On the 4th day of March the Finance Committee met with the Selectmen, at which time it was voted in accordance with Section 13-Chapter 44 of the General Laws to appro- priate ten thousand dollars ($10,000.00) for the removal of ice and snow. Said amount was taken from Surplus Funds.


Several Special Town Meetings were attempted but with- out a quorum they were eventually indefinitely postponed. A Special Town Meeting was held on the 20th of November at which time the necessary quorum of registered voters transferred from Surplus Funds the sum of two thousand dollars ($2,000.00) to Veterans' Benefits and the sum of six thousand dollars ($6,000.00) from Surplus Funds in order that the Water Commissioner could have a survey for additional wells and necessary tests made.


On the 10th day of November the Finance Committee authorized the Town Accountant to transfer from the Police Department (Salaries) the sum of one thousand dollars ($1,000) to the Police Department (Operating Expenses).


I would like to take this opportunity to express my ap- preciation to the members of the Finance Committee for their faithful attendance and for the work they have done in meeting the problems of the various departments that we have been confronted with the past year.


Respectfully submitted,


MARSHALL SIEBENMANN, Chm.
