ANNUAL TOWN MEETING March 22, 1952
Including Recommendations by the Advisory and Finance Committee
Your Town is a business organization; the voters of the Town are the managers of that business. As managers of the Town business the voters must recognize and meet the most serious management problems of any business which employs a large group of employees-namely, enlistment of the responsible interest of the Town Boards and Town em- ployees in achieving a balance between a fair and decent wage or salary and the ability of the taxpayer to meet Town expenditures. As managers of the Town the voters have believed, and undoubtedly always will believe in a high standard of wages and living conditions for its employees. Your Finance Committee seeks actively and continuously to make Town employment desirable and attractive to Town employees who are interested in rendering high quality public service to the Town's citizens and visitors alike. However, even in prosperous years, and nationally 1951 and 1952 are considered to be such, this is a difficult ideal to live up to because both the operating costs and the task of meeting such costs have increased tremendously. Ability to pay is not unlimited, nor is the prospect of continued prosperity guar- anteed. Industrially the Town approaches a very trying, unpredictable period. The woolen mills face shut-downs and serious unemployment. Much other employment and business prosperity of the people of the Town is dependent upon con- tinued military spending, a situation both unpredictable and unhealthy. It is impossible to disregard, and we should not fail to heed, the fact that if Town expenditures are excessive, tax costs, together with other costs, discourage business from locating here, and continued high tax costs may discourage summer visitors from locating and building here.
Each increase of the tax rate of $1 costs Plymouth's largest industry $2,820.00. But the increased cost to that employer, or any other employer, does not stop there. Wage earners and salaried people alike who see their own tax bill increase feel that their standard of living has fallen, which it has, and look to their employer to maintain their standard
-9-
of living. It is not long before an increased tax rate reflects itself in substantially increased hidden, indirect costs to industry.
Clear thinking forbids the conclusion that the size of the assessment upon the property of any employer is the full test of the real estate tax burden upon his business. The overall community burden from taxes ultimately, to a substantial degree, rests upon industry. An industry that can pass the increased cost on to the consumer need have no concern over such increase in costs. But today in Plymouth what industry is competitively situated so that it can pass on to the con- sumer its additional and increased costs?
Business is not alone in feeling the pinch of increased costs and absorbing the impact of high taxes. Each Town employee is faced with his own economic dilemma. His costs have increased and his savings and life insurance have de- creased in value through inflationary trends. The cost of maintaining his home, feeding, clothing and educating his family, have severely strained his pocketbook. His plight must not be disregarded, nor should the Town exploit the fact that the Town employee has steady fifty-two week employ- ment assured in times of prosperity and depression alike.
Deserving also of consideration is the unheralded and much abused taxpayer. There seems to be a general mis- conception that only property owners are taxpayers. Let no one fool himself with such an illusion. Admittedly, some few receive more from taxes than they pay in taxes, but what these few receive would be worth more, and return to them substantially more in goods and services, but for high taxes. The great majority pay many times more in taxes than they realize. A recent study indicates that those with an income of less than $1,000 pay on an average of twenty-three cents of every dollar of their income in total taxes. This increases rapidly so that the man earning $3500 pays thirty cents of every dollar in total taxes. None of us wants to see this tax burden increasing and if it is to increase further the voters are entitled to know, and should make it their business to know, the reason for the increase and just what the Town will receive in return for the tax money that is expended.
Following the practice of past years, we present herewith a summary of departmental expenditures for 1951, as itemized in Schedule B of the Town Accountant's report included in the Town Report:
