FINANCE COMMITTEE REPORT
Carl B. Bystrom was re-appointed to the Finance Committee. New members were appointed as follows: Arthur Farrar, Mat- thew Mazza and Raymond Smith.
The Finance Committee has received the cooperation of all department heads and personnel. We feel that they have given to West Bridgewater, services of which our town may well be proud. All departments were visited during the year and their equipment and facilities inspected. Budgets of each were thoroughly exam- ined and discussed with department heads.
We recommend the purchase of the following:
1 Highway Truck $8,600.00
1 Police Cruiser 2,500.00
1 Winch for Tree Dept. 1,500.00
The expected tax rate is $85 per thousand. Three factors contributing to this are:
1. School budget increase-$80,146.00
2. Free cash balance too low to allow more than $10,000 to reduce the tax rate.
3. Decrease in estimated receipts-$16,478
As usual our schools are the largest single item in the budget. Percentage of the total budget for the school system for the cur- rent year plus bonds and interest is 63.37%. Total cost per pupil is $427.00. Breakdown of the school budget, percentage-wise, is as follows:
Salaries 80.8%
Expenses 19.2%
$4,389.92 was transferred from the Reserve Fund to cover un- foreseen expenses.
Free cash as certified by Arthur McKinnon, Director of Ac- counts:
January 1, 1963 $42,941.02
235
In accordance with Chapter 70 of the General Laws, the fol- lowing report is submitted:
Total school appropriation recommended by the Finance Committee $526,687.00
Deduct estimated school aid and reimbursement 69,291.48
Estimated amount to be raised by taxation
$457,395.52
The 1963 budget for School Bonds and Interest is $146,772.50
