However we can give the figures for the past six years with accuracy down to the penny and in so doing can arrive at an average trend of finances which should be

This looks like a very healthy set of figures. In 1937 total income of the town dropped 14% and from then on it has been steadily rising. Well the drop in 1937 came entirely in the miscellaneous column and in that column for 1936 is the money we borrowed to build the new high school. In fact the increase for 1938 and 1939 is largely found in the miscellaneous column which includes bor- rowing. In fact the only income that we can surely count on is in the first column, namely Town taxes. These held steady from 1936 to 1939 then jumped in 1940 when our tax rate was increased $4.40.
The figures in the second column include our share of corporation and income taxes. Since the federal tax of one year can be figured as an expense in the following years and since federal taxes have increased so enormous- ly it is probable that corporation receipts will decline sharply, while with increased employment and higher wages it is possible the income tax receipts will increase. But in any event we get what the state decides to give us so that source of revenue may be very eratic. Depart- ment receipts include state contributions to highways, re- turns from town parks and receipts from invested funds for care of cemetery lots, among other items. These three departments account for two thirds of the receipts in this column. The state is contributing no more for roads, travel and recreation are on the decline and the return on invested money is declining. This, then is another un- reliable source of income. Grants in the fifth column in- clude refunds to the welfare Department, payments for education such as that of out of town children and Ameri- canization classes, Highway grants, and old age contribu- tions from the state. Most of these receipts are in propor- tion to expenses so that even if the receipts drop the ex- penses will also. But an average of $35.000 or 25% of this column will not be received until the road building pro- gram revives. The fifth column headed Misc. is made up 80% of borrowings which are really not income at all.
By and large then we must look to local taxes to carry the Town. Let us see what that costs.

The first column increases not by the amount borrowed but to show the increased annual payments caused by in- creased borrowings. We are over that hump unless we borrow some more. We should owe nothing about 1950. State and county taxes in the second column have in- creased every year. Operating expenses have increased every year. We must pay our debts and we must pay our taxes and we must operate what we have efficiently. The fixed expenses can not be dodged and if we do not make large capital expenditures for new equipment, school houses, etc., we can probably keep on without bor- rowing because the increase in state and county taxes and operating the town should be offset by the decreasing expense of paying our debts, all provided our income keeps up at the present level, or as in the case of welfare, if our receipts drop no faster than our expenses.
It should be noted however that the amounts left for capital expenditures in 1940 and 1941 are due solely to the fact that our tax rate went to about 32.50 from about 28.50 in 1939. Reduce the tax rate of 1941 by four dollars, or about an eighth, and you reduce receipts from taxes by $95,000.00 and almost wipe out the $120,000.00 we had for replacing worn out equipment.
In short, if income remains about where it is, we can probably get along with the present tax rate, and still pay off our debts. Any large new expenditures must be covered by borrowing or by increasing the tax rate. The voters should remember this when they go to Town Meet- ing.
The Planning Board requests an appropriation of $500 for 1943 divided $400 for expenses and $100 for salaries. It is hoped that more complete tables of data accumulated to date can be published in a form available for the public use.
Respectfully submitted,
ALLEN D. RUSSELL, Chairman.

THIRTY-FIRST ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TOWN ACCOUNTANT
For the Year Ending December 31, 1942
Plymouth, Mass., February 3, 1943
To the Board of Selectmen, Town of Plymouth.
Gentlemen:
I submit herewith report of the financial transactions of the Town of Plymouth, for the year ending December 31, 1942. The several schedules being in the usual forms and in the following order:
Schedule A. Cash Receipts and Cash Payments as re- ported to the Division of Accounts, of the Common- wealth.
Schedule B. Departmental and all special appropriat- ions and such receipts, including Federal Grants, as may be legally expended without specific town meeting appro- priation, with all payments from same classified as to purpose.
Schedule C. Estimated Receipts, other than from local taxes, as used, with the approval of the Tax Commission- er, by the Assessors in making the 1942 tax rate. Schedule also shows the actual cash receipts from the same sources.
Schedule D. Revenue Account for 1942.
Schedule E. Excess and Deficiency Account and list of all unexpended appropriation balances closed into it at the end of the year.
Schedule F. Balance Sheet, January 1, 1943.
-- 4-
Schedule G.
Bonded Indebtedness, January 1, 1943. Schedule H.
Schedule I. List of Trust Funds and Town Invest- ments, not including the January, 1943, dividends.
Schedule J. Calculation of the Town's Borrowing Ca- pacity on January 1, 1943.
There are no overdrafts, except that on the Joint Main- tenance of Highways, which was occasioned by failure of the State and County to reimburse the Town before the books were closed for the year. This money was re- ceived early in January, 1943.
The "Non-Revenue" section of the ledger, which for several years has been really a segregation of outlay ap- propriation accounts and not strictly non-revenue, has been consolidated with the regular ledger, at the sug- gestion of the accountants during the recent State Audit. All unexpended appropriation balances carried over will now appear in one list on the balance sheet. The balance sheet shows the Town to be in excellent financial con- dition, so much so in fact that we have received a letter of congratulation from the Commissioner of Corporations and Taxation.
For the first time in five years it has not been necessary to borrow in December to provide funds for payments coming in January and February. This is the joint result of better tax collections than usual and of the inability to secure delivery of equipment and materials for which appropriations were made in the 1942 town meeting.
Two new trust funds have been received during the last year; the Ellen Stoddard Donnelly Fund, $2,000, in- come to be used for needy families of the town, and the Alice Spooner Fund, $1,500, income to be used for special comforts for the sick, at the Town Infirmary.
These funds have been invested in U. S. Savings Bonds, series G., 21/2%.
Respectfully submitted,
ELMER R. HARLOW, Town Accountant.
