Report of Finance Committee.
We present this, our seventh annual report, of the recom- mendations of this department.
We do not care to again reiterate the necessity of economy and high tax rate. The high rate of taxes last year and the small amount of building that has been done to create income from that source, show plainly that with the growing needs of the town the high rate will continue and the need of econ- omy, unwelcome as it may be, is still imperative.
We realize the situation and face the problem as we have heretofore, knowing from past experience that the citizens are alive to it. This is evidenced by the fact of the support received from the loyal, conservative, thinking citizens of the town, and this encourages us to face the problem assured that, as they read this report and realize its import, they will support the committee by ATTENDANCE at the town meet- ings, when these matters presented will be finally settled. This is ALL IMPORTANT.
In reference to the Highway Department when it was pre- sented by the Board of Selectmen, our rights were challenged as to our duties to review the last year's expenditures, claim- ing that the Board of Selectmen were not subject to an ex- amination for what they did with their appropriation for the past year. Under these circumstances it was quite embarrass- ing, and under the conditions it was not deemed wise to waste time in useless argument for something reluctantly furnished. Quite a decided departure from previous years, and entirely different from all other departments who, by their frank statements and good management, were more than willing to co-operate with us for the good of the town. The only ex- cuse we can give for their attitude was the careless way in
310
which they managed that special department entrusted to their care, and their reckless expenditure of the town's money, and the results from observation were very meagre.
WATER DEPARTMENT.
The $1,500 called by the department for cleaning out the cove we do not recommend for the reason a committee has been appointed by the town to consider the whole subject-matter of the purity of the water supply which bears directly upon this particular question, and it is advisable to await the report of that committee before taking action or making any appropri- ation.
THE HYDRANT APPROPRIATION.
We recommend $4,000 for hydrants, stand pipes and drink- ing fountains as a fixed sum regardless of the number now in- stalled ; the reason therefore we think is fair to the plant and the town; last year the appropriation for these items was $4,300. This year with 15 additions, the amount would be $4,725 and would be increasing every year. The first appro- priation for this purpose in 1904 was $3,450, and we feel jus- tified in making this recommendation, as the amount called for this year under the present custom would be $1,275 more than we appropriated the first year, with but slight increase in the cost of maintenance for these fixtures ; also that there is a surplus of funds to the amount of over $4,000.
We also recommend that the compensation for manager, superintendent, overseer or any other title under which he is employed during construction and under maintenance, be no more than $500.
SEWER DEPARTMENT.
We again call attention to the necessity of an extension of the lateral sewer system through the town, as was contem_ plated under the original plans, as no street should have per-
311
manent improvements as regards macadamizing until the sewer has been installed and the abutters connected, as it is a waste of money to do otherwise.
We recommend that the sewer be extended on Albion street, previous to applying to the State Highway Commissions for permanent work.
MUNICIPAL LIGHT PLANT.
The additional amount which we are called upon to appro- priate under the Gas act of 1905, and which your committee do not recommend, is $1,310; add to this $6,100 which we recomended for extensions and renewals, these amounts are 3% of the inflated cost of plant-$247,000, which is required to be appropriated annually for depreciation, seven thousand four hundred and ten dollars ($7,410) of this amount, extensions and renewals, only can be taken. The balance must be used as a sinking fund for these purposes, extensions and renewals and can be used for no other purpose. We refuse to assume this added burden instigated by the gas trust as a death blow to municipal ownership.
