Report of the Finance Committee MARCH 2, 1942 To the Representative Town Meeting and Citizens of the Town of Saugus
The Finance Committee herewith submits its report on the 1942 Bud- get :
The Committee, in the prepara- tion of its recommendations, has endeavored to be fair with the tax- payer and employee alike. We recognize the fact that this year, as never before, it is necessary to curtail to the limit all expenditures which are not absolutely essential to the operation of our Town Gov- ernment. This is, of course, due to the war with the subsequent in- creases in State and Federal taxes, the ever-increasing cost of food, clothing and other commodities, as well as to the probability of higher and more extensive taxes and costs in the future. As a result of these conditions, however, we are forced to realize that these increased taxes and living costs hit the employee as well as the taxpayer. It is, in the opinion of this Committee, only
fair too make an upward adjust- ment of salaries in some instances, including in particular the school teachers in the lower salary brack- ets who have admittedly been un- derpaid in the past. The Commit- tee is definitely opposed to in- creases for all Town employees and feels that in most instances the compensation has been (conserva- tively speaking) adequate. The Committee does not recommend the requested ten percent raise in the Police Department salaries, feel- ing that the regular patrolman's salary of $40.00 per week (with no retirement contribution necessary) is all that we can afford. The Committee also bears in mind that the Town granted one day off in six for this department at the last Annual Town Meeting.
Due to the fact that State and County figures are not available on taxes and assessments, there is no
30
TOWN DOCUMENTS
[Dec 31
way of forecasting accurately what we must do to obtain a specific tax rate. The Committee feels, however, that if the recommenda- tions set forth in this report are followed, that the change in the
rate from that of last year will not be a considerable one, bearing in mind the increase in valuation as a result of new construction during the past year, as well as known increased Town income.

Comments on the General Budget, Article 2
Item 4, Selectmen. The Com- mittee is recommending a higher amount in the Selectmen's Budget than the request, due to the fact that the submitted budget did not contain the salary of the Clerk of the Board. It was the intention of the Board to take care of this item in another department's bud- get, paying the clerk his full sal- ary in another position and allow- ing him to work for nothing in the Selectman's clerical post. The Com- mittee feels that it would not be a good arrangement for several reasons and that the Clerk of the Board should be paid out of this account.
Item 13, Election and Registra- tion. The increased amount is partly due to the Registrars' "Poll" Book publication, which was omit- ted last year. We feel that this should be included with the amount as recommended. There is one more regular election this year than last.
Item 19, Police. The recom- mendation is practically the same as last year's expenditures, with a small additional amount for extra firearms and ammunition. The Committee deleted the requested item of equipment for auxiliary police, feeling that this "defense expenditure" should be made from the (special article) general ap- propriation for defense purposes. As previously indicated, the salary increases are not recommended.
Item 23, Fire and Police Build- ing. This is to provide for addi- tional fuel and light for this build-
ing, which is used as a defense headquarters by numerous units, also as first-aid instruction center, draft board and others, as well as to bring the pay of the janitor in line with existing rates for those at the Town Hall.
Item 24, Fire Alarm. Addition- al funds are necessary to safeguard this important factor of defense and preservation of property at this time.
Item 25, Fire Department. In- crease is due entirely to the nec- essity of properly maintaining the high standard of defense of prop- erty during this critical period. New hose is the principal item which increases the budget over last year.
I t e m 27, Superintendent of Buildings (Building Inspector). The work in this department has increased considerably in recent years although the Committee does not feel that a full-time man is absolutely essential under present conditions.
Item 29, Gypsy Moth. The cur- tailment of W. P. A. operations make it necessary to increase this budget in order to properly com- bat this menace.
Item 32, Schools. The increase is due almost entirely to the eleva- tion of the salaries of teachers as previously commented on. Item 34, Library. Painting the Library and small increases in compensation of employees cause this recommendation.
Item 35, Welfare Temporary Aid. Increased basic allowances per case
31
ANNUAL TOWN MEETING
1942]
due to increased costs of commodi- ties, plus the surprisingly high number of cases on relief, cause the amount recommended. We feel, however, that constantly improv- ing economic conditions should en- able this department to operate within this amount.
Item 35A, Old Age Assistance. A higher basic allowance as de- creed by the Federal Government and Commonwealth for reasons similar to above cause this account to need additional funds.
Item 36, Infirmary. The Com- mittee feels that the unused fund ($1,700), voted last year for a sit- ting room for inmates, be utilized in the general operating costs of this department this year.
Item 39, W. P. A. The Finance Committee is of the opinion that a considerable reduction in this de- partment's budget should be effect- ed this year as a result of im- proved conditions. We are recom- mending a total W. P. A. Budget of $15,500, to include $5,000 for Sewer Construction.
Item 40, Highway Department. The Committee feels that in view of the fact that no Chapter 90 (State and County) work will be done this year in continuing the construction of Hesper Street and Central Street, that this depart- ment should not find it necessary to place on the regular Highway Department payroll labor formerly paid from the Chapter 90 account.
Item 40A, Resurfacing. We feel that asphalt will not be available to the Town in amounts previously used and as this account is chiefly for purchase of asphalt, that the savings shown in our recommenda- tions should be made in the tax rate.
Item 41, Snow and Ice. The Committee feels that the appropri- ation made for this account should be used strictly for this purpose and that the amount recommended should be sufficient, providing we have no more severe storms this year.
Item 44, Water Maintenance. We feel that a small additional cost in this department is neces- sary, but that the increase re- quested is more than we can af- ford.
Item 47, Cemetery. The Com- mittee feels that this department is doing a fine job and that the re- quested amount is a reasonable figure. We are recommending, however, a deletion of $355 from the request ($350 from the item "clerical" and $5 from "gas and oil"). There is $1,763.46 in avail- able funds, making the total recom- mended $13,350.
Item 50, Health Department. We feel that the figure recommend- ed is sufficient to operate the de- partment without granting pay in- creases to employees and without the item of $400 for the use of cars by the two health inspectors. Last year this Committee felt that the Board of Health had agreed to eliminate the latter item but found that it had merely eliminated the naving of "mileage", substituting payment for "use of cars."
Item 55A, Sewer Maintenance. The Committee feels that with a reduction of sewer construction work and with the removal of the office to the Public Works Build- ing, that the savings should justi- fy the figure recommended. We do not approve of the creation of the position of "Assistant Superinten- dent of Public Work" to be paid in toal from the Sewer Department budget, and have deleted from our recommendations all provisions for same except for an amount paid to this individual last year as Clerk of the Sewer Department. We feel that any other work done in some other department should be paid out of the other department's budget.
Item 60. Reserve Fund. We feel that a Reserve Fund of at least the amount recommended should be available in case of emergency dur" ing the critical period, and that it may obviate the necessity of one or more Special Town Meetings during the year.
