REPORT OF ADVISORY AND FINANCE COMMITTEE FOR 1960
Your Advisory and Finance Committee has carefully considered the budgets of the several departments and offi- ces of the Town, as well as the special articles set forth in the warrant, and is pleased to submit its recommendations for your consideration.
Having in mind that, in addition to town taxes, the in- creasing national, state and county taxes also are ultimately reflected in your pocketbooks, the recommendations of your Committee, which are the result of its collective judgment, provide for salaries and wages which it believes fair to the employees of the Town and to the residents who pay them and for adequate maintenance and improvement of the Town's plant and physical property. Also we have recom- mended purchases of new equipment, vehicles, machines and other items which will improve the operating efficiency and the service rendered by the departments and offices and fur- nish the Town in general with facilities which will benefit the needs of its residents as well as make it attractive to visitors.
When one considers that the Town of Plymouth is 109 square miles in area, upon much of which low taxes are levied, has 268 miles of streets and roads to maintain and improve, has a 20-mile coast line to protect, and presently, with an almost static population and industry, is to be faced with huge school and sewer problems, it is evident that all the improvements which may be thought desirable cannot be made at once. The Committee has had to distinguish in its recommendations between those proposed expenditures which are immediately necessary, those which may be ad- visable but which can be deferred, and those which can be eliminated, in all cases having in mind the total tax burden which the citizens must bear. However, we must progress and intelligent expenditures must be made to the end that all sections of the Town will benefit and become attractive to its residents and prospective residents and to its visitors from whom the Town derives so large a part of its total an- nual business income. It is such expenditures, in the light of present economic conditions, that the Advisory and Finance Committee, acting in your behalf, believes it has recommend- ed.

We wish to express our thanks and appreciation to the departments and offices of the Town, to committees and to the Personnel Board for their cooperation and the aid which they have given us in arriving at our determinations. Respectfully submitted,

Based on the 1959 valuation of $37,887,425, this total will require a tax rate of approximately $59.40.
An increase of $1,000,000 in the valuation would reduce this tax rate by approximately $1.50.
Each $38,000 added to or subtracted from the net total above would increase or decrease the tax rate approximate- ly $1.
REPORT OF PERSONNEL BOARD
The Personnel Board investigated the work and standard rates of salaries of the various positions subject to the pro- visions of the Salary Classification by-law and, as a result, recommends adjustments in salaries and wages totalling ap- proximately $24,000. This amount includes a 10¢ hourly in- crease in wages in the labor group and increases resulting from changes in classifications in other groups.
Our investigation included the review of job descriptions for all of the clerical group, a study of the relative position of the wages and salaries of the foremen and the executive group, and a study of the Police and Fire Departments to determine a means of providing a greater spread in salaries between the various positions within these departments.
Our reason for recommending the 10¢ increase for the labor group is based upon our findings in making a number of studies of towns having similar populations, which showed that the general wage level of our labor group was somewhat low.
With the new classifications, the general salary level of the Town of Plymouth compares favorably with other towns that were included in our survey.
The above recommendations will increase the tax rate approximately 63¢, based on the 1959 valuation.
