REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE FINANCE AND ADVISORY COMMITTEE
In the following budget for the Town of Hamilton for 1952, the Finance Committee have attempted to keep the cost of all governmental activities at a minimum consistent with essential services.
It will be noted that the school department has a considerably larger budget than that of last year. This is caused mainly by an increase of $13,000 in the amount allocated to teachers' salaries. The Finance Com- mittee, after consultation with the School Committee and comparing teachers' salaries in similar towns, have decided to recommend this increase. If the Town of Hamilton is to provide good education for its children, it must have good teachers. To have good teachers it must be able to pay teachers enough so that it can compete with other towns in securing their services. It is hoped that the present increase will serve this purpose. Money to hire three new teachers is also included.
The School Building program will cost the town $6,000 in interest this year, or less than $1.00 on the tax rate. Next year, there will be two interest payments and a $41,000 repayment of principal. This will amount to $53,000 or $7.80 on the tax rate, assuming that the assessed valuation of the Town stands at the present figure of approximately $6,750.00.
There are reimbursements from the State for current school purposes, which reduces the amount to be raised from local taxation. This is arrived at as follows :
1. Total appropriation for support of schools, recommended by the Finance Committee
$123,407.57
2. Estimate of School Aid & Reimbursement $22,000.00
3. Estimate of other non tax receipts 3,500.00
Total 25,500.00
4. Amount to be raised by local taxation 98,000.00
It should be remembered that State aid is not free. It is created by the money taken in taxes directly or indirectly from the people of Hamil- ton, as well as from the people of other communities.

ACTION ON SPECIAL ARTICLES
ARTICLE 5: To Raise and Appropriate $1,000 for Chapter 90-Mainten- ance of Highways. Recommended
ARTICLE 6 : To Raise and Appropriate $2,500 for Chapter 90-Construc- tion on Essex Street. Recommended
ARTICLE 9: Rearrangement of the Town Hall. Recommended
The present office space of the town clerk is unsatisfactory, being poor- ly placed and inadequate. The vault, in particular, has become far too small. The town is growing rapidly and more and more business can reasonably be expected to develop at the Town Hall. The Finance Com- mittee believe that it is desirable to carry out this plan so that the govern- ment of the town will in the future be better able to serve the citizens of the town. $8,000.00
ARTICLE 10: Purchase of Cruiser Ambulance. Recommended
The present Police Cruiser is nearly worn out and needs to be re- placed. The Finance Committee believe that a cruiser ambulance is an essential piece of equipment for the Police Department. $1,500.00
ARTICLE 11: Fluoridation of the Town Water Supply. Recommended
The adding of Fluorine to Public Water Supplies has been under observation and test for over five years. The study of the relationship of Fluorine in drinking water to dental health has been carried on for over 15 years. The optimum content of Fluorine in the water is from 1.0 to 1.5 parts per million. The Fluorine contents of Hamilton water is .08 parts per million. Experience has shown that if the Town of Hamilton raises the Fluorine content of its water from .08 parts per million to a little over 1.0 parts per million, it can confidently look forward to over 60% fewer dental cares in its children as yet unborn, and a 30% decrease for those presently under six years old.
There is no evidence that the 1.0 parts per million of the Fluoride naturally occurring in water is different in effect from the same concentra- tion derived by dissolving a Fluoride compound in the water. Nor is there evidence that harmful effects will result from Fluoridation when the recom- mended Fluoride concentrations are maintained.
Standardized procedures for adding Fluorine have been developed through experience in a considerable number of towns and cities. As a result, Fluoridation can be undertaken safely by a community of any size which has a public water system.
The installation of the necessary equipment will cost $1,100. The cost per person per year thereafter should be ten cents.
ARTICLE 12: Repair, Grade, and Surface Forest Street. Not Recom- mended
The Finance Committee feel that the public will best be served by (1) electing the man best qualified to be the Surveyor of Highways and (2) by voting for his use the adequate budget recommended by the Finance
94
Committee. This budget for work on the roads in 1952 amounts to $24,188.00. Included in this is $4,500 for the care of gravel roads. The Finance Committee believe that the Highway Surveyor should not be re- stricted in his use of this fund or in deciding which roads should be re- paired.
ARTICLE 13: Provides for the Increase of Certain Pensions. Recom- mended
This is in accordance with the law of the Commonwealth. Non- acceptance by the Town of Hamilton will deny the increase to any pen- sioners in the Town of Hamilton. while the Town of Hamilton will still have to pay its share of the increase to the County Retirement system.
ARTICLE 14: Relocation of Forest Street. Recommended
This will reduce the abruptness of the existing curve and will not cost the town anything.
ARTICLE 15: Acceptance of Crescent Road as a Public Way. Recom- mended
At present this road does not comply with the By Laws. The vote of acceptance should take effect only when the requirements of the By Laws have been met.
ARTICLE 16 : Removal of Temporary Honor Roll. Recommended
ARTICLE 18: Transferring, Care and Maintenance of School Grounds from the School Department to the Park Department. Recommended
The Park Department has the equipment and the knowledge to care for outside grounds. Therefore, the Finance Committee believe that they will be able to do a better job more economically than can the janitor at the schools.
ARTICLE 20: Acceptance of a New Code of By-Laws and Repeal of the Existing By-Laws of the Town. Recommended
