Report of Committee to Compile Trust Fund Data read.
Report follows:
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
This committee was appointed in September 1958 by the Board of Selectmen for the purpose of compiling data on trust funds held by the Town of Acton, to arrange to have complete information relative to these funds available at one source for inspection by any person in the town, to provide for the safeguarding of the records of the various trusts, and to make recommendations for prudent investments in accordance with the provisions of the various trusts and the regulations of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
There are 24 trust accounts now established with numerous trusts within each account which have strict provisions for administration.
It is the opinion of this committee that some effort should be made to establish a minimum limit for new trust accounts. We have found that in reviewing these funds that the income received from some accounts does not cover the expense of administration. However, small amounts could continue to be received in the general trust accounts now established.
This is in the form of a report of progress of the committee, the work will be continued, and it is not anticipated that the committee will incur any expense to the Town.
The committee wishes to thank all of the town officials we have contacted from whom we have received full cooperation particularly Mr. Frederick Kennedy who has a vast knowledge of these funds.
Respectfully submitted,
HAROLD F. NORDBERG DAVID L. MAY HARRISON D. FOOTE
