REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE FINANCE AND ADVISORY COMMITTEE
The Town of Hamilton is again faced with the rising cost of operating expenses which all other municipalities are encountering and have en- countered during the past decade. This trend has been due to the con- tinued rise in the cost of living, to the increased cost of all commodities, the increase in the population and the continued trend of people moving from the crowded urban cities to the once less populated communities such as Hamilton. Your Finance Committees dislikes as much as all of you the prospect year after year of a continued rise in your tax rate. We feel, how- ever, that you are entitled to and would demand all of the protection and services that a good efficient administration would provide. Our duty as a Finance Committee is to study all of the needs of the departments that serve you and to then recommend to you what we feel will provide for you the minimum services which we feel the Town of Hamilton should afford. It is inevitable that in order to do this that we spend more. The major in- creases of the 1961 budget over 1960 are :
1960
1961
Increase
1. Education (including
Regional School)
$442,000.00
$525,000.00
$83,000.00
2. Highways
73,000.00

3. Protection

14,000.00
4. Charities
45,000.00
53,000.00
8,000.00
5. Maturing Debt
120,000.00
131,000.00
11,000.00
$126,000.00
1. The increase in the budget for education is due principally to the in- crease and adjustment in salries which was voted at the Town Meeting a year go. When salary adjustments are made by the school department they take effect as of September 1. Therefore your 1960 budget only reflected four months of the increase and adjustment whereas the 1961 budget calls for the full year's increase. The total for the increase in education is also reflected by an increase of over $25,000.00 in the 1961 budget for the Regional School.
2. Because of the severity of the present winter the Highway budget is increased by $10,000.00 to cover the cost of snow removal. At the present time there is a possibility that some help may be forthcoming from the Massachusetts Legislature towards the cost of snow removal but until such legislation is actually passed the Town must provide the necessary funds.

3. This past year we added the Report Center which was caused by the installation of dial telephone service in Hamilton. We have an agreement with the Town of Wenham to share the cost of operating this center but receipts from such sources can not be paid out and consequently we have to appropriate the full cost.
4. A new item has been added to the public assistance requirements of the Town this year-"medical assistance to the aged" which was voted last year by the Legislature. Our cost for this item is to be $15,000.00 for 1961. Some of this assistance was, in 1960, furnished under the items of "old age assistance," "aid to dependent children" and "Disability Assistance." The net increase to the Town is therefore $8,000.00 instead of the $15,000.00 required by the new act. We have joined these items in the budget under our new heading of Public Assistance.
5. The increase in the Maturing debt and interest item is caused by the fact that in 1961 we are commencing payments on the Bond issue voted last year for the construction of the new Library.
All department budgets for 1961 show slight increases due to salary and wage adjustments which the Finance Committee deemed expedient. In studying the overall picture of salaries and wages in the Town it is quite apparent that there are some inequalities. In the absence of a Personnel Classification and Compensation By-Law any adjustment to be recom- mended can only be made on a general percentage basis affecting all employees. We feel that if a Public Works department should be adopted by the Town that any present inequalities would be found and adjusted. If such a department is not formed then we believe the Town should consider the possible adoption of a By-law which would establish a classification and the compensation of all town employees.
