Selectmen's Report


To the Citizens of Williamsburg :


Greetings :


Another year in the service of our neighbors as Se- lectmen has been an enjoyable one. We have been con- fronted with problems at times but feel that they were resolved easily and in the best interest of our citizens.


Our organization meeting was March 3, 1959 with Walter E. Kellogg, Jr. as Chairman; Frank P. Paul, as Clerk; and Carl M. Hemenway, Chairman of Public Wel- fare.


Mrs. Ruth T. Mongeau, who had served the Town as Secretary for several years, resigned, and it was with re- gret that we accepted the loss of her capable and effi- cient service. Mrs. Clara L. Rustemeyer was appointed to succeed her.


The Town Hall offered us some concern. Walking traffic failed to confine itself to the sidewalk causing much wear on the lawn which necessitated the erection of a rustic fence. We have had several requests for the use of the Hall which we have granted for dancing classes, Girl Scouts, Art Exhibition, etc. We have an antiquated and inefficient heating system which hampers more use of the building. There are repairs needed which we anti- cipate completing in 1960.


It was our pleasure, with the Fire Department, to attend the Hadley and Amherst anniversary celebrations representing our town.


8


It was necessary to borrow money for the operation of the town in the amount of $40,000.00, of which $18,000.00 was in anticipation of revenue and $22,000.00 in antici- pation of reimbursement of highways; which was nego- tiated for at 2.4% and 2.5% respectively.


We have met with the School Committee concerning the storage of winter sand adjacent to the school area with regards to the safety of the pupils. It is proposed that the situation might be resolved with the construction of a walk from the South Street portion of the school property to the Anne T. Dunphy School similar to the road as was originally planned.


Meetings have been attended with State and County representatives of the Department of Public Works with regard to the Chapter 81 and 90 highways of our town. A report relative to our highways will be found elsewhere in this report as prepared by the Highway Superin- tendent.


We were saddened since the close of 1959 by the pass- ing of our Clerk, Frank P. Paul, who had endeavored to serve his fellow citizens faithfully and diligently since his election to the Board in 1954.


We wish to thank members of all town departments for their fine cooperation during 1959. It has been our privi- lege to have served as your Selectmen again.


WALTER E. KELLOGG, JR., Chairman


CARL M. HEMENWAY, Clerk, Pro Tem
