1963 - Lane Memorial Library

16 HAMPTON TOWN REPORT
Health Department — This account has decreased
$4,900 from the amount submitted by the
selectmen for 1963. The reduction will come about
by having one collection for rubbish disposal for
houses, twice for business places, the year around,
and six times a week for businesses in the summer
if they need it. There will also be a saving in the
amount of gas and oil, repairs to equipment, operating
under this account.
Sewer Maintenance — This account shows an
increase because a great deal of the mens' time will
be spent on sewer maintenance rather than sewer
construction.
Town Dump and Garbage Removal — There is
an increase in this
account due to the fact that the
no longer allow us to burn in the dumps
state will
and therefore this increase is necessary to take care
of burying the rubbish.
Tax Maps — $7,500 is recommended by the
Budget Committee in this account which will cover
the salary and expenses of the Engineer and his
helpers. The amount of $3,932 shown as actual expenditure
in
4. Highways and Bridges
1962 was for only part of a year.
Town Maintenance — A saving can be made in
Town Maintenance by not paving unaccepted streets.
The total amount of money in this account is
$63,300 and is just about the same amount of money
that was expended in 1962.
Street Lighting — The actual
expenditures for
existing streets lights is $34,642 and this slight increase
in the budget allows for additional lights to
be placed at strategic places in the town.
