1957 Annual Report
Accounting Department
I. MURRAY ADAMS, Accountant
Because of the current economic maladjustment, which may become much more severe, it is difficult to properly assess projected costs. Despite a marked decrease in business activity prices continue high, and there is no indication that there will be a weakening of the price structure. Consequently all budgets are based upon prevailing prices, and in some instances allowance should be made for increasing costs, such as telephone service.
The financial position of the town is better than last year for excise tax pay- ments were materially higher, thus providing the town with more money to meet increased costs, and added services. A very small transfer was made last year from the E & D fund, thus building up a larger fund which may be used to stabilize the 1958 tax rate. There is $204,000.00 in this account, after setting aside sufficient money to pay for the school land taking.
It will be noted that in governmental finance, proponents of projects which entail the expenditure of considerable sums of money find it difficult to take an objective position, allowing for inescapable repairs and replacements of existing services, and other projects, which are forcefully supported by their advocates. Basic- ally, new services entail added expenses and higher taxes. If it is insisted that continual expansion be undertaken, the unavoidable corollary is increasing taxes.
In accordance with the provision of Section 61, Chapter 41, of the General Laws, the following report is submitted. It is arranged in accordance with the rules prescribed by the Director of Accounts. A detailed report of the receipts and expen- ditures for the year ending December 31, 1957, is available in this office.
