Report of the Finance Committee.


To the Citizens of the Town of Saugus :


The Finance Committee submit the following report on all matters in the town warrants calling for the appropriating of money ; also our estimates for appropriations for the several departments for the year nineteen hundred and eleven. We have attended to our duties by the holding of frequent meetings, and hearings have been given to all parties in interest, and our recommendations have been submitted after careful and deliber- ate judgment. Differences of opinion may exist in regard to particular matters but the sole purpose of your Finance Com- mittee is to produce the best results for the whole town, and to make all conditions conducive to a high standing of government. While your Committee recognize the importance and great necessity of many of the things asked for, calling for the appro- priation of money, they are obliged to cut in some places in order that the total amount called for may not increase the present high tax rate. Yet despite our efforts, the rate keeps well up in the advance guard and it should be remembered that the Finance Committee can only recommend. To the depart- ments which have the expenditure of the money, belongs the great responsibility of seeing that whatever money is appropri- ated, is judiciously and economically expended, and no Board should expend in excess except whereby the safety or health of the citizens or their property are involved, and it is, therefore, incumbent upon the various departments of the town in making up their estimates for the year to be as moderate as a fair service of the public necessity will permit. Moderation in estimate and appropriation must also be followed by good judgment and efficiency in expenditures, if we are to come out on the right side of the ledger. The situation which confronts us is serious,


71


REPORT OF FINANCE COMMITTEE.


but we believe it can be solved with some degree of satisfaction when the moral sense of the community is awakened, to work earnestly, energetically and solely in the public interest, and upon the citizens rests the final responsibility. The growth of the town depends largely on the keeping of our tax rate within reasonable limits, and this point we should bear well in mind in the making of our appropriations and the administration of our affairs. Let us use our best efforts for all that tends to a better Saugus and all that makes our Town great and prosperous. To be sure, we have much to do and are not overburdened with resources with which to do it, but this affords an added reason why we should bend every energy in demonstrating that pru- dence and progress can go hand in hand, and that economy and accomplishment in municipal development are not incon- sistent. We feel we have been honored by your confidence and appreciation and we desire to express to the citizens our grati- fication at the cordial support. The past year the Committee suffered the loss of one member by death, A. Clarke Newhall. The Town, as also the Committee, lost a valued member, a true, honest, conscientious man and who had served the Town faithfully. Appropriate resolutions were recorded. Herbert G. Hatch was elected to fill the vacancy. On account of removal from town, M. V. Putnam and H. A. B. Peckham resigned from the Committee. The vacancies were filled by the Committee, by the election of Walter Sprague and F. N. Kinney. H. H. Atherton, Jr. resigned from business reasons and his resignation caused the election by the Committee of W. L. C. Niles. We very respectfully invite your consideration of our esti mates for the municipal year which follows :


Schools.


Saugus is keenly appreciative of the value and importance of generous financial provision for the education of its young people. For this purpose it has been willing to spend money freely but always with insistence that it be prudently and wisely expended and this, we believe, is being done. The erection of modern school -houses and the maintenance of our schools at a high


-


72


REPORT OF FINANCE COMMITTEE.


standard has caused a large expenditure of money and will continue to with the increased demands and growth of the town. After careful consideration by the Committee we are of the opinion that the sum of $45,000 should be recommended for schools.


Highway Department.


In the last few years a very important new element has had to be considered in the repairs of our highways. We refer to the great increase in the number of automobiles which certainly make it much harder to keep the roads in good condition and therefore the annual amount to be expended will naturally have to increase with due regard to the needs of the Town and the means at our disposal. It should be remembered that the Street Railroad and Excise Tax now amounting to something like $6,500 is expended on our highways and is added to our high- way appropriation. We believe that the appropriation made last year for the laying of dust was a move in the right direction and on the whole was satisfactory. It is not wholly a question of laying dust but also the preservation, for the highway is an important consideration, and we know that other materials besides water are being used exclusively in all the cities and towns about us, and we would recommend a sufficient sum be appro- priated for street sprinkling exclusive of the sum estimated for highways. We make the following estimate for Highways and Bridges $5,000 together with the Excise and Street Railway Tax of $6,500, making a total sum of $11,500 exclusive of street sprinkling.


Selectmen's Incidentals.


This department in our opinion should be "Contingent Fund," as the Selectmen have very little to do with the expenditures. The amount required is difficult to estimate. We believe, how- ever, that everything of a fixed nature should be taken from this account and a special appropriation made. We should esti mate for this account the sum of $7,000.


73


REPORT OF FINANCE COMMITTEE.


Assessors Department.


After careful consideration of the expenses of this Department we feel justified in our opinion that the sum of $1,600 should be recommended and feel that the Town should be congratulated on the good management of the Department.


Water Department.


The extension of the water system is a serious question and demands careful consideration, not only by the Committee but also by the citizens of the Town. Your Committee do not feel justified in suggesting to the Town more than $5,000 loan, keeping in mind the fact that we have $4,000 unexpended balance from the North Saugus loan that can only be used for the extension of pipes. For maintainance of the system we would estimate $1,000.


Board of Health.


The health of the community must be guarded zealously and Saugus has taken a front position in this respect. We note the Plumbing Inspector received the sum of $761 last year. We are of the opinion that a salary should apply to this position and shall hope to see this so arranged this year. The amount we estimate for the Board of Health is $1,800 not to include the salary of the Inspector of Plumbing and should not include the salary for Secretary, as it is the intention of the Town, that Salaries are voted at the annual meeting.


Fire Department.


Efficiency in the Fire Department to a great extent depends on apparatus and we should keep abreast of the times in this regard as far as our financial condition would seem to warrant. Last year we recommended that a committee be appointed and the Town so voted and until such time as the committee make their report it would seem unwise to make an estimate of the amount needed by the Department at this time, as no doubt a change will be made and the expenditures of previous years give no data upon which to base such estimate.


74


REPORT OF FINANCE COMMITTEE.


Police Department.


We have kept this Department down to the minimum for some years and recognize because of this fact it has suffered to some extent in efficiency, but with the large growth of the Town we must recognize that there is a natural increase in the work in this department, necessitating an increase in expenditures. We would estimate for this department the sum of $5,600.


Interest, Water and School=house Bonds.


The sum of $14,000 must be paid for interest this year and . you should consider these large amounts as they are increasing at a rapid rate. Water and School-house bonds we must meet this year to the amount of $13,000 ..


Overseers of the Poor.


It seems necessary that the sum of $3,200 be estimated for the Overseers of the Poor for the expense of this department.


Street Lighting.


We think the policy of the Selectmen in taking out many arc lights and installing incandescents is certainly a move in the right direction and must result in a better lighting of our town, and finally, in a saving of money under the present system. We estimate the sum of $7,250 for street lighting.


Riverside Cemetery.


For the care and maintenance of Riverside Cemetery, we should estimate the sum of $2,500.


Sidewalks.


Sidewalk improvements must and should be continued as we believe there is no better asset than good sidewalks, and a policy should be adopted whereby continuous sidewalks could be con- structed along our main highways to accommodate our entire people. We estimate for concrete sidewalks the sum of $350.


75


REPORT OF FINANCE COMMITTEE.


Insurance.


Insurance this year will amount to $1,275 and must be ap- propriated.


Repairs, Town Buildings and Grounds.


For the best interests of the Town we would estimate that the sum of $2,000 will be required this year.


Repairs, Interior School Buildings.


We estimate $1,000 for this expense.


Tree Warden.


Two hundred dollars would seem to be the amount required for the Tree warden.


State and Military Aid.


The amount required this year will be $3,500.


Public Library.


Because of the lack of information owing to the failure of the Chairman of the Board of Trustees to appear before your Committee as notified, according to the by-laws of the Town, we are unable to base our estimate on present conditions. Last year the Town voted $500 and the dog tax $646.06 and receipts.


Soldiers' Relief.


The amount required this year will be $950.


Salaries.


Owing to a probable change in the Fire Department which would necessitate a change in salaries, we are unable at this time to give an estimate only on salaries exclusive of that De- partment, which is $2,025, to which must be added whatever amount the Town shall vote for salaries for the Fire Department.


76


REPORT OF FINANCE COMMITTEE.


State and County Tax.


This amount will be as large and probably larger than last year and we estimate that $17,500 will be required.


Sinking Fund.


This fund requires the sum of $500.


Lock=Up.


The policy adopted by the Town last year of making a separate appropriation for this department seems to be satisfactory. We estimate the sum of $325 for the expense of the Lock-up.


Gypsy and Browntail Moths.


The state requires that we should appropriate this year the sum of $2,204.20.


Hydrant Service.


The sum of $504 is required for Hydrant service.

E. B. OLIVER, Chairman, F. C. CHEEVER, Secretary.
