Requests from Reserve Fund
Board of Registrats: Mary McDonough requests transfer of $300 to
pay herself as Clerk of the Board of Registrars. New state law
requires Towns to pay $50 per 1000 voters per year to a clerk who
is a member of the Board of Registrars. This would amount to $750
per year, or $250 for Sept. 1 (when the draw became effective) through
Dec. 31, if this law applies to Mary.
Committee voted against this transfer. $450 was voted in March
to pay the Clerk of the Board of Registrars. Mary McDonough is Clerk
of the Board, but is not a member. Therefore it would seem that
her position is not included in this law.
Police and Fire Medical: 41,000 requested. $500 appropriation has
been spent. Voted to transfer $1,000 from Reserve Fund.
Clerical Pool: $750 requested. Voted to transfer 4750 from Reserve
Fund. This is needed for the paying the Northeastern students who
work for the town under the cooperative program and for the building
inspector's department.
Salary Stuff Committee — Appropriation Committee has been asked to
appoint another member to this com-littee; Don Noyes, who was our
representative, has resigned from Approp. Ctee.
Letters which accompany budget forms should include the name of
the person on this committee who will specialize in that department.
They will also include an extra sheet for estimated reimbursements and
receipts.
Collector of Taxes — Legal steps necessary to change this office
from elected to appointed were discussed. Advisability of combining
Treasurer — Collector was discussed.
Meeting with Selectmen — Linc Cole invited members of committee to
meet with Selectmen at Irv. Mabee's house, ilednesday, Sept. 20, for
an informal discussion of the question of whether the Selectmen's
figures of these of the Appropriation Committee should be read at
Town Meeting.
Respectfully submitted,
Ruth F. Souza, secretary
