To either of ~he Constables o~ ~he To~ o£ Nantucket, greeting: .- . . In the name of the C0m'mor~ealth o£ Massachusetts you are directed to notify the inhabitants o£ the Town of Nantucket, qualified to vote in Town Affairs, .to meet at ¥oung's Bicycle Shop, No. 6 Broad Street, in sai.d. Nantucket, on Monday, March 7, 1960, at 7 o'clock in the forenoon, then and there to act on the £ollowing articles: RecommendatiOns of the Finance Committee PREFACE To the Citizens of the Town of Nantucket: In the past t~vo months of nightly deliberations, this Committee has been confronted with the usual problem of Island economy and a moderate tax rate. This is indeed an ahnost insurmountable task, when before you is a warrant which contains many costly and equally important needs of the town. That they should all be requested this year is unfortunate; but, we feel that such a situation is inevitably caused by a past overemphasi~ on economy. Many of our problems today are due to lack of foresight in the past. To remedy this situation, being ever mindful of true economy, certain nee, ds have to be recognized each year until xve have overcome past errors of complacency. No longer can we ignore the Town Building, Department equipment, Transportation, Recreation, and the Water Front. To do so, with competition such as it is, we could xvithin a few years invite disaster for many .of the permanent residents and businesses. But, ~ve believe the future of the Island is very promising if you are willing to advance. The Finance Committee ~vould like to recommend acceptance of the following, namely in Article 8: . (1) That all salaries remain apart from any Department ~Budget with the following exceptions: Social Worker and Clerk, Airport Commission, Siasconset Water Department. The remaining Departments' Budgets are itemized only for public view and to help the Departments to estimate their yearly expenditures for the following year. · ~ ~:' (2) That the salaries of all employees 'shall remain- ~ listed in the ~Annual Warrant for the year 1960 pro~vided the personnel ~listed are not~ discharged, retired, etc., and unless others are hired to fill said vacancies, the amount provided shall revert to E&D. Further, that all salary increases shall not be retroactive but shall begin on March 1, 1960. -~'~ Concerning other Articles, 'etc.: ~;. ,~ , . (1) We recommend, regardless~of amounts, .wherever possible all items and articles o£ Fifty Dollars ($50.00) or over shall be put.out to bids and that all amounts over the items and articles revert to E&D., '~ (2) Further, 'we recommend that all bills not itemized to the satisfac: tion of any one Selectman shall not be paid. '.. , ...'7.-,. ,~ · .~ : · · (3) As a notice to all, we have voted to eliminate' in' the yea~ 1961, ~nder "Info~ation Bureau," the item, "Guest House Booklets." We feel this is a subsidy not afforded any other business; and xvith agencies established to se~e just such a purpose, ~ve feel that this amonnt should be ~vithdraxvn. (4) Tha~ all Toxvn Departments and Toxvn Offices, when purchasing ma- te~'ials and supplies, do so from a local merchant 'or business when possible. (5) Thatj dd~~ t~ the ~ver~incre~si~g ~Ma~'ies ~nd m~ages for. Tox~ cers and employees, some though~ should be given to the possibility of con- solidating these offices and jobs when and xvhere practicable, as it is our feel- ing that some of ~hese individual jobs or positions do not warrant a ~ull-time employee or attendant; and that, by consolidation, the Town should save the Whole o~ part of one salary; and.that, the Personnel Board, if appointed, consider this recommendation. ' ......... ~' ~' ~" Discounting any appreciable~change of expenditures 'at ~he ~nnual Toxvn Meeting, xve believe that the tax rate for 1960 may be approximately Fifty-Three Dollars (.$53.00) per Thousand. And on Monday, March 7, 1960, ~ bring in their votes, all on one ballot, for the following: One Moderator for one year; Five Selectmen for one year; One ~easurer for one year; One Collector of Taxes ~or one year; One Assessor for thr~ years; One Sewer Commissioner for ~hree years; One Water Commissioner ior three, year~; Two School Committee members for ~hree years; Six Constables for one year; One Nantucket Planning Board mmber for five years;, and One Nantucket Historic Districts Commission member for five years. ~ ~, ~-~ ¥, ~ - .
