REPORT OF THE FINANCE COMMITTEE
Sudbury, Mass.
Irebruary i.0, C.932'
We are passing through a period of economic readjustment. Our incomes have been lessened, aud in some cases
to the extent that has meant the curtailment of necessities.
It is very apparent that our expendi-tures must be g'iven
serious thought. This applies to the town as r.vell as
individuals. The town must lower its grants in order to
lessen the burden on il,s people. 'Ihis can be accomplished
onlv bv the cooperation between town ofIìcials and the
taxþayörs. 'l'he tow¡i oflìcials rnuSt appreciaie the taxpayers-burdens and only expend what is absolutel¡' necessary
at this time. The taxpayers must appreciate the positiort
of the town ollÌcials and not be so drastic in their reductiou
of expenses as to produce ineflìciency in_ the operations.
Each party must respect the feelings of the other and be
*,illing to-compromise on a situation r,vhich is very acute.
'I'he Finance lloard was ashed to approve grants totalling $90,3 j.2.00 or $7,866.00 mole than the amouut
grántecl last year. If this amouut is grantecl it will inðrease the tax rate to an alarming fìgure.
'fhe arnount raised by taxes has increased frorn $40,
690.88 in 4"924. to $77,579.86 in '1934.. Our valuatiou has
increased from $1,627,590.00 in 4.924. lo $2,462,570.00
in 493'1. Our funclecl clebt has increasecl from $15,000.00
in '1926 to S89,000.00 in '1931. Urrless u,e guarcl our expenditures thc tovt,n rvill fìncl great cliflìcttlty in borrowirtg
monef in auticipation of taxes.
Thð Finance- Roard is an aclvisor¡' boarcl and catr ouly
mahe recommenclations. V/ith this in mincl the Finauce
Boarcl has encleavorecl to make recomlnenclations that are
basecl on reliable information and vi,ith a serious vier.v of
the problem befole it. It is not a ¡ropular idea to be
econbmical and the Fitrance Board must appeal to the taxsunoort.
navers
' 'ffre for
Finan'c'e Roald submits the following recommenclations.
láe recommend that all compeusation for services of
oflìeers and employees paid by the tor¡'n be reduced teu
per-cent.
' 'V/e recommend that the town accept the stafe and
on expenditures for transportation; .viz, an
national ruling-five
ceñts per mile for light cars, (Fords,
allowance of
1l
Chevrolets, etc), attcl sevell celts per urile-on heav¡'. cars,

The item for heat ancl janitor services explains the overru¡r of
the appropriation; the cornmittee expected that the builcìing woulcl
be complctecl before the necessity for heating atose. Delay in
obtaining title to the property delayed the erection of the building,
rnaking the comlnittee responsible for heating it for three rvintet

Geutlelnen-lfhe report of l,he superirrterrrlenI erl' cerneteries is lierervith subrnitted:
'fhe olcl cernetery, at the center of the llou,n, has beelr
mown ancl trilnmecl trvelve times cluring the ptrst, seûsou.
Iìy frequent u'eeclings \\:e ût'e gradually obtaining a pessable a¡ipeatarìce of the turf here. We have graded the

area shonlcl be sou'rr in lhe s¡rring, arrcl then hept mou'rr.
\Ã/e appreciate the interest shou,u ilt lhis cemetery, arrrì
liope that it s'ill I:e carefulll' tenclecl from nou' on.
We have mo\\¡n all thc lots in the 'l'ou'n arrcl Monnt.
Pleasalrt cemeteries seventeen times this past ¡'s¿¡. 'We
ìrave been able to do lhis through appropriation, gifls ancì
accumulated
pa.icl

of necessar¡' grading in both of these cemetelies. All lots

In corrchrding this. my fìnaì r'eport as su¡rerintenclent

REPORT OF TOWN PLANNING BOARD
'Iìre zoning b¡--ìau', as adolìted b.1' the ton'ns1rc<l¡'lle ¿rt their
annual tol'n lneeting ìast tr{alch, \\'as appt'ovecì b.r' the attorne¡general of the Crlmmonrr.e¿rltìr of n,I¿rssachusetts anc'[ bcc¿rure effective October 30, 1931.
This b.v-larv now p¿ìves the l'a.t- for au {l'dcrl¡' grol'th in the
tou'n of Suclbru'¡' and opens the clool to that t¡'pe of citizen l'ho
not olll.r' takes plide in his ol'n houre ancì its sur.rorurclings, but in
the grolnth ancl cìevelopment of tìre tor¡'n as a rvhole. 'Ihe tolvnspeople are ìrow afforcled that protcction to plopert¡'l'hich light-
full¡- belongs to tJrem.
This boald has been espcciall.r' active cluriug the ¡rast ¡'ear
stucl¡'iug through highl'a¡' routes. Several rueetings l'ith the
Wa¡'land torvn plauuing boarcl havc.been helcl for the purpose of
consiclcriug a possibìe b¡'-pass of tìre Boston Post roacl fbr ihe two
tou'us. 'lhe route as at preseut plannecl b¡' the Statc l-Iighrvay
Commission for coustmction in 1933, either cuts clou'n ol ser.iously
injures practicall¡' all of the ffue shacle tr.ees along the Boston Post
roacl from the Nerr'I-Iaveu laih.oacl crossing to the east cncl of l(ing
Philip roacl, besicles seriousl¡' affccting man¡- of thc trees florn thô
Neu' IIaven railroarl clossing l'est to the nel' Forcì roacl. Such a
change in our highn'a¡' beaut¡' s'oulcl be extreurcl¡r cletrimental to
the best intercsts of thc tou'n ancl \\'e ulge all eitizens of the tol'n
to strongly protest au¡'such plan. We must also consicler. that a
furthel u'iclening of that construction done in 1933 rvill be J:ut a
fslv ¡'eârs arva¡' if the plesent rate of automobile tl'affic is tnaintainecl. This l'idening rvoulcl still furthcr dcstlo¡' the peacefirl
¿ncl natural develo¡lnent of our. corntnunitJ' if the roacl is r.ebuilt
on its present locatiou.
Jnst as soon as the financcs of this tolvn allou'it, this boarcl
reconrmencls that au aerial survey at a sufffcientlv large scale be
made of this tol'n. 'fhis surve¡' u'ould ser.ve as a gr.a¡lhical basis
fol all studies of the ton'n's development.
This boarcl tvishes to express its pleasure s'ith the appeatance
of tìle uel, torvn h¿rll. \\t'e hope tliat the grounds about the builcling itsclf rvill be cleveloped just as soon as fnncls pennit. It is
essential that this builcling be given the proper setting.
During the last ttvelve years various suggestions have been
advancecl relatir.e to a memorial to the Sudbury veterans of the
Wolld l'ar. None of these suggestions have contemplatetl the use
of the so-callecl For.cl lot in Sudbury Center. This board suggests
that if title to this lot can be acquired that the development of this
propert¡' as a tìterìrorial park will be of distinct advantage to the
torvn in ever)' rva.\'. ft u'ould add. a beauty spot to the õenter of
80
the tonn and. eliminate any possibility of detÌimental d.evelopmeut
of that lot.
At the annual town meetiug in March, L931, the sum of $100'00
\\¡as appropriated for the neeãs of this boarcl, which has been

'We rvould be glad if more

chilch'en. Suggestions ol criticisrns from real friencls of
the school are alwavs hindlv received. but criticisms fronr

To maintain the excellent stancling of our schools par.ents
ancl friends must not be srl'ept off their feet, b¡' lhe ¡ìrevailing cry of retrenchment.
Children rnust not have the founclatiotr of their
intellectual training underminecl. Unsettlecl conclition

R,EPOR,T OF
THE SCHOOT NURSE
To the Suclburl' School Committee:
A-report of the school nursing for the ¡'ear enclecl December 3l; 1931, is hereb¡' submitled.
---Forty-one days \/ere spent in Sudbury school s'orli:
56 home visits made. i.52-oflìce calls of pirpils treatecl or
advised, 8 trips to hospitals, clinics, etc.. ail þupils u'eigherl

Dr'. Spárhs asslsterl

uotices of clefects ancl
rìecessary follon'-u¡t made atrcì other routine u'or.lt
camied out.

Irr September there were 27 pupils, t0/o or more below
standarci in weight in the fìrst èig'ht grades. To coltsider
all those children undernourished on the basis of average
woight for this age and height is unwise. At the time of
the physical examinations, Dr. Sparhs made a special study
of that group and found only C,7 children undernoulished.
Averages are of much less value emong the High School
students ancl no underweight list was macle.
On May 14., 4,934,, Dr. Spalhs gave the Schich'fest io
48 children and in November, '193i., Diphtheria ToxinAntitoxin was administerecl to i.8 chilclren including 3 of
pre-school age.
The third annual Dental Clinic under the auspices of the
Parent-Teacher Association \Ã/&s conducted cluring the
spring term. The dentist, I)r. V/illiam Cosgrove of Lexirrgton, toolç care of 46 pupils, u'hich is 22ù/o of the school
population.
May i again express my appreciation of tlie co-operation given to me during the year by your Cornmiftee. the
snperinterrclent, teachers, pupils ancl par.ents.
Respectfull¡'.
