Highlights of the Proposed 1965 Budget
The proposed budget for general purposes, excluding the Water Department, for 1965 totals $1,552,799. This amount is an increase of $136,222, or 9.4%, over the ap- proved budget of 1964. This compares with an increase of 5.1% in 1964.
The budgets of the various departments and the per- centage change from the previous year are as follows:
General Government
$ 60,829
+15.0%
Protection of Persons
& Property
124,978

Because of reimbursements by participants in certain programs, the total cost to the Town in 1965 will probably increase over 1964 by about $1,000, or 14%.
In non-school areas the level of services supplied by the Town is essentially unchanged. Most of the in- crease in the proposed budget comes from higher wages and salaries as the number of employees is the same as a year ago. The average wage and salary increase is 5%, ex- cluding the schools, although there are a few exceptions. Teachers' salaries are up 8 to 10%. The salary of the Executive Secretary is now included for the full year, this position having been created at the Town Meeting in March, 1964. The Finance Committee believes this new office is being well run and will be of considerable bene- fit to the Town in the coming years.
Other important changes in the budget are: $8,500 more in debt service arising from the issuance of land purchase bonds for the DiPerna property and $5,300 in- crease in property and indemnity insurance largely the result of our new school buildings.
1
If the assessed valuation of the Town is $14,284,000, the best figure available at this time, every $14,284 of additional expenditures will mean $1 more on the tax rate.
If the proposed budget and all articles in the Warrant are approved, we estimate that the tax rate for 1965 will be $80, an increase of 3.9% over the $77 rate of 1964. However, we again caution the Town that this estimate is subject to considerable error.
Report with Recommended Budget for 1965
The Finance Committee Report and its recommended Budget for 1965 is being published as a "Financial Section to the 1964 Town Report". This Section also carries the Town Warrant and the report of the Long-Term Capital Requirement: Committee, which is a useful background for current as well as long-term considerations.
We recommend the adoption of the appropriations for General Purposes in 1965 itemized in the Financial Supple- ment, which total $1,550,874.
We recommend adoption of a budget for the Water De - partment consisting of the several appropriations also shown in detail in the Financial Section and totaling $60,595.
In accordance with the By-Laws, the hearing on the Elementary School Budget was held in conjunction with the School Committee on January 19. A preliminary hearing on the remainder of the budget will be held on Monday, Februar 15 at 8:00 p.m. at the Town Hall, and a final hearing on Thursday, March 4, also at 8:00 p.m. at the Town Hall.
The various departments returned to the Treasury a total of $44,464.96 of unexpended appropriations. The following is a list of all that exceeded $1,000.00 :
Planning Board $1,065.00

The Commonwealth has certified "Free Cash" as of January 1, 1965, to be $197,978.73. This compares with $119, 813.40 last year.
The Finance Committee is again sponsoring an article in the Warrant for $10,000 for appropriation to the Stabili- zation Fund for foreseeable future expenditures on major equipment items.
The Town Warrant accompanies this report. The recommendations of this Committee on each article requiring funds are included in the Warrant.
