REPORT OF ADVISORY AND FINANCE COMMITTEE FOR 1961
Your Advisory and Finance Committee has again this year undertaken its Town-given responsibilities, with the sincere hope that its recommendations will result in better- ment of our Town, consistent with the desires of the entire townspeople.
At the outset, it should be understood by all, that this Committee speaks and recommends as a Committee - not as an individual. The pros and cons which shall be heard at Town Meeting are not new to us - we have indeed in many midnight sessions argued the problem - voting as a body only when all known sides have been heard. Our recommen- dations to the Town are stressed as being collective, rather than individualistic.
Of prime concern to the majority is the subject of re- muneration for Town employees. Fortunately, the Town saw fit, in 1950, to accept the establishment of a Personnel Board. Unfortunately, this Personnel Board was not given the mis- sion to include all the Town's employees, elected and other- wise. Likewise, the Personnel Board was not given authority pertaining to establishment of policies providing fair and equal treatment for all Town employees in all departments. A continuing study is being made, resulting, we hope, in fu- ture recommendations for your consideration, which shall equalize vacations, overtime, sick-pay, and related matters, on an equal basis for all.
The problems in Plymouth are unique, in that we have a land mass of great extent, harboring a fluid population based in numbers principally in direct proportion to the length of
-379-
the summer season. We must provide all the normal protec- tions, plus attend to the highway and road requirements of these transient taxpayers as indeed we do to our permanent population. Unfortunately, we have not, to date, been able to entice new industries to build within our confines, and therefore are faced with ever-increasing expenditures, re- sulting in higher taxation which must be assessed primarily to a static population. We should, therefore, recognize imme- diately that which is beneficial to all (or to the majority), and likewise postpone that which is important only to the few (or to the minority). Our recommendations are based on col- lective study and do pertain, to the best of our knowledge, to those problems applicable to the majority.
In long range planning, we recognize the importance of the Planning Board, the Industrial Commission, the Urban Redevelopment Authority, and other appointed committees. We would suggest that, as early as possible, a member of the Finance and Advisory Committee be either appointed to sit as a member or as an interested party, for the sole purpose of providing liaison on those plans involving future expendi- tures.
This Committee is greatly interested in maintaining the mutual respect presently enjoyed between its body and that of the Town's many departments. To increase this respect, and to increase the Town's efficiency, we offer our services at any time of the year - bearing in mind that we enter into any conference solely with the Town's interest at heart.
We wish to publicly thank all of the elected officials, the Town's department heads, and, indeed, all of the Town's citi-
-380-
zens, in recognizing that we, as a body, have again this year come before you with the following recommendations, based solely on our studies and collective reasoning.

State and County Assessments (net) 231,358.52
Overlay Deficit - 1957
609.31
Overlay Deficit - 1959 465.76
Overlay for 1961 - (estimate)
85,000.00
Total Recommended Expenditures
$3,855,936.17
Estimated Receipts $1,142,476.00
Excess and Deficiency (Articles 17, 92) 144,000.00
Parking Meter Receipts (Article 7)
7,175.00
Parking Lot Receipts (Main St. Ext.) (Article 7) 6,000.00
Sale of Cemetery Lots and Graves
Fund (Article 28) 1,000.00
Waterfront Protection (Article 64)
20,000.00
Total from sources other than Tax Levy $1,320,651.00
Net to be raised 1961 Poll Tax (Estimate)
$2,535,285.17
9,000.00
Balance from Real and Personal $2,526,285.17
Based on the 1960 valuation of $38,935,875, this total will require a tax rate of approximately $64.60. An increase of $1,000,000 in the valuation would reduce the tax rate by ap- proximately $1.60, while a decrease of $1,000,000 in valuation would increase the rate by approximately $1.70.
Each $39,000 added to or subtracted from the net total above would increase or decrease the tax rate approximately $1.00.
