARET SHEEHAN,
MISS ELIZABETH PURRINGTON, SILAS SNOW, FRED SMITH,
