ACTION ON SPECIAL ARTICLES
ARTICLE : Extension of Sidewalks. Recommended.
This is an annual item to assure that the extension of sidewalks be carried out in an orderly fashion according to the plan of the Surveyor of Highways. Cost to the town, $2,000.00.
ARTICLE 8 : Transfer of $6,000.00 from the Overlay Reserve Fund to the Reserve Fund. Recommended.
89
ARTICLE 9: Transfer of $965.37 from Surplus War Bonus Fund to Ma- turing Debt Account. Recommended.
This is the town's share of the surplus of a Bonus Fund raised to pay servicemen of World War I a bonus. After all bonuses were paid, there remained a surplus which was divided up and returned to the municipali- ties in the proper amounts. Hamilton's share was $965.37. The only way this money can be used is by applying it against the Maturing Debt. Therefore. it is recommended that it be transferred to the Maturing Debt Account so as to clear out a dead account and make the money therein available for the benefit of the town.
ARTICLE 10: Transfer of $1,800.00 from Cemetery Sale of Lots and Graves Fund to the Cemetery Account. Recommended.
This transfer will make possible the use of the money in the Sale of Lots and Graves Fund for the purpose for which it is intended which is the development and improvement of the cemetery.
ARTICLES 11 and 12: New School Construction. Recommended.
The growing population of the town and the antiquity of the Lamson School make the construction of these new school facilities most advisable.
ARTICLE 13: Repairs and Improvements to the High School. Recom- mended.
Article 13 provides for the effecting of certain repairs and improve- ments to the High School. These repairs and improvements are considered necessary by the School Committee and are also carried in Article 11 which is the recommendations of the School Building Committee. If Article 11 is approved by the town this article should be dropped. However. if Arti- cle 11 is defeated, the Finance Committee recommend that this article be approved, and $8.700. be transferred from the Excess and Deficiency Account.
ARTICLES 14. 15, 16: Installation of Additional Pumping Facilities for Water Department and Purchase of Land Therefor. Recommended.
Article 14 requests the town to approve the plan of Charles H. Morse & Son. Engineers, for the installation of new wells and a pumping system on the property of Robert Chittick off School Street at a cost of $18,000 .; and to vote to borrow $15,000. and to transfer $3.150. from the Excess and Deficiency Fund to carry said plan to completion. Because the supply of water in the town is inadequate, and because of the unsatisfactory and expensive arrangement of taking water from Essex in case of emergency, the Finance Committee recommend that approval of this Article be voted. To make this action possible it is also recommended that the necessary land be purchased as provided for in Articles 15 and 16 for $750.00.
90
ARTICLE 11: Acceptance of Road Markers from French Government. Recommended.
This article requests but $50.00. The Finance Committee believe that these markers, which were on the road of Gen. Patton's Third Army in France, will be of considerable interest to all citizens of the town.
ARTICLE 18: Extension of Workmen's Compensation for Town Employees. Recommended.
This will guarantee that all the town's employees will be included in the town's insurance program and that none will be left out because of a technicality.
ARTICLE 19: Honor Roll for those Who Served in World War II. Not Recommended.
This article calls for the expenditure of $3.500. for the procurement and erection of a suitable permanent Honor Roll commemorating the service of those from Hamilton who served in World War II. The Finance Committee believe. in accordance with their ideas expressed in paragraph one of this report. that the erection of a memorial at this time cannot be considered distinctly necessary to the needs of the Town. Furthermore. the Finance Committee feel that this article is out of line, in that the committee which was appointed as a result of the Town Meeting of 1950 were "To consider and recommend a suitable memorial to those who lost their lives in World War II." It is, therefore, suggested that the proposed new gymnasium would be a suitable memorial to those who lost their lives and that the names of those who died should be placed therein in an appro- priate manner upon completion of the building.
ARTICLE 20: Appointment of Committee to Study Desirability of Hamil- ton's Joining a Union Health Department. Recom- mended.
ARTICLE 21: Provides for Increase of Certain Pensions. Recommended.
This is in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth and. while costing the town very little, will (considering the increased cost of living) put pensions on a more equitable basis.
ARTICLE 22: Revision of By-Laws for Presentation to Town Meeting of 1952. Recommended.
ARTICLE 23: Acceptance of Lake Drive Extension. Not Recommended.
The Engineer employed by the town to advise on roads and lay them out has declared that Lake Drive Extension does not meet the specifications laid down by the Town By-Laws, and so should not be accepted.
ARTICLES 24, 25, 26, 27, 27: Improvements of Roads and Streets. Arti- cles 25, 26, 27, 28 Not Recommended. Article 2.4 Recommended.
91
Articles 25, 26. 27, 28 are requests by various citizens of the town for certain roads to be built, or graded, drained and oiled under the direction and supervision of the Surveyor of Highways. The Finance Committee feel in regards to these roads exactly the way they felt last year when they recommended against the building, oiling and grading of any roads re- quested in special articles of the 1950 Warrant. This year the Finance Committee beside recommending that a budget of $23,000. be voted to the Surveyor of Highways to carry out the necessary maintenance and con- struction of roads during 1951, are also recommending that a special article (No. 24) giving the Highway Surveyor an additional $4,500. for the maintenance of gravel roads and their rebuilding be approved. If any road or street has a superior call for attention from the Surveyor of High- ways, the Finance Committee feel that he will give such roads and streets the attention they merit. He has a plan for the maintenance and develop- ment of roads in the town, and he should be allowed to follow this plan without interference by piecemeal vote.
ARTICLES 29. 30, 31. 32, 33: Extension of Water Mains. Article 29 Recommended. Articles 30, 31, 32, 33 Not Recom- mended.
Articles 30, 31, 32, 33 are requests by various citizens of the town to have the water mains extended to their property so that they may take town water. It is the opinion of the Finance Committee that none of these articles should be accepted at this time. While the Committee are of the opinion that eventually all citizens should be entitled to town water (pro- vided it does not place an undue burden on the town for the amount of water taken). at the present time the expenses of the town are so high and the tax rate is rising so rapidly the Committee feel that these expensive capital improvements which in total amount to over $43.000. should not be made at one time. Rather. the Finance Committee believe that all de- velopments of the town should proceed in an orderly manner, and to this end are recommending that Article 29, which appropriates $5.000. for the Water Board for the extension of mains, be approved. It is desirable that a similar appropriation be made each year: so that the extension of the mains may be carried out in accordance with the master plan in the pos- session of the Chairman of the Water Board. and thus water will eventually be made available to all citizens of the town.
Referendum on Tenure for Highway Surveyor.
On the ballot to be voted upon by the town on March 13th there shall be the question, "Shall an act passed by the General Court in the year nineteen hundred and fifty. one entitled 'An Act Relative to the Tenure of Office of the Present Highway Surveyor of the Town of Hamilton' be accepted."
It is the opinion of the Finance Committee that the Town should vote against accepting this act. The Finance Committee have a very high regard for the character and competence of Leland Thompson. neverthe- less. they recommend voting in the negative because they believe that it is very bad governmental practice for a town to vote special benefits,
92
whether it be that of tenure or otherwise, to any individual. The Finance Committee can see but one benefit accruing to the town by the acceptance of this act by the voters. The benefit, which is but possible and immediate, is that the Surveyor of Highways will be able to carry out his duties with- out concern for the political effects of his actions. The main benefit will be to the Surveyor of Highways. In this country in particular no con- stituent body should relinquish its rights to elect its officials and public servants, unless a clear and valued long-term benefit to the constituency will be the result.
Respectfully submitted,
FREDERIC WINTHROP, Chairman JOHN E. LAWRENCE DONALD W. GATES HAROLD A. DALEY LAWRENCE LAMSON

REPORT OF TOWN ACCOUNTANT
To the Citizens of Hamilton :
In accordance with the provisions of Chapter 41, of the General Laws, I herewith submit my report for the year ending December 31, 1950, show- ing the amount and source of all receipts, the amount of appropriations and expenditures therefrom, the purpose for which money was spent, town in- debtedness and condition of trust funds.
Although the law provides that such statement shall be in accordance with classification prescribed by the director of accounts, I have further extended the classification of expenditures to make such information readily available to those who desire it. Any additional information will be gladly given to all residents of the town upon calling at the office.
I extend my sincere appreciation to the town officials and the citizens of Hamilton for their assistance and cooperation during the past year.
Respectfully submitted,
FRANCIS H. WHIPPLE,
Town Accountant.
