FINANCE COMMITTEE
Recommended Budgets for General Purposes and Water Department
The Finance Committee recommends that the Town adopt for its 1958 budget the several appropriations listed and numbered in the attached Schedule aggregating $759,940.09 for General Purposes and $44, 702.50 for the Water Department.
These aggregates compare with the appropriations last year for the same purposes as follows :
1957 Budget 1957 Expended
Recommended
Increase
General Purposes $673,737.67
$645,062.80 $759,940.09 $86,202.42
Water Department 41,999.75
28,226.24 44,702.50 $ 2,702.75
Approximately three-quarters of the recommended increase for general purposes is directly related to the operation (including property insurance ) of our Elementary schools and the bond ser- vice on the debt for the new construction now in progress, as follows :
Increase in operating budget as reported by School Committee after subtracting two years' credit under U. S. Public Law 874 of $13,262.00
$20,238.00
School Property Insurance increase (estimated)
3,280.00
Bond service on new bonds for schools, issued in 1957 (less interest reduction due to retirement of 1957 maturities of previous issues )
41,540.00
Total . -- Elementary Schools $65,058.00
. Other major budget increases :
Bond service on Fire and Police building bonds
$ 8,600.00
Fire Department - Operation
7,250.00
Fire and Police building - Maintenance 4,845.00
Highway (General)
6,984.00
Unexpended departmental appropriations, other than Water, totalled $28,674.87 at the year end and were credited as a wel- come addition to the Surplus Account on which we drew so heavily last year. The Water Department added $13,773.51 to its working balance.
The Commonwealth has certified the "free cash" of the Town as of January 1, 1958, at $90,324.56. This compares with the figure of $106, 041.00 a year ago. Were it not for the unspent appro- priations above referred to and an unexpected distribution of Cor-
183
FINANCE COMMITTEE
poration taxes late in the year, we would not have regained as much of our "free cash" position.
Our Committee made the following transfers during the year for unforeseen requirements which were charged to the $10,000.00 which was appropriated for that purpose from Overlay Surplus :
Town Hall - Supplies and Miscellaneous $ 300.00
Communications - Equipment and Supplies 2,700.34

Board of Health - Salaries

500.00
Street Lighting

Schools - Auxiliary Services
500.00
Insurance
315.67
Temporary Loans - Interest
579.00
Total Transferred $ 6,108.05
Balance returned to Overlay Surplus $ 3,891.95
With the drop in building permits issued by the Town in 1957, it would seem improbable that the increase in valuation on account of new construction will be as large as the approximately $631,000 increase that was effective for 1957. We suggest that for our thinking at Town Meeting this year we assume that each $7,500.00 of appropriations will have an effect of $1.00 in the computation of the tax rate by the Assessors.
This year, for the first time, the Budget for General Purposes exceeds the three-quarter million dollar mark. The school con- struction program, both in the Elementary and Regional schools, is far from completed, and these prospective expenditures, plus others which the Capital Expenditure Committee Report calls to our attention, indicate that we shall continue to be responsible for a per capita debt which we believe is among the highest of the cities and towns in the Commonwealth.
Our present expenditures for education, whether on a per capita or per pupil basis, we believe are the highest of any comparable Massachusetts towns and present trends give no indication of any change in this condition. Since our educational costs are such a large proportion of the budget, and since the total dollars to be spent for education in 1958 cannot readily be found from the Town Report, we are presenting below a computation of these costs for the calendar year 1958, so that the Town may know what they are :

These per pupil figures obviously cannot be used as any basis for comparison of the operations of the Elementary School and the Regional High School, which are affected by such different factors.
In spite of the increased expense of running our Town in 1958, your Finance Committee recommends that the Town make a beginning on the Stabilization Fund which we called to the attention of the Town in our 1957 report. There does not appear to be any more
185
FINANCE COMMITTEE
favorable time to do so and we believe we should start with $7,500.00 under the Article for that purpose in the Warrant.
The recommendations submitted call for the use of $18,000.00 from the available "free cash" which will reduce it below $75,000.00, which is less than 10% of the budget. A 20% or 25% ratio would be a much healthier one for a Town with our commit- ments and prospective programs.
