Board of Selectmen at Veterans' Day Ceremony.


The Year's Progress


The serious task of the town authorities lies in finding ways to keep step with the town's growth, in providing enough industrial activity to insure a satisfactory grand list and thus a proper tax rate, at the same time that present and future residents have attractive and protected places in which to enjoy living. In this endeavor the past year has included the acquisition of desirable land, a number of surveys and ^studies, passage or ordinances, extension of services, and a hard look at needed changes or revamping of government structures.


The recommendations of a Town Government Study Committee were received and turned over to a Charter Revision Commission, with the prospect of abandonment of the present RTM-Selectmen form of government and the adoption of one better adapted to the present size and magnitude of the town.


A job evaluation survey of town employees and non-professional school staff was conducted by the State Personnel Department, and its advice was in large measure used in the preparation of the present salary budget. A revision of the employees' Pen- sion Plan brought extended benefits; and in May a Credit Union was instituted in the employees' interest.


The largest bond issue ever floated by Hamden was in the amount of $4,075,000: a part being for improvements, but most of it for school costs. School needs now require 58% of the town budget ..


Hamden shared financially in activities of the Regional Planning Agency of South Central Connecticut. The town also contributed $200 to a full-page advertise- ment in the New York Times, sponsored by area towns through the New Haven Cham- ber of Commerce Industrial Committee, extolling the advantages of this metropolitan area.


The firm of Goodkind & O'Dea was employed to make a comprehensive plan of development of the town, and two reports have already been made, in which a study of a proposed industrial area on Sherman Avenue was outlined.


The Meadowbrook Study Committee brought in a detailed report on a list of civic uses which could be made of the 68 acres owned by the town. Over a period of many months. the subject of acquiring or not acquiring 32 acres adjoining the golf course made continuous news. A number of meetings with the owner and the selectmen were held; three prominent appraisers advised the selectmen on the value of the land; the RTM recommended its purchase, even by condemnation; but no mutual agreement could be reached.

Brooksvale Park came into prominence with a gift from the Grange of $1,308; and an ordinance which designated it as a bird sanctuary and wild life area. Seventy- three acres of adjoining land was acquired, and application was made for a federal grant covering 20% of the $36,000 purchase price. The property will be permanent open space' land. The interested public was invited to a tour of the land in Septem- ber


By request of the Junior Hamden Historical Society, the town leased to it a par- cel of land abutting Brooksvale Avenue and Mount Sanford Street, on which lie the remains of a canal lock, once a part of the old Farmington Canal. The young people wish to restore and preserve it as an historical landmark.


A nine-member Soil Conservation Committee was appointed, to work with the Agricultural and Soil Conservation Agency in initiating a soil conservation and flood prevention project for Shepherd Brook, Farm Brook, and the Mill River watersheds. Town departments also agreed to assist if necessary, the U. S. Army Corps of Engi- neers in a flood study of the Quinnipiac River.


The town accepted a piece of land in Paradise Hills sub-division, for recreational use and as a drainage control. A recreation area was established on Sebec Street in the Forest Hills section.


Following a Recreation Commission-sponsored survey on the possible cost and location of an ice skating rink, a committee was named, and with a goal of $100,000 plans are in progress to campaign for a public subscription.


Purchase was made of a 16-acre property on Shepard Avenue, where a Public Works garage will be built.


An ordinance was adopted concerning the towing of cars in winter snow plow- ing times; and another ordinance restricts the use of space heaters. A much more controversial ordinance, approving the fluoridation of the public water supply, was adopted by the RTM. A referendum held in June sustained the ordinance.


Under the sponsorship of the U. S. Navy Department, an engineering firm sur- veyed the town to determine the fall-out shelter potential in existing buildings.


The town contracted once more for the present type of garbage collection, and extended the contract with the Town of North Haven for the use of the dump. Mean- while, negotiations continue for possible inclusion in the use of New Haven's inciner- ator plant, due for completion in July.


One of the few ancient duties of the selectmen, which has twice this year been performed, is that of fence-viewing, in which neighbor disputes about property bor- ders are settled. The selectmen sincerely hope that Hamden continues to preserve what is proper of its old procedures, going forward with the times in adoption of such changes as work to the best interests of its citizens.

Board of Finance


Eleven regular and four executive meetings of the board were held during the fiscal year, as well as the customary three budget hearings in the summer. The hear- ings are not as well attended as the board might wish, by citizens whose concern it is that needs are there expressed by department heads and officials for the funds to run the government for the next fiscal year. The major work of the board follows these hearings, and a budget is set, this time for $8,802,899.50 for 1962-63.


The firm of Kircaldie, Randall & McNab, certified public accountants, was again appointed auditors for the town year.


Among the actions taken in November was the allocation of funds for a com- prehensive salary-and-job evaluation study, which was made by the State Personnel Department and put into effect in the current budget. Funds were also allocated for Phase II of the Sherman Avenue Industrial Study.


In February the members of the board participated in a Yale University Politi- cal Science Research Project in which evaluation was made of the responsibilities and operation of boards of finance. A check for $100 for this participation was received, and the money was allocated in equal shares to the Hamden Fathers' Baseball Asso- ciation, the Brooksvale Recreation gift fund, the Library gift fund and the Ice Rink Committee.


In September a meeting was held with the tax collector, finance accountant and representatives of the assessors and the auditors, to discuss possible reorganization of the assessors, tax and treasurer's offices and of future mechanization. In this same interest a field trip was made to New Haven to observe data-processing equipment.

Representative Town Meeting


The Representative Town Meeting held six meetings during the fiscal year 1962. For the third consecutive year the membership voted to establish the following permanent standing committees: Rules and Procedure; Education; Safety; Public Works; Health, Welfare and Recreation; and Administrative Services. In addition, special committees were appointed to study the Uniform Fiscal Year, the Town Gov- ernment Study Report, and the acquisition of additional acreage of the Meadowbrook property. These standing and special committees spent many hours in careful deli- beration of the matters referred to them.


On May 28, the membership voted to adopt an ordinance which would require fluoridation of the public water supply. A referendum held on June 25 to repeal this ordinance, failed to obtain the necessary plurality.


The cooperation of the majority and minority leaders, the stewardship and gui- dance of the committee chairmen and the dedicated and unselfish efforts of the total membership, combined to make the Representative Town Meeting a vital arm of town government during 1962.

Registrars of Voters


The total number of names registered on the 1962 voting list was 23,939 as com- pared to 23,887 on the 1961 list. Of this number 19,436 (or 81%), voted in the state election. During the year 1,538 voters were made, as compared to 2,019 in 1961.


In addition to the state election in November, Democratic primaries for town committee members were held in two districts, and a referendum was held on fluorida- tion.


A new voting machine was purchased this year to provide for future needs. We wish to thank the selectmen and the Police Department for their valuable cooperation, which made voting easier for Hamden voters.

Sealers of Weights and Measures


Since November 1961, inspection of scales and automatic pumps in over 175 business establishments in Hamden has been made. Prior to the end of 1962 this figure, which includes rechecks where scales or pumps were found to be in error, should approximate 200.


A total of 216 automatic pumps were inspected and sealed as correct, while 27 were condemned for repairs. Only 14 scales were condemned for repairs or adjust- ments, while 225 were found to be correct.


Fine cooperation was afforded me by every merchant.

Hamden Employees' Retirement


At a special Representative Town Meeting on May 8, 1962, a revised act as re- commended by the Retirement Board, was formally adopted. This new act gives in- creased benefits to employees of the town, and also to any dependent widow and minor children.


The Retirement Board worked diligently in the past year and a half, with Grant Nickerson of the law firm of Wiggin and Dana, and with Mr. Buck, the actuary, in the creation of the new act, with the purpose of providing greater benefits to em- ployees, while at the same time guarding against becoming a financial burden to the town's appropriation to the fund.


At the close of the fiscal year there were 327 active and 41 retired members in the retirement fund.

Recreation Commission


In the course of the fiscal year 1961-62, increase in program, development and personnel was the theme.


Added to our already varied program was a touch football league for men 18 years of age and older, charm classes for the junior high school girls, indoor golf lessons for adults and children, and children's ballroom dance lessons.


All of the lessons that are offered and conducted by the department are taught by qualified instructors, and paid for by the participants.
