Report of the Finance Committee.
To the Citizens of the Town of Saugus:
Agreeable to the custom we present our Annual Report for your consideration. first, we desire to thank the citizens for their expression of confidence in the Finance Committee, and as before stated, it must be remembered that this Committee's duties are purely advisory, but we assume that the citizens expect from the Committee recommendations which are based on actual investigations and on the knowledge of affairs that such investi- gation shows, and that has been the theory on which the Com- mittee has acted. Conditions are such that careful, economical and conscientious exercise of the best abilities that are possessed by our public servants is required, and we believe that you feel the responsibilities which rest upon you, and we urge you not to vote any appropriation to please others, which have not the approval of your own conscience and judgment, if you do this the results accomplished will raise still higher the standard of our Town.
We might as well face the problem squarely and realize that there is but one way to keep down taxes, and that is to keep down expenses, consistent with the natural increase of the Town. Postponement by borrowing simply increases the burden of taxation, it costs money to borrow money. It seems to your Committee that a successful administration of our Town may be accomplished by constantly bearing in mind that its officers are the trustees and agents of their fellow citizens, holding their funds in sacred trust, to be expended for their best interest, and that the offices of the Town should be conducted as far as possible upon the same principle as a good business man manages his private concerns.
56
REPORT OF FINANCE COMMITTEE.
We believe the Town desires men who have the courage to do their duty, the courage of their convictions, who are not afraid to stand up for the truth even though it may be unpopular, and who can say no with emphasis, men who are true to the Town through adversity as well as prosperity.
The development of civic interest is really needed on the part of every citizen of the Town, and the issues to be dealt with de- served to be discussed without the slightest feeling or prejudice, for it profoundly concerns the welfare of Saugus. Your Finance Committee desire to co-operate with the people and have them understand that we are working together. We want to be frank with you and show that we are not unreasonable but work- ing for what we believe to be for the very best interest of all our citizens, and deal with them in the most open way possible. We have tried to avoid no responsibility, we have simply done our best to merit the confidence and respect of the citizens of the Town. In conclusion we wish to state that we are firmly of the opinion that the Town gains no advantage from the investigations of its Finance Committee, or its recommendations, and that the vote of the citizens mean very little unless the Town officers and boards confine themselves within the appropriations as voted in Town Meeting, and no officer or boards of the Town should expend intentionally any sum in excess of the appropriation duly made by the Town, except in case of extreme emergency involv- ing the health or safety of the people.
We conceive it our duty to urge on you at this time the im- portance of making no appropriation which is not absolutely needed, and exercising a most careful supervision of all expenses, so that our tax which burdens the people may be kept down as much as possible.
We promise you our best endeavors to co-operate with the citizens in accomplishing the very best results for the Town of Saugus.
Following are the amounts we recommend for the municipal year.
57
REPORT OF FINANCE COMMITTEE.
Schools.
No question is of greater importance than that of schools and the education of the young. Saugus has always maintained a high reputation for the quality of education that has been furnished by the public schools. This year it is probable that we shall have to take up the matter of a school building in East Saugus, this will naturally add considerably to the expense of our School Department now growing at an alarming figure, and must of necessity, continue to grow as the Town's population increases. After careful consideration by your Committee, it seems inadvisable to recommend a smaller sum than $41,000.
Highway Department.
This Department has proved to be one of the most difficult questions that your Committee has had entrusted to them. The amounts requested are large and the demands urgent from every part of the Town. The exercise of judgment as to the need of expenditures is a very important feature, and we believe that the appropriations voted at the Annual Meeting together with the Street Railroad and Excise Tax should be sufficient for the ex- pense of the Department for the entire year, and except in case of extreme emergency, whereby the safety of the public is in- volved, there should be no excuse of the overrun of the Depart- ment. We recommend the sum of $4,000.
Selectmen's Incidentals.
We recommend for the year of 1910 the sum of $6,500 for this Department. We believe this year we should depart from the usual policy of including in this appropriation such amounts as appear to be fixed charges, which more properly should be taken care of under special appropriations namely, Commissions for Collection of Taxes.
Assessors' Department.
We believe this Department will require the sum of $1,500, and we recommend this amount.
58
REPORT OF FINANCE COMMITTEE.
Water Department.
For Maintenance we recommend $600, and for extension of the Water System, $3,000.
Board of Health
This department has always had the amount paid for plumbing inspection included in their appropriation, and while this inspection comes under their department, we believe a sep- arate appropriation should be made. Last year they paid your plumbing inspector the sum of $550.00. We therefore would · recommend $1,350.00 for the Board of Health and $550.00 to be appropriated to defray the expense of plumbing inspection.
Fire Department
The efficiency of the Fire Department is a matter in which every citizen is vitally interested, and this department should be kept up to the highest mark possible consistent with present financial condition of the Town. The situation does not seem to be entirely satisfactory and we would recommend that a com- mittee be appointed to investigate for the Town the conditions and needs of this department and report their findings. If no change is made we would recommend the same amount, $2,000.00.
Police Department
The citizens must recognize with the rapid growth of the Town that the demands in this department naturally increase ; we therefore recommend $4,800.00.
Interest, Water and Schoolhouse Bonds
It is necessary to recommend the sum of $12,000.00 for inter- est. This is a large amount, and the Town should consider carefully before making any further loans which must always increase our interest account. This year we must meet bonds amounting to $10,000.00.
59
REPORT OF FINANCE COMMITTEE.
Overseers of the Poor
The Committee recommend the sum of $3,000.00.
Street Lighting
The present service will require the sum of $7,492.00.
Riverside Cemetery
The sum of $2,500.00 seems necessary for the care of River- side Cemetery, and we recommend this amount.
Sidewalks
We are of the opinion that sidewalk improvement should be continued with due regard to the needs of the Town and the means at our disposal, and a policy that can be adopted whereby continuous sidewalks shall be built along the entire length of our main streets will commend itself to the citizens. We recom- mend $400.00.
Insurance
The amount required this year will be $1,040.46.
Repairs Town Buildings and Grounds
It would seem unwise to recommend a sum less than $1,000.00.
Repairs Interior School Buildings
We recommend $1,000.00.
Tree Warden
We recommend the same amount as last year, $200.00.
State and Military Aid
The amount required this year is $3,500.00.
60
REPORT OF FINANCE COMMITTEE.
Public Library We recommend Receipts, Dog Tax and $500.00.
Soldiers' Relief
The amount required will be $700.00.
Sinking Fund An appropriation must be made for this fund of $500.00.
Lockup
In years past this expense has been defrayed by court fines, but we believe that the fines should be paid to the treasurer of the Town, and an appropriation made to defray expenses of the lockup.
