128
to the Constitution, to impose a tax on incomes at rates which are proportioned or graduated according to the amount of income received, irrespective of the source from which it may be derived, and to grant reasonable exemptions, deductions and abatements. It further pro- vides that any property the income of which is taxed under the pro- visions of the proposed Article may be exempted from the imposition and levying of proportional and reasonable assessments, rates and taxes as at present authorized by the Constitution, and that the Article shall not be construed to limit the power of the General Court to impose and levy reasonable duties and excises.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TOWN CLERK
January 14, 1963
Honorable Board of Selectmen Weymouth, Massachusetts
Attention: Mr. Franklin Fryer, Chairman
Gentlemen:
Submitted herewith is the Annual Report of the Town Clerk for the year ending December 31, 1962.
The refund from the Norfolk County Treasurer for dog licenses amounted to $4,083.69, which again will be used for schools. There has been an increase in the revenue from fees and licenses of about $971.95
With a look to the future, for safety and preservation, a committee has been appointed to make a study for the purpose of microfilming vital statistics and other records.
Duties and responsibilities have been carried out smoothly and efficiently by the staff in the office.
I should like to extend my thanks to your Board and all depart- ments for the courtesies and co-operation given to me during the year.
Respectfully submitted,
HARRY CHRISTENSEN, Town Clerk
