ARTICLE 21: Placing of the Question of Public Works Department on the 1956 ballot. Recommended.
At this time the Finance Committee do not recommend either the adoption or the rejection of a Public Works Department. However, they do recommend that this question be placed on the Ballot in 1956. This will allow the Town one more year to consider the advantages and disad- vantages of having a Public Works Department, and, further, it will give all voters of the Town a chance to express their wishes in accordance with the State Law on this important matter.

ARTICLE 22: Publication of Property Valuation and Tax List. Cost to the Town, $2,000.00. Not Recommended.
At the Annual Town Meeting in 1947, the town voted to publish a book including the Valuation List and Poll, Personal Property and Real Estate Taxes of the Town of Hamilton for that year and then in 1950 and subsequently every five years thereafter. These books were published in 1947 and in 1950. It is the opinion of the Finance Committee that money spent for this publication is wasted. As far as they can learn, these lists are seldom used and when used are unnecessary, even if convenient, because all the information contained in these books is available at the Town Hall to any interested citizens.
Respectfully submitted,
FREDERIC WINTHROP, Chairman WILLIAM M. FOLEY JOHN C. GARLAND LAWRENCE E. PELKEY ROBERT H. CHITTICK. III

REPORT OF TOWN ACCOUNTANT
To the Citizens of Hamilton:
In accordance with the provisions of Chapter 41, of the General Laws, I submit herewith my report for the year ending December 31, 1954, show- ing the amount and source of all receipts, the amount of appropriations and expenditures therefrom, purposes of expenditures, town indebtedness, condition of trust funds and a balance sheet.
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 by calling at the office.
I extend my sincere appreciation to all for any assistance rendered me during the past year.
Respectfully submitted,
FRANCIS H. WHIPPLE,
Town Accountant.
