Selectmen's Report
The Selectmen met and organized February 14, 1955 as follows: Donald Outhuse, Chairman; Walter E. Kel- logg, Jr., Clerk and Veterans' Agent, and Frank Paul, Chairman of the Board of Welfare.
Fifty-two regular meetings were held during the year.
Chapter 90 road construction was completed on the lower end of the Ashfield Road. Construction was then started at the town line but was not completed because of the August flood.
Chapter 81 Construction was done on Nash Street.
We recommend the purchase of a sander for the town. We also recommend the purchase of a new truck, trading one or two of the old ones.
Our highway program was disrupted due to the floods of August and October. It was necessary to stop our regular work and spend almost 8 weeks on flood repairs. Part of this work was done under the direction of the U. S. Army, Corp of Engineers, and we have received over $6400 reimbursement from them. The balance of the work was done under the Mass. Flood Damage Law and we are now in process of getting a settlement from them. In all over $11,000 has been spent to make these damaged roads passable and there is more to do, we hope at no cost to the town.

We wish to sincerely thank the other town officers, committees and townspeople for their cooperation and support during the past year.

Report of Finance Committee
The Finance Committee refers you to the Town Accountant report wherein is listed those transfers made by the Finance Committee from Reserve Fund for year of 1955.
The reason for these transfers was to meet unforeseen and emergency needs of various departments which occurred during the year.
Last year in our report we requested all Departments to live within their appropriation as voted by Town Meet- ing and to notify Finance Committee of any financial emergency when it arises and not wait until end of year. We are very happy to state that our request was com- plied with and our transfers were not as large as in pre- vious years.
The Finance Committee has met with all Departments and have discussed ways and means of keeping Budget Requests at a minimum.
All articles in Warrant calling for appropriation have been acted upon and will be reported in Town Meeting.
The Committee having acted on Budget Requests and knowing of the large increase, are concerned about appropriations on articles which will increase our Tax Rate a substantial amount in 1956. Our available funds are not as large as they should be, because of refunds from the State which did not come in for use in our 1956 budget.
13
We hope all citizens of the Town will be cautious in the action on articles presented in Town Warrant so that our Tax Rate will not go out of bounds.
Respectfully submitted,
