-25- REPORT OF
Advisory and Finance Committee on the ARTICLES IN THE TOWN WARRANT March 22, 1947
NOTICE
Please retain this report for use at any Adjourned Town Meeting
Your Committee presents herewith its report and recom- mendations on the Articles in the Warrant for the Annual Town Meeting:
The various town departments have presented budget figures this year greater than at any time in the history of the town.
A total of $1,334,155.19 (Article 7) has been asked to run the town departments. This is $228,831.14 more than was recommended by last year's Finance Committee for the same purpose. This sum does not include the many special requests, totalling an additional. $358,393.05, which appears under separate articles.
The additional money being asked for by the various town departments may perhaps be justified on the grounds that they give more or better services. But can the people of the town afford these payment increases?
We point out that, contrary to some popular thought, there is a practical limitation to the amount of taxes that property owners can pay. In town affairs, as in our individual lives, there are many things that we may want, there are many things that we must have and there are many things that may be desirable. Some of these things we can afford and we get them, but the rest must be postponed until we can afford them.
A high tax rate is not only a hardship on the owners of property but directly affects rents. High taxes affect the cost of all things bought in local stores. High taxes discourages new business and the building of new taxable property. High taxes will prove a hardship upon those in need of housing.
For these reasons, your committee has recommended a substantial reduction of the amounts asked for by the town departments under Article 7, and adds further that if the sums requested by certain Town Departments continue to increase
-26-
at the present trend, it is the opinion of this committee that serious consideration should be given by the Town toward making a detailed and minute examination of these depart- ments to see if these appropriations are warranted.
The total amount requested under the special articles is $358,393.05. Of this, $25,000 (Article 57) is merely a transfer of money from one account to another. Your committee has recommended, under these special articles, the appropriation of $181,817.88. $79,716.76 of this would come from the 1947 tax levy. The balance will come from funds not affecting the tax rate.
The Surplus or Reserve Fund is $352,591.13 and the Post War Rehabilitation Fund is $57,500.00. This is a substantial amount but it must be remembered that this fund has been built up during the war years when all town services were curbed and materials were not available for purchase. In all probability, this fund, will, during the next few years, decrease in amount.
.Your Committee therefore, has recommended that the sum of $90,325.00, plus the $25,000, which is the transfer to a Stabilization Fund, be taken from the surplus account. We point out that transfers from this account must be approved by the Tax Commissioner of this Commonwealth. Your committee recommends no expenditure from the Post War Rehabilitation fund.
The above recommendations are the result of many weeks of deliberation and conferences with the department heads and Town Accountant, and represent what the committee believes is for the best interest of the Town.
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 the following elected town officers be:
