Report of the Selectmen for the Year 1939
Since the report of the Board at the end of 1938, the Board has been filled by the addition of a new member to its normal complement of three members. This has enabled your Board to function with the least possible friction and delay, since it is composed of three inde- pendent individuals with no permanent majority alignment, so that decisions in all matters before the Board can readily be disposed of, if not unanimously, by the agreement of any two of the independent members.
The Board has undertaken an innovation which has been very well received by the public, in making and publishing monthly reports of the financial condition of the various departments. This has served to keep the voters and taxpayers currently informed of progress from one annual meeting to the next. The summarization of these monthly re- ports will indicate the very gratifying progress which has been made in the handling of the town's financial affairs, in a manner which will result in the return to the town of several substantial unexpended bal- ances of annual appropriations. We take this opportunity to congratu- late all of the departments which have cooperated to produce this result.
The Selectmen have cooperated with the Chamber of Commerce on at least three important matters. They have done all in their power to attract new industries to Braintree, with the result that two large new plants have been located here within the past year. The transpor- tation problem, with particular reference to the railroad, has received their attention, and one member of the Board, together with the Town Counsel, is now working on that problem in conjunction with the Old Colony Commuters' League. They have also considered and will pre- sent to the Town Meeting, in conjunction with the Chamber of Com- merce, a program for the establishment of parking places adjacent to the shopping centers of the Town.
In conjunction with the parking problem, which is constantly in- creasing in importance, the Board has spent much time in the prepara- tion of a code of traffic and parking regulations for the Town which awaits the approval of the State Department of Public Works before being made effective.
The Board has uniformly opposed billboard advertising along our highways which would impair the beauty of the Town. In this con- nection, they have also required improvements and beautifications of certain business premises operating under permit from the Board.
The Board has held for the convenience of the citizens, regular meetings twice a month and special meetings whenever required. On the problems presented to the Board, they have acted in the best inter- ests of the Town as they have determined that interest to exist and will continue to do so, welcoming any constructive suggestions from the citi- zens as to the management of their affairs.
Respectfully submitted,
HENRY D. HIGGINS, ALBERT E. ROBERTS, HENRY H. STORM, Board of Selectmen.
