Reports of Appointed Officers
Finance Committee Report
Approximately 80% of the cost of running the Town of Wilbraham in 1957 is accounted for in two departments, namely the Water Department and the School System. It seems to the Finance Committee that it will be most helpful to give the citi- zens some background on which to base future decisions.
WATER DEPARTMENT
The general growth of the Town has made it necessary to provide additional capacity in the distribution mains. As a result of the addition of the 14 inch main on Springfield Street and the 12-inch main north on Stony Hill Road the firm of Tighe & Bond, Consulting Engineers to the Water Department, made flow tests at 18 points on the system before and after the new mains were cut into service. These tests were made to determine the amount of water available at each location without lowering the pressure below 20 pounds. The data obtained shows the following results:
1. Section on Stony Hill Road, north from Springfield Street to Boston Post Road, gained from 45% to 230% in the volume of water available with flows from 1150 gallons per minute to 1580 gallons per minute being obtained.
2. Section from Stony Hill Road, west on Springfield Street to the Springfield line shows a gain of 130% at a point several hundred feet west of the site of the proposed hospi- tal, and 63% at a point 1600 feet east of the Springfield line, with a flow of 1500 to 1610 gallons per minute respectively.
These tests confirm the expected benefits from the first step in the improvement program recommended to the Town last year. They also show that the area not included in the first step should now be given consideration as follows:
1. The Boston Post Road, from Maple Street to the begin- ning of the 8 inch transit pipe, approximately 5700 feet east of Stony Hill Road is 6-inch cast iron pipe. This has been in service many years. The installation of the 16-inch main called for in the second step will not only bring this
75
area up to the standard now available in the Stony Hill area but will also complete the loop that will then back up the rest of the system.
2. South Main Street from the end of the existing 16-inch main to Tinkham Road. The extension of the 16 inch main a distance of approximately 2500 feet is in line with the future development in the south end of Town and will raise the capacity of the existing main going south of Tinkham Road. The apparent increased demands on this area by the new high school also suggest that it be done at the same time and as part of the contract for the proposed 16-inch main on the Boston Post Road.
3. Stony Hill Road, south of Springfield Street, approximately 1000 feet from the end of the existing main showed a gain of 25% in capacity but still has a flow of only 467 gal- lons per minute. In a report dated November 1954, the firm of Tighe & Bond reported that the portion of the existing pipe south of Springfield Street to the first hydrant is "in serious condition." This condition should be cor- rected, and we feel that there are sufficient funds in the 1958 budget of the Water Department to take care of it.
When the construction recommended in the 1958 budget is completed the capacity of the existing system will be adequate for some years. Any further extensive capital expenditures for new mains will be to serve populated areas not now served. A policy covering such extensions is being considered by your Town authorities.
SCHOOL DEPARTMENT
The cost during 1957 of operating the schools, including in- terest and capital payments, represented 68% of the total Town budget. Until the time comes for the full operation of the new high school these costs will undoubtedly increase substantially.
In 1950 you were told at Town Meeting that teachers' salaries were not comparative with other fields of activity and it was felt that this should be corrected as reasonably fast as possible, but with some consideration of the other burdens falling on the citizens. The Town has followed this policy in good faith.
If the recommendations of the School Committee for 1958 are approved at the Town Meeting, starting salaries for a teacher holding a Bachelor of Arts degree will have been increased 61%,

and the top rate 94% over our 1950 basis. We are recommend- ing this action and are glad that this progress has been made.
We believe, however, that the rates that will then be in effect are substantially a correction of the previously existing inequal- ity and that further changes in teachers' salaries should reflect the general conditions affecting the economy as a whole rather than giving consideration only to the schools as a unit.
When one realizes that teachers have a permanent life-long job after three years, with no danger of loss of employment due to business recessions etc., have a two months vacation and a good pension system, their profession now makes a favorable comparison with other fields of activity.
During this period of adjustment of low salaries since 1950 the cost per student, including high school, will have risen 94% and the cost per student in the grade schools 85%. Teachers' salaries per student in the grade schools will have risen 96%.
GENERAL
During the period of increasing costs for schools other de- partments of the Town have been operating on restricted budgets in order to hold the overall cost of operating our Town at the lowest possible figure consistent with efficient operation. Pres- sures are building up in these departments as a result of growth, to a point where increased budgets will be required.
77
In accordance with usual procedure the Finance Committee has reviewed and made recommendations concerning all articles in the warrant involving expenditures. Our recommendations include the use of $144,000.00 from surplus funds and the rais- ing by taxation of approximately $100,000 more in 1958 than was raised by taxation in 1957.
Establishing a tax rate is of course the duty of the Assessors based on information which will not be completely available to them until after Town Meeting. Giving recognition to the expected increase in property valuation in 1958, the tax rate may increase as much as $7.00. Without the use of these carefully guarded surplus funds our estimate would have been much higher.

Forest Warden
4,127 permits issued for open air fires. Under State Law a permit is required for all open air fires. At numerous times of the year no burning in the open is allowed. For said permit dial LY 6-3014 or LY 6-3122. Our emergency phone LY 6-3111 is not to be used. The only incinerator that can be used in the open without a permit must be one that releases no sparks or open flame. Wire Basket Type is not allowed in Wilbraham. If in doubt when purchasing an incinerator, call the Fire Chief for information. Department responded to 106 fires of this nature in 1957 - far too many.
