Treasurer's Report
Receipts and payments for the year were as follows:
Balance, January 1, 1939
$ 47438.81 1014737.28
Receipts
$1062176.09 1030240.31
Payments
Balance, December 31, 1939
$31935.78
Again I have to report the smallest balance in the last 11 years, but, in view of the vote of the Town to use $25000. free cash to reduce the tax rate, this is not surprising.
Included in the totals is $255000., borrowed in anticipation of taxes and repaid in the fall, which was $105000. more than last year. This was due partly to earlier borrowing and also to the unavoidable delay in fixing the tax rate. The discount rate was the lowest on record, ranging from .12% to .10%.
Disbursements, in accordance with 130 selectmen's warrants, were 2% less than in 1938. The number of checks issued was 14830-for the first time no more than the year before.
Summarized statements of the 766 cemetery perpetual care funds and 14 other trust funds in the custody of the treasurer, amounting to $112135.93, or 13% more than previously, will be found elsewhere in the town report. This increase is largely due to a generous bequest of $10000., to be known as the David and Lucy Hayward Shaw Fund.
Three tax title accounts, two of which are ready for foreclosure, amount to $296.73.
Taking advantage of a recent state law, I was able to be away from the office most of July. During this time, H. Allison Morse served most acceptably as assistant treasurer, the entire cost to the town being $5.19 for a bond premium.

Report of Planning Board
Many matters in connection with future Town planning have been discussed and considered during the past year by the Board. Further efforts are being made to eliminate hazardous conditions on the streets and highways of the Town. A public hearing in accordance with the statutory provisions was held on certain proposed amendments to the Zoning By-Law and a final report containing the Board's recommendation has been filed separately and apart from this report for consideration at the Town Meeting.
