of $1,375 over 1962, but with the exception of a
$400 increase in the Town Managers' salary, there
is really no increase in the amount of salaries paid
to Town Officials. The difference comes in the method

Town Officers Salaries so that instead of getting
paid in advance of their working, they would be paid

and postage. The cost of postage and supplies has
increased. This account allows the adding of $75.00
for the Town Clerk's expenses, an increase in
stenographic
help.
The election and registration expenses budgeted
for 1963 reflect a decrease of $1,050 over 1962 because
there are no November or Primary Elections

printed. This amount of $700 is within $250 of the
amount suggested by the Selectmen. There is no
money budgeted for Election Clerks.
There are some small deductions made under
the accounts of Municipal Court expenses and expenses
for the Town Hall and Other Buildings, over
what was previously budgeted in 1962 and we believe
