Annual Report of the Board of Selectmen


For the first time in many years an entire new Board of Selectmen took over the duties and responsibilities of carrying out the town's business affairs. On March 8, 1949, the Board organized by choosing Marco A. Balzarini as its chairman. It is hoped that the report submitted herewith meets with the approval of the townspeople.


The Board is happy to report that it established vari- ous policies during the year which it feels were for the general good of all. For instance, in the matter of encour- aging veterans to purchase town land available at a nom- inal price for the purpose of building a home for himself and family, some veterans took advantage of this policy and as a result, in several instances, homes are now in the process of being constructed. Such a policy serves many purposes. The primory one is, of course, that it helps to alleviate the housing shortage which still exists in Mil- ford and, at the same time, adds taxable property to the town. The Board believes that this policy should be con- tinued in the future.


This administration has followed the policy of the two previous administrations in that it has supported bet- ter street lighting throughout the town. Notable progress has been made along that line. It is hoped that further improvements will be made in the future as it is the firm conviction of the Board that good street lighting is not only good, sound business for the town but, also, affords better protection to persons and property.


In the matter of designating one-way streets, the Board is of the opinion that it has taken a step forward in the right direction. The opposition, voiced at the time Ex-


9


change Street was designated as such, vanished after a few weeks of trial. It is now agreed by the vast majority that the action taken was right. This Board proposes to take similar steps in the matter of other streets. The Board takes this opportunity to publicly thank the Chief of Police, Chief of the Fire Department, and Investigator William W. O'Brien for their full co-operation.


For the first time in the history of Milford a public Hallowe'en party and parade was held for the youth of Milford under the sponsorship of the Selectmen. The re- sult was hailed by all as being a great innovation. Accord- ing to police records and reports, no damage was done to anyone's property in any way, shape, or manner. That, of course, was something out of the ordinary in the annals of the Police Department. It is well to remember that children engaged in clean, wholesome fun have no time to deface, damage, and destroy property. When one reads daily of the many crimes being committed by teen-agers, it goes without saying that any endeavor which tends to prevent child delinquency is worth while continuing. Hence, this Board recommends strongly the continuance of such an affair. To the many citizens who contributed so unselfishly toward making the affair the hugh success that it was, a heartfelt "Thank You".


The administration is proud to report that the imme- diate steps taken by it to create the Housing Authority has paid dividends in the form of the wholesale moving- in of veterans' families just before Christmas. Shortly, similar scenes may be witnessed at the project. Most all of the credit rightfully belongs to the members of the Housing Authority who gave unstintingly of their time and effort to the end that the housing situation in Milford would be relieved. They are deserving of the unqualified praise of all. May the members of the Authority continue their splendid work.


Another accomplishment of which the administration is proud is its active role in bringing about the Stylon


10


Manufacturing Co. which is located at the old Hopedale Manufacturing Co. plant. Many Milford people are pres- ently employed there and it is more than likely that many more will be employed in the future as it appears that the factory is here to stay.


In conclusion, we would like to say that weekly meet- ings, with special meetings when required, were held throughout the year. Conferences and consulations were held relative to miscellaneous matters which needed im- mediate attention.


Respectfully submitted, MARCO A. BALZARINI, Chairman VINCENT VOTOLATO JOHN J. CASEY
