Report of Selectmen 1941


The Selectmen submit to the citizens of the Town of Braintree here- with the Annual Report of the various town departments for the year 1941.


During that year, the Town, with the nation, has passed through a state of emergency into a state of war. This transition has occasioned considerable extra work for the Selectmen, on which they have reported to the Town at a Special Meeting called in December.


Except for this departure from normal governmental functions, the Selectmen have continued in their effort to administer the general affairs of the Town in an orderly, efficient and economical manner; a fact which appears in the reports which follow in detail from the various depart- ments.
