REPORT OF THE FINANCE COMMITTEE
The Finance Committee organized for the year with George M. Campbell as Chairman and Abramo L. Mufatti as Clerk. Meetings were held during the year to discuss in detail budget requests of the various departments and committees and we ex- tend to them our appreciation for their cooperation and assis- tance.

The largest increase was in the School budget with $19,138.05 for Elementary Schools and $11,328.44 for Wachusett Regional School. Schools require 64.62% of this budget for 1963.
