REPORT OF THE FINANCE COMMITTEE
To the members of the Representative Town Meeting:
The conditions of our existence throughout the entire country at the present time are placing a heavy burden upon resources in order to maintain an equilibrium in our social structure that will produce peace and comfort to our people.
But Swampscott is a snug little town, one of the smallest in area in the State and not too large population, a class of people in general who are sensible, conservative and progressive with eyes on betterments and improvements that will ultimately be achieved. Therefore it should be governed with a minimum of expense.
So at the moment, with problems of increasing requirements for the welfare assistance, decreasing total valuation of assessable pro- perty, the large percentage of uncollected taxes at the end of the fiscal year and anticipated extra costs of operating the various town departments, we have been greeted with a willingness of co-opera- tion in the allocation of town monies to permit a budget which will allow the town to operate, care for the needy, show a progressive front with favorable comparison against previous years.
In making our recommendation on the articles of the warrant we have been greatly aided by co-operation of citizens and town officials and have arrived at mutual understandings on budget re- quirements which should result in harmonious adoption of the ap- propriations for this year, allowing your committee to act as a clear- ing house for the common good.
Article 4-We recommend that the Town Clerk be required to furnish a bond in the amount of one thousand dollars and the custo- dian of Trust Funds be required to furnish a bond in the sum of ten thousand dollars for the ensuing year.
Article 5-We recommend that the Town Treasurer, with the approval of the Selectmen, be and hereby is authorized to borrow up to $600,000 from time to time in anticipation of the revenue of the financial year beginning January 1, 1936, and to issue a note or notes therefor, payable within one year and to renew any note or notes as may be given for a period of less than one year in accor- dance with Section 17, Chapter 44, General Laws.
Article 6-We recommend that the salaries of the Surveyor of Highways and Water and Sewer Commissioners be the same as the year 1935.
Article 8-We recommend that action on this article be indefi- nitely postponed.
Article 9-We recommend that the item for water of $75,000 be taken from the estimated receipts of the Water Department for the current year.
We recommend that the following amounts be appropriated for the various departments for the ensuing year.

Article 10-In view of the fact that a committee has already made a comprehensive study and report pertaining to a Board of Public Works, which was later referred to the Finance Committee and has since been acted upon by the Town Meeting members, we believe that it is not necessary to appropriate any further funds. We recommend that the present Finance Committee be empowered to give the matter of a Board of Public Works further study and bring their recommendations before a special town meeting to be called at a future date.
Article 12-We recommend that the Selectmen or their repre- sentative be authorized to sell property taken by the town under tax title procedure, after first giving notice of the time and place of sale by posting such notice of sale in some public place in the town at least fourteen days before the sale, and that they or whosoever they may authorize to hold such public auction may reject any bid which they deem inadequate.
Article 13-As the town voted to indefinitely postpone this arti- cle last year we do not believe that conditions causing such a vote have been changed, we therefore recommend that action on this article be indefinitely postponed.
Article 14-In order to close out unused balances from loan orders we recommend the High School Committee $1.90 and Stanley School $41.71 be transferred to the account of New High School building.
Article 15-We recommend that the sum of $43.67 be appropri- ated to the account of unpaid bills contracted prior to Jan. 1, 1936, which remained unpaid at the time of closing the books for 1935: Soldiers' Relief, $6.95; Tree Warden, $12.11; Fire, $24.61.
Article 16-While there seems to be justification in the claims of the Chairman of the World War Honor Roll Committee in en- deavoring to recover the sum of $230.24 expended by him personally, we do not believe that the Finance Committee should establish the precedent of refunding unauthorized amounts spent personally by any individual, we therefore recommend that action on this article be indefinitely postponed.
Article 17-In the opinion of the committee this article should not be acted on until specific bills bearing the approval of the Public Welfare Department have been submitted to the Town Accountant and have been furnished to this Committee. Accordingly we recom- mend action on this article be indefinitely postponed.
Article 18-For the same reason as given in Article 17 we rec- ommend action on this article be indefinitely postponed.
Article 19-We believe the salaries paid by the town are very fair and do not desire to increase or decrease them. We therefore recommend that the town authorize the Board of Public Welfare to
28
TOWN DOCUMENTS
[Dec. 31
appoint one of its own members as agent and investigating officer and fix the salary at $800 for the year 1936 as provided by Chapter 41, Sec. 4A of the General Laws. (Ter. Ed.)
Article 20-We recommend that the town authorize the Board of Assessors, the Park Commission, the Board of Public Welfare and the Planning Board to appoint a member of their respective boards to act as secretary thereof and receive pay which has been provided for in the several above mentioned budgets as provided by Chapter 41, Section 4A of the General Laws. (Ter. Ed.)
Article 21-As we have cared for a conservative expansion along this line in another article, we recommend that action on this article be indefinitely postponed.
Article 22-We believe that the town should extend permanent road construction gradually each year. We recommend that $4,000 be appropriated to resurface a piece of road approximately 900 feet along Farragut Road, from the Junction of Walker Road to Ellis Road, using bituminous macadam, as recommended by the Surveyor of Highways.
Article 23-As this fence does not seem to be in the immediate need of rebuilding, we recommend that action on this article be in- definitely postponed.
Article 24-As the location on Bay View Drive mentioned in this article creates a hazard to the public safety we recommend that $150 be appropriated for the erection of a fence as recommended by the Surveyor of Highways.
Article 25-As a portion of the fence on Humphrey street at Blaney Beach needs repairing as well as a cement step at this loca- tion, we recommend that $100 be appropriated for repairs, as recom- mended by the Survevor of Highways.
Article 26-We recommend that the sum of $150 be appropriated to repair the leaking roofs at the town yard, as recommended by the Surveyor of Highways.
