REPORT OF THE ADVISORY AND FINANCE COMMITTEE
For the Annual Town Meeting, March 27, 1948
COMMITTEE'S RECOMMENDATIONS
Your committee has held during the year a total of twenty meetings, averaging about four hours each, plus the individual work of the sub-committees with their re- spective departments. Department heads have sat with us and discussed their requirements and problems and we feel that reasonable adjustments have resulted.
The requests by departments under Article 6 were $150,000 higher than the amounts voted last March plus the bonus article. Requests under the balance of the warrant totaled $50,000 more than was voted last year, making the total warrant $200,000 more than the total voted in March, 1947.
As a result of a meeting of department heads, called by the Selectmen on January 23, 1948, the committee was faced with a request for a cost of living increase of 15% with a $300 ceiling, to be retroactive to January 1, 1948. The budgets, as recommended, include this increase for full-time and seasonal employees and labor. However, part-time employees, who receive the major part of their income from other sources, have not been included.
It is the understanding of this committee that the Board of Selectmen will call a meeting of the department heads in December, 1948, to ascertain whether, due to conditions prevailing at that time, such an increase is to be continued in 1949.
The committee is strongly of the opinion that there should be no remuneration given the Selectmen, as such office is an honor, given at the polls by the voters and should be served without monetary gain. The committee is recommending no change this year, but feels that it
-29-
might well be taken into consideration by next year's committee.
Relief costs, by which we mean general welfare, old age assistance and aid to dependent children, have al- ready reached alarming proportions and, considering that our industries and other sources of employment are op- erating at practically full capacity, your committee feels that some study should be made to see why Plymouth is spending more proportionately, according to a State published report, than other towns for relief. There is certainly a limit to the amount that can be raised by taxation of real estate and, as long as we let the present trend continue, it can only result in an extremely weak financial condition for the Town.
The following table is not an attempt to show where your tax dollar goes, but simply to show where the Town spends its money. Offsets to these expenditures in the form of departmental grants, reimbursements and other receipts would all have to be taken into consideration to get the net costs to the Town.

Due to the severe winter storms, snow removal costs necessarily increased.
We spent one evening with the Special Survey and Co-ordinating Committee, who explained their long range plans. While these are not in completed form, we agreed with their ideas in general and some of our rec- ommendations reflect the influence of their program.
