TOWN OF WAKEFIELD
Fortieth Annual Report of the Town Accountant
FOR THE YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 1954
The total cash expenditures processed in the town accountant's office amounted to $5,699,895.86 of which amount $210,473.02 was with- held and expended from employees wages for Federal Income Taxes, Blue Cross and Teachers' Retirement and $335,666.47 was for Maturing Debt and Interest for the year ending December 31, 1954.
The net cost of town services for the year 1954 was $5,153,756.37 which is offset by amount of borrowing in anticipation of revenue and reimbursement, state grants and refunds.
Maturing Debt and Interest payments continue as an important segment of our annual cost, these payments were $113,030.58 more in 1954 than in the year 1953 and point up the necessity for continuous capital outlay planning.
