The following lists the major increases of the 1960 budget over 1959 :
1. Education
1959 $384,000
1960 $433,000
Increases $49,000
2. Highways
66,000
74,000

3. Health and Sanitation

30,000

4. Protection

48,000
4,000
5. General Government
40,000
43,000
3,000
$70,000
In addition, there appears for the first time in the budget the Ham- ilton-Wenham Regional School District for the amount of nearly $7,000, and the balance is spread among Unclassified, representing largely in- creased insurance charges, Pensions, Water Department, Libraries, and others to a lesser degree.
1. Of the $49,000 increase in Education, the Expense of Instruction accounts for almost $35,000, resulting from a full year of operation of the Winthrop School and salary adjustments. Also, there is an increase of $10,000 in Operation of Plant, plus $4,000 in Auxiliary Agencies covering transportation, as well as $2,000 increase in Textbooks and Sup- plies. General Control Expense shows a reduction of some $2,900. Alto- gether, Education, including the Regional School, represents 70% of the $80,000 increase in the budget.
2. Ilighways are faced with additional manpower requirements and higher maintenance costs. Furthermore, the purchase of a basin cleaner in the amount of $3,400 is recommended, as this is necessary equipment which has been borrowed from one of the neighboring towns on occasion.
93
3. The increase in Health and Sanitation stems from heavier labor requirements, particularly in the case of Garbage and Refuse Disposal, which will mean an improvement in services rendered.
4, 5, 6. Salary adjustments deemed expedient by the Finance Com- mittee account generally for the increases in these categories, although some additional expenses are needed in General Government; such as, replacement of equipment in the Town offices and more repairs for the Town Hall.

ACTION ON SPECIAL ARTICLES 1960 WARRANT
ARTICLE 5: Chapter 90 Highway Construction. Cost to the Town $3,500. Recommended.
This amount plus funds contributed by the State and County will be used for further repair work on Bridge Street.
ARTICLE 6: Chapter 90 Maintenance. Recommended.
ARTICLE 7: Cost of approximately $8,000 for the purchase of a new fire truck. Recommended.
This will replace a 25-year old truck which has just about answered its last call.
ARTICLE 8 and 9: Cost of approximately $90,000 and $65,000 respec- tively for constructing, equipping and furnishing new or partial Library facilities. Not recommended.
The Committee has given these Articles serious consideration and recommends deferment until a later date. The Town is involved in an
94
extensive and expensive School expansion program and will incur addi- tional bonded indebtedness in this connection of over $1,000,000 which will result in a total bonded indebtedness in excess of $2,000,000. We recognize the desirability of better Library facilities but, in view of our current financial demands, we feel this proposal should be tabled.
ARTICLE 11: Cost to the Town $2,000. Recommended.
This amount will finance necessary tests and is the first step toward increasing the Town water supply which is a matter of urgent need.
ARTICLE 12: Cost to the Town $2,500. Recommended.
The Committee feels this is favored by the majority of the citizens and therefore recommends the Article.
ARTICLE 13: Transfer of $4,000 from Overlay Reserve Account to Reserve Fund. Recommended.
This is simply a bookeeping transaction and does not entail any ap- propriation.
ARTICLE 15: Use of Free Cash in determining tax rate. Recom- mended.
This Article permits the Assessors to draw on the Excess and Defi- ciency Fund to the extent of $30,000 to lower the 1960 tax rate.
ARTICLE 16: Cost to the Town $9,500. Recommended.
This will establish necessary communication facilities which will be of vital importance, particularly in the case of emergencies. Under agreement, one-half of the annual operating and maintenance expenses will be paid by the Town of Wenham.
ARTICLE 20: The establishment of a Public Works Department. Rec- ommended.
The Finance Committee is of the opinion this would be a construc- tive step and recommends that a Committee be appointed by the Modera- tor to conduct an investigation in this connection.
Respectfully submitted, JOHN C. GARLAND, Chairman CLARK S. SEARS THOMAS G. STEVENSON HAROLD D. MOSES WILLIAM F. COX

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, 1959, showing the amount and source of all receipts, the amount of ap- propriations 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.
