REPORT OF
ADVISORY AND FINANCE COMMITTEE
on the
ARTICLES IN THE TOWN WARRANT
MARCH 27, 1943
Printed by the MEMORIAL PRESS. Plymouth, Mass.
NOTICE :- Please retain this Report for use at any Adjourned Town Meeting.
REPORT OF Advisory and Finance Committee ON THE ARTICLES IN THE TOWN WARRANT MARCH 27, 1943
The Advisory and Finance Committee acted as a full body this year with the exception of two who are doing war work and were therefore unable to attend.
Our first duty was to act on the request for a 10% in- crease in salaries and a set 75¢ per hour for labor. Due to the greatly increased cost of living and the loss of employees to war work, we should try to keep the present town em- ployees, if possible. We therefore figured the budget on this increased basis.
We carefully checked the expenditures of all depart- ments and cut the amounts asked for by only that amount where the department could still give full service for the Town.
Under Article 14. Appropriation for the employment of District Nurses. We felt that in order to keep the present nurses they should be entitled to an increase in pay, as they are classed as regular town employees, and we have asked that the Town appropriate $2,500. instead of $2,000.
Under Article 13. Shellfish Protection. 'As no one is now employed in this department and no seed clams are available we recommended no appropriation.
Under Article 19. Purchase of War Bonds from Excess and Deficiency Funds. We feel that $20,000., which is about ten per cent of these funds, should be invested in War Bonds. In our opinion it is not the function of the Town to tax the property owners for this purpose. Appropriated funds that cannot now be used until materials are available after the War should be used for this purpose.
Under Article 34. Use of unappropriated funds in the Town Treasury to reduce the Tax Levy. As the tax rate can be reduced without using these funds they should be kept as a reserve for the unforeseen things that may lie ahead.
Under Article 36. To cancel the lease now held by the Millar Coal Company and others. We feel that it would be in the best interest of the town to control this property as it is not now being used as a coal pier. The town would
- 4 -
derive much more benefit, directly and indirectly, by main- taining the pier for fishing and docking of boats. It is possible that many of the townspeople would be employed in this manner in the next few years.
We hope that this year all Department Heads will keep in mind that no unnecessary work or buying for future needs will be done. The Federal Government has asked us to curtail and we should. Today we should act on a day- to-day basis. When normal times return we can again look into the future and anticipate those needs.
Article 5. To see what action the Town will take with regard to fixing the salaries of elected town officers.
Recommended that the salaries of elected town officers be fixed as follows:
Chairman of Selectmen $726.00
Other Selectmen (each) 363.00
Chairman of Assessors 2,371.60
Other Assessors (each) 1,936.00
