Report of Finance Committee.
We call the attention of the Town to last year's tax rate of $19.60. This rate would have been $20.40, had not the assessors taken $7,000 from the earnings of the water plant and placed it to the credit of the town's general expenses.
This year no such amount is available. The amount of cash on hand in the treasury at the end of the fiscal year 1904 was $12,000. This year it is $9,000, showing a reduc- tion of available cash in the treasury of $3,000. This amount must be provided for this year and did not appear in last year's tax levy.
The county tax we know will be increased. The state tax is increased. The state is obliged to provide for $400,000 each year for sinking funds ; this amount was not provided last year, consequently this year double the amount, $800,000, will have to be raised by the state, and we must pay our proportionate part ; this means about $2,000 addi- tional state tax, adding twenty-five cents per $1,000 to our tax rate.
The difference of cash in the treasury last year and the present year is $3,000. Increase of our state tax, by virtue of the state control of the insane poor, about $2,400. Amount taken from water receipts last year and appropri- ated to the general fund of the Town's expenses, $7,000, making a total of $12,400 ; this represents $1.50 per $1,000 on our tax rate under our present system.
Although last year the expense of our Poor Department was apparently smaller than in previous years, our propor- tionate part of the state tax for the care of the insane poor should be added to the expense of our Poor Department.
It must be apparent to all that the town (in view of these facts over which the voters have no control) is passing through a very critical financial period. In the past we have viewed with alarm any approach to a $20 tax rate.
382
We have no encouragement from the assessors that there will be any material increase from their department, conse- quently the same condition of resources exists this year as we had last year. Therefore, with increased demands upon the town over last year, we can safely point to the largest tax rate in the history of the Town of Wakefield.
Our internal affairs, over which we have direct control, have increased all out of proportion to the increase of our receipts. Practically all the departments have presented an increase in their fixed charges, which we do not see any way of avoiding, and we do not doubt that the money is actually necessary, and would be expended judiciously and to the advantage of the town.
Our aim has been, in considering these appropriations, to keep the amounts below last year. In view of all the above, heroic measures must be taken by the town first, and by its officials, in carrying out the instructions of the voters of the town.
We know that in this way what seems to be the inevitable trend of the times, increased expenditures, can be somewhat curbed, and this we can accomplish by an enlightened interest on the part of our citizens, by attending the town meetings in the spirit of an aroused public interest and a hearty cooperation on the part of the citizens of Wakefield.
We present the following report and ask for its careful consideration.
Support of schools :
Amount recommended by school committee :
Pay rolls, $42,360 00
Fuel, 4,806 25
Contingent, repairs, water, light, etc., . . 2,500 00
Books and supplies, 2,800 00
Total,
$52,466 25
NOTE .- It is not expected that $2,500 is sufficient for contingents, or that $2,800 is sufficient for supplies. Probably about $1,500 will be received for tuition, etc., which applied to these accounts will make up the deficit.

Auditors' Final Statement.
The Board of Auditors herewith present to the town their report for the fiscal year ending Feb. 1. 1905.
From February 1, 1904, to February 1, 1905, the select- men have drawn 3135 orders on the town treasury, amount- ing to $210,057.56.
We have examined the vouchers for these payments and have also verified the arithmetic of all bills coming before the board of selectmen for payment during the year, and our report upon them will be found arranged in the depart- ments to which they belong.
We have verified the accounts of such departments as pay money to the treasurer ; we have examined the books of the collector of taxes, and of Albert W. Flint, treasurer of the library and reading room, and find them correct. We have also examined the accounts of Mr. Flint as town treas- urer, and find them correct, with the proper vouchers for all payments made by him and that he has a cash balance of $8,553.98 in the Wakefield National bank.
We also certify that he has securities and deposits repre- senting the various trust funds now in his charge.
The unexpended balance of Cemetery Committee, Com- mon and Park, Water and Railroad street land damages, School, Highways and Bridges, Street Sprinkling, Public Library, Town Hall, Richardson Light Guard, Bell at Boyn- tonville, Gypsy and Brown Tail Moths, Markers for Revo- lutionary Graves and $1,598.40 of Sewerage Construction balance are available for next year either on account of contracts pending, or by past votes of the town.
The overdraft on Main street land damages will be re- funded to the town by the county, and the overdraft on
389
Municipal Light Plant will be charged against next year's business.
To avoid either lapsing the January payment or over- drawing Soldiers' Relief, a balance of $100 of Military Aid, and $108.19 available in the Miscellaneous Appropriation was transferred by Selectmen to Soldiers' Relief.
We have examined the accounts of the Municipal Light Plant and Water Department and find them to be correct.
All payments made by this department are paid by orders drawn by the Selectmen and vouchers for same are on file at the Town Hall where they may be seen at any time.
We invite any citizen who desires a closer knowledge of bills and accounts of the town to make application to this board and same will be gladly answered.
In compliance with the vote of the town we have compiled the annual town report and submit the same.
Respectfully submitted,
WILLIAM O. ABBOTT, ARTHUR L. WILEY, CHARLES S. EMERSON,
Auditors.
