RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE FINANCE AND ADVISORY COMMITTEE
To the Citizens of the Town of Hamilton:
Your Finance and Advisory Committee makes its fourth report during the present war. We have given careful consideration to each budget as sub- mitted to us by the respective departments. We believe we have arrived at fair and justifiable recommendations consistent with the need and prevailing conditions as represented to us by the elected officers during our several dis- cussions.
With our nation still at war, we had hoped that the total budget would be near the same level as 1944 in order that our Revenue Surplus (Commonly referred to as the excess and deficiency account ) would be used very sparingly. The maintenance of a sizable backlog in this account might well prevent the necessity for a large tax rate increase in the period of readjustment after the war.
However, when we totaled the budgets as originally submitted, we found the amount so large that a substantial tax rate increase would occur unless many of the departments would be willing to make substantial deductions. We found them most cooperative and the net result leaves, with very few ex- ceptions, the appropriations at approximately the same level as 1944. The exceptions are principally because of the continued extraordinary conditions brought about by the war. This effect is felt especially in the School De- partment where costs of Text books and supplies have continued to increase. Salaries of Teachers also have been increased in accordance with the accepted schedule in effect with that department. In the School Specials will be found some increases, certain of which are maintainance and repair items which should not be postponed. There is also an increase in the cost of snow re- moval as compared to our recommended appropriation at Town Meeting last year
We have approved a basic salary increase for one department head, the Superintendent of Highways. We feel that the sincere efforts on the part of this official to keep our streets in good condition at a minimum of cost in spite of the difficulty of obtaining materials warrants this adjustment.
We have carefully reviewed the item of the temporary increase in salaries as recommended in 1944 and have approved the continuance of this plan for the ensuing year on the same basis as adopted in Town Meeting of March 6, 1944. The cost this year will be for a full twelve months period, whereas last year it did not become effective until Town Meeting.
In view of the above and because of the sincere desire to retain, if possi- ble, our present tax rate, we are recommending the use of available funds to apply to Articles Nos. 8-9-10-12 and 14, subject to the approval of the Commis- sioner of Corporations and Taxation.
We also approve of Articles 5-6-7-11 and 13, which involve specific appro- priations.
54
We believe that if our recommendations are adhered to and the cost of snow removal does not prove to be greatly in excess of our recommended ap- propriation, the tax payers of Hamilton may for another year enjoy the pres- ent favorable tax rate.

REPORT OF TOWN ACCOUNTANT
To the Board of Selectmen :
In accordance with the provisions of Section 61 of Chapter 41 of the Gen- eral Laws, I herewith submit my annual report for the year ending December 31, 1944, arranged in accordance with the classifications prescribed by the director of accounts.
In the performance of the duties of Town Accountant I have been ever mindful of the absence of my predecessor, George Gibney Haraden, an amiable and exemplary public official who left us in the midst of his youth and use- fulness. The memory of his kindliness and many helpful deeds will remain with all who knew him.
The assistance rendered by you, the Board of Selectmen, all town officials and Mr. Laurence Crosby of the State Division of Accounts has been most generous and helpful, and of which I am most appreciative.
Respectfully submitted,
FRANCIS H. WHIPPLE
Town Accountant.
