In my opinion the "Pay-as-you-go" policy has been found the proper course to pursue in ordinary times. I see no reason, however, for the real estate tax payers of to-day to carry the excessive load of Public Work expenditures to relieve unemployment and distress as well as liquidate the debt incurred during previous years for public im- provements which serve the people over a long period of time. Some source of revenue, other than taxes on real estate, should be made available to ease this burden.
The average tax rate for the past ten years has been $24.51 which is much lower than the average rate for the Commonwealth. Were it not for the cost of Public Welfare, Soldiers' Benefits, Old Age Assis- tance and the South Metropolitan Sewerage Assessments the 1934 tax rate for Weymouth would have been under $20.00.
The net debt of the Town is $716,000 which is less than it was in 1928, while the borrowing capacity in the same period has doubled from $354,999.60 to $711,779.73.
Surplus Revenue has increased over $50,000 to $184,786.09, and the uncollected taxes are at a figure much below that of a year ago, the result of efficient administration by the Tax Collector.
The problems confronting the department heads during 1934 were many and varied. The allotment of funds by the Federal Emergency Relief Administration with the demand that all material costs be met by the Town was extremely embarrassing as this feature was not prop- erly considered before the Annual Town Meeting. The alternative of either supplying the necessary material costs of projects or refusing the Federal funds which would definitely reduce our welfare and relief costs resulted in a co-operative effort by several departments to fur- nish materials for such projects as were approved. Some of the pro- jects completed were of a permanent nature, the departmental appro- priations being adjusted to meet the emergency conditions with which the Town was confronted. In many instances the use of the Federal funds for maintenance work made available money which could be expended for material costs on constructive projects.
The ability of the department to promptly furnish vital informa- tion of a financial nature is to a large extent the result of efficient and painstaking effort by those connected with this office.
Yours very truly,
EMERSON R. DIZER, Town Accountant
