61 Meeting of the Appropriation Committee, August 1, 1930, 7:30 p.m. Present: Frank Parrish, J. Blaisdell, L. Clarke, D. Noyes, Al Kenney, L. Zehner, R. Souza, and R. Perry, Comptroller Reserve Fund Requests $1,000 requested by Selectmen for Clerical Pool account #1015. Mr. Parrish had telephoned members about this request. Vote in favor was confirmed at this meeting. $200 requested for Police Dept. Expense accoun #3800, Xerox supplies. This machine was reported to be used by many departments — more supplies needed. Voted to transfer $200 from Reserve Fund. $500 requested for Cemetery Dept. Personal Service account #1350. Reason given was that there were more Saturday burials, requiring extra pay. Discussion brought out the fact that this request, for the same reason, had been made last, that $500 extra had been requested the previous year, and that the first six months of 1966 had used a little less tha 1/2 the Personal Service budget. Decided to ask Cemetery Commissioners to meet in Sept. to attempt, with the aid of the Comptroller's more detailed breakdown of expenditures, to find out what portion of this budget was being used for overtime, and to foredast next year's needs more accurately. Voted against transfer at tis time. $5,000 requested for Veterans Benefits, Aids and Expenses #1200. Change in residence law and larger number of requests for aid have resulted in expenditure of $7,058 of the $10,000 appropriated, leaving $2,941 for the remaining 6 months of 1966. Mr. Belcastro projects that $8,000 will be needed. Voted to transfer $5,000 from Reserve Fd. Reserve Fund $55,000 appropriated 500 transferred 6/6/66 to Rec.
