REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE FINANCE AND ADVISORY COMMITTEE
The Finance and Advisory Board has reviewed in detail the proposed operating expenses of all Town Departments and herewith submits its rec- ommendations for the 1959 budget. Naturally, we make every effort to curtail any expenses which, in our opinion are either unnecessary or non- essential to the Town; yet we must recognize the fact that the population has increased substantially over the past few years with the accompanying need of expanded services, additional equipment, and manpower.
The over-all valuation of the Town has been leveling off recently whereas expenses have mounted on a sharp upward trend due largely to increased educational requirements and heavier debt retirement schedules and interest charges. Unfortunately the end to this rising trend is not immediately in sight. On the other hand, we all should endeavor to main- tain the stability and character of the Town and to acknowledge our re- sponsibility in providing good government and sound fiscal policy as well as giving full consideration to the future progress of the Town.
The budget for 1959, as recommended by the Finance Committee, shows an increase of approximately $107,000 over the 1958 budget. The total budget for the present year amounts to $821,000, as compared to $714,000 last year, and the increase is due to the following :
1. Education
1958 $333,000
1959 $384,000
Increase $51,000
2. Debt Retirement and Interest

Total Increase $107,000
1. The increase in Education of $51,000, as compared to an increase of $44,000 last year, involves entirely the Expense of Instruction and results. of course, from additional staff members for the new school and the general pattern of salary increases in accordance with the program adopted pre- viously. The expense of Instruction represents over 70% of the total school budget and the school budget in turn accounts for 47% of the total budget.
2. The $32,000 increase in Debt Retirement and Interest is related entirely to the interest and amortization of the bond issue financing the new school. It should be noted that Education and Debt Retirement and Interest account for 78% of the proposed budget increase of $107,000.
88
3. General Government shows an increase of $4,000 arising largely from additional clerical assistance and further expenses and repairs to the Town Hall.
4. The increase of $4,000 for Protection includes the expense of an- other regular police officer to provide the Town with adequate police pro- tection. This new system should be more effective and should also serve the Town for the next several years without further additions to the regu- lar staff being necessary.
5. Recreation is increased $4,000 and this is related mostly to essen- tial equipment for Park purposes and resurfacing the tennis courts.
6. The remaining $12,000 increase in the budget stems from other departments in small and varying amounts and includes such items as in- creases in cost of insurance, in snow removal appropriation, and in exten- sion of Library hours to the public.

ACTION ON SPECIAL ARTICLES 1959 WARRANT
ARTICLE 5: Chapter 90 Highway Construction. Cost to the Town $2,000. Recommended.
This amount together with funds contributed by the State and County will complete the repairs to School Street and start repair work on Bridge Street.
ARTICLE £ 6: Chapter 90 Maintenance. Cost to the Town $1,000. Recommended.
ARTICLE 7: Cost of approximately $90,000 for constructing, equipping and furnishing a new Library. Not recommended.

ture of the proposed amount for this purpose. Our bonded indebtedness at the end of last year was in excess of $1,200,000. plus, of course, interest charges, and we are faced with a substantial bond issue in the near future to finance the new High School. Under the circumstances, the Committee feels the Town should defer consideration of additional indebtedness of the proposed amount until some later date.
ARTICLE 8: Cost of new Cruiser-Ambulance $2,000. Recommended.
The present vehicle is completing two years of service, has traveled nearly 70,000 miles, and in order to avoid expensive repairs in the future, should be replaced.
ARTICLE 9: Cost of new truck cab and chassis $3,000. Recommended.
The purpose of this is to replace the damaged vehicle used by the Health Department, primarily for garbage collections.
ARTICLE 10: Cost of acquiring and installing two-way radio communi- cation equipment $2,000. Recommended.
This is urgently needed for communication facilities among Town De- partments and has been adopted recently by other Towns and Cities in this area.
ARTICLE 11: Rental cost of new dump $500 annually. Recommended. ARTICLE 14: Cost of mosquito spraying $2,500. Not Recommended.
There seems to be some question as to the merits of and the benefits derived from this expenditure and several citizens have complained about the spraying in the past.
ARTICLE 16: Transfer of $4,000 from Overlay Reserve Account to Fi- nance Committee Reserve Fund. Recommended.
This amount was unexpended last year by the Finance Committee and therefore was returned to the Overlay Reserve Account. The Transfer mere- ly turns back the money to the Reserve Fund.
ARTICLE 17: Use of Free Cash in determining tax rate. Recommended.
This article permits the Assessors to draw on the Excess and Deficiency Fund to the extent of $30,000 to lower the 1959 tax rate.
ARTICLES 18-19-20 : Acceptance of certain streets. Recommended- provided these streets comply with the by-laws in detail and are acceptable to the Selectmen and Planning Board.
ARTICLES 22-23-24 : Changes in Protective By-Law. Recommended. Respectfully submitted, JOHN C. GARLAND, Chairman CLARK S. SEARS CHARLES E. GRANT THOMAS G. STEVENSON HAROLD D. MOSES

REPORT OF THE 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, 1958, showing the amount and source of all receipts, the amount of appro- priations 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 read- ily 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.
