It seems obvious, therefore, that our assessors are well paid, in comparison with several other towns about our size, that our total costs for the assessing job are relatively high, and that certainly no increase in the assessors' salaries other than the "cost of inflation" increase being given to other town employees appears justifiable.
It must be remembered also that whereas the non-elec- tive town employees received no increase last year, the assessors were increased 16% for the Chairman and 19% for the others, by vote of the Town.
The Committee therefore recommends that any increase in such salaries certainly be limited to 10%. C. Town Clerk and Treasurer.
A review of salaries paid in 1950 in the other towns studied shows the following:

Conclusion:
The salary for this position is in line with the average cost of getting these two jobs done in the other towns. In towns paying the higher combined cost, the hours worked were generally in excess of one full-time job.
The Committee recommends the 10% increase applicable to other town wages and salaries.

Conclusion: In our opinion the salary paid for this posi- tion is in line with the average paid by other towns for this job. We recommend the 10% increase applicable to salaries of other town employees.
SCHOOLS
The budget for the School Department shows requests of almost $503,000, approximately 13% more than was spent last year. Over 80% of the increase is for salaries, which, we believe, is justified, if we are to at least hold our own in maintaining our teaching staff.
We definitely recommend the expenditures requested in Articles 27 and 28. Under present conditions, the mainte- nance of our school plant in the best possible condition is real economy.
We have made no recommendation under Article 25, as we feel that the School Committee, which is also acting as the Building Committee, is in a better position to justify the ad- ditional request. However, we do believe that the actual supervision of the construction of any building of this size,
-42-
school or otherwise, should be done by a special committee, in consultation with the regular town department involved. The School Committee's primary function is to supervise the education of our children and the problems requiring their attention are difficult enough without involving them in all the details required to supervise directly the construction of a building.
MANOMET SCHOOL
Your Advisory and Finance Committee is convinced that something must be done immediately for the Manomet school children. This year there is a total of 129 pupils from the Manomet area, 10 of whom are now being transported to the Hedge School in Plymouth. The remaining 119 are being ac- commodated in the present three-room schoolhouse in Mano- met, which is suitable for only 90 pupils at the very most. It is imperative that 35-40 pupils from Manomet be accommodated elsewhere than at the present Manomet school, beginning at the start of the school year in the fall. It is obvious that, whether an addition to the present school is made, or a new school is constructed (even if the decision can be made at this annual town meeting), it will be impossible to have ad- ditional school rooms ready in Manomet by this fall.
To solve the immediate problem for this year, and it must be at least alleviated this year, the Committee suggests that the present school be used for no more than 100 pupils during the coming school year and that the remainder be transferred to Plymouth.
With the completion of the new Cold Spring school this summer, there should be ample space in Plymouth to absorb these extra pupils without crowding any classroom much be- yond the ideal limit. We appreciate the fact that it makes a long and tiring day for the children, when they must make the long bus or auto trip to Plymouth. We therefore suggest that, if possible, the lower grades be kept at the Manomet school and the older children be transported to Plymouth.
There is no question that the Special Committee has done an excellent job under difficult circumstances. They had no money with which to work and, as a result, were able to con- sult only one architect, who is also the architect for the new Cold Spring school. They have only preliminary drawings and rough estimates.
-43-
The present building is sound but definitely inadequate in size and in dire need of a new heating system, and fire es- cape, as well as modern sanitary facilities.
We realize that the present location presents some prob- lems for enlargement of the present building; nevertheless, the estimate of $185,000 for an addition of two classrooms, a general purpose room (for assemblies, lunch, etc.) and sev- eral small utility rooms, seems very high. If the Town con- structs a new school on a different location at an estimated cost of $243,000, what will be done with the present building, which everyone admits is basically sound? Granted, that it cannot be used much longer without a new heating system and new sanitary facilities.
However, if we operate two comparatively small school units in the Manomet area, we will only increase our operat- ing costs and reduce efficiency. The Finance Committee is, therefore, convinced that this problem should have further detailed special study. We recommend under Article 31:
"That the Town vote to appropriate or transfer from the Post-War Rehabilitation Fund the sum of $10,000, to be 'expended by the Manomet School Committee, to make further detailed study, consult with other architects and obtain plans, specifications and complete costs for an addition to the present school and also plans for a new school; said committee to be directed to work with the Planning Board and, after consultation with the School Committee, to submit a full report at a special town meet- ing to be held not later than October 1st of this year."
Further study of three or four months will not mean any real delay, as no new construction can reasonably be com- pleted and ready for use much before the middle of 1952. Furthermore, we do not believe that adequate discussion and decision on a project of this size can be made at a regular town meeting, where the pressure of regular town business limits the time which should be spent on it. In previous town meetings, when a project of this size had to be considered, the result has often been that inadequate consideration has been given to subsequent articles.
Following the practice of past years, we present here- with a summary of departmental expenditures for 1950, as itemized in Schedule B of the Town Accountant's report included in the Town Report.

The following summary of expenditures recommended by your committee for 1951, presented below, should indicate approximately what tax rate will result, if our recommenda- tions are followed and if the funds from other sources than the tax levy are as estimated. Based on the 1950 valuation of approximately $27,000,000, the tax rate would be approxi- mately $46. A conservative estimate of $1,000,000 increase in the valuation in 1951 will reduce this estimated tax rate to approximately $44.50.

We would like to extend our thanks and appreciation to the various departments and offices of the Town for the fine co-operation and reasonable attitude they have shown us.
We regret that it has been impossible to make this report available to the Town earlier; unfortunately, some of the budgets were delayed, which held up our consideration. We hope in the future that it will be possible to submit at least estimated budgets in December and that some method may be worked out to close the warrant earlier, and reduce the number of special articles. We also believe it would be help- ful if the special committees could submit their findings to the Finance Committee by December first or very shortly thereafter.
In closing, we will, of course, be glad to present our reasoning in reaching our recommendations on any particular
-46-
points where questions may arise, in order that the voters of the Town may reach their own conclusions on each issue.
