REPORT OF THE FINANCE COMMITTEE
The Finance Committee organized for the year with George M. Campbell as Chairman and Roger L. Culver as Clerk. David A. Darrah was appointed to the Committee to fill the vacancy due to the resignation of Donald Martin.
Numerous meetings and conferences were held during the year with the various members of the committees and boards to review in detail their budget requests, and we wish to extend our apprecia- tion for their cooperation and assistance. It is gratifying to note that a majority of the departments kept within their 1959 appropriations .
The total 1960 departmental budget to be raised from the 1960 tax levy (not including action to be taken on Town Warrant article is $35,705.00 above 1959. The largest increases are, Rutland Elementary School - $17,973.00; Wachusett Regional School - #8607.00; There is also an increase in the Highways account of $5805.00 which is due in part to funds from State reimbursement under Chapter 718 which were available in 1959 but will not be in 1960 0
In our report last year we recommended under Article 3 of the Town Warrant, relative to salaries of the elected town of - ficers, that the salary of the Town Treasurer be increased by $300.00 and that of the Town Collector by $200.00 which was favor- ably voted. We also recommended that a committee be appointed to study the salaries of the other elected officers and make a rec- commendation at the next annual Town Meeting in 1960. The commit- tee was appointed by the Town Moderator and their report is pub- lished herein. The Finance Committee has approved in full the committee's recommendations and has provided for the salary in- creases in our recommended departmental budget.
We also believe it is feasible to publish a segregated analysis of the Rutland Elementary School budget and have sub- mitted it herein.
The following transfers from the Reserve Fund to the various 1959 accounts were authorized by this Committee:
