Note: In 1941, the Board of Public Works requested and were granted an additional appropriation under "Per- sonal Services" for the purpose of adding to their clerical force a Record and Statistical Clerk. Such a clerk was not hired; thus a surplus was available in the "Personal Serv- ices" account. From this surplus, the Board granted raises to two clerks whose work falls under this General Admin- istration Account (No. 10), and also to a third clerk whose regular salary is charged to Water Maintenance (No. 42). While this procedure is entirely legal your committee feel that funds which are not used for the purpose for which they are requested or designated should be returned to the Town Treasury; most especially is this true with regard to obligating the Town for the future, as is done by granting an increase to Civil Service employees, without specific vote of the Town.
