FINANCE COMMITTEE
RECOMMENDED BUDGET FOR GENERAL PURPOSES - 1955
The Finance Committee recommends that the Town of Lincoln make the several separate appropriations for the general purposes of the town as listed by number in the attached schedule aggregating $479,038.88. The actual expenditure in 1954 for the comparable purposes was $397,665.43, excluding overdrafts of $13,135.36 for hurricane work authorized and guaranteed by the State. Unexpended balances of last year's appropriations which were returned to surplus amounted to $21,097.07.
The total recommended appropriations exceed 1954 expenditures by $81,365.45, or about 20.4 per cent.
The Committee recommends for the Water Department, the four separate appropriations numbered 90 to 93, inclusive, aggregating $28,437.97, which is $15.60 more than the Department spent in 1954.

The various town meetings in 1954 appropriated approximately $77,500 out of free cash. A substantial part of this has been re- stored to free cash by unexpended appropriations of $21,000 and by about $40,000 of tax receipts in excess of estimates. Free cash was approximately $103,000 on January 1, 1955.
. In the tabulated recommendations annexed hereto we have recommended the use of $40,950 of free cash. In addition we also recommend the use of $30,000 from free cash toward the construction of the (New School Addition No. 2) Charles Sumner Smith School and the cancella- tion of the previous authority to borrow $30,000 for that purpose. This would make total appropriations from free cash $70,950, of which $45,950 would eventually be returned thereto.
Estimating the assessed values of real estate and personal property for 1955 at $6,100,000 (compared with the 1954 valuation of $5,862,000),
150
FINANCE COMMITTEE
each $6,100 appropriated will have an effect of $1.00 on the tax rate.
In order to meet the present emergency brought about by the closing of the Lincoln telephone office, we have approved a new category for expenditures labelled "Communications" and have recommended sums to purchase and operate the necessary equipment. These expenditures should provide the Town with an immediate and necessary communications service on a twenty-four hour basis for its public safety protection.
Respectfully submitted,
F. Winchester Denio, Chairman Thomas L. Rouner, Secretary Paul L. Norton William N. Page Charles K. Fitts
