Board of Selectmen
HARRISON T. SMILEY, Chairman
CHESTER W. NELSON, Clerk FRED A. TENNEY
Upon the election of Mr. Nelson as a new member of the Board in place of Mr. Hollis, who retired volun- tarily, the Board was organized on the basis indicated above.
Public meetings continued as in recent years on the first, second and fourth Mondays of each month except during July and August.
Many matters of interest to particular groups and neighborhoods were heard and disposed of at these meet- ings; they were too numerous to detail in such a report as this. Many such problems normally require the inter- vention of the Selectmen merely to route them to the proper operating departments with suggestions as to possible manner of relief from the complaint.
One of the important functions relates to the licens- ing of Alcoholic Beverages. With reference to this sub- ject the Selectmen have heard and acted on three com- plaints for violations. Firm action on these complaints appears to have the desired effect of warning the trade so that the number of such complaints and consequent damage to public interest thereby is held at the minimum. There have been in the Licensing Department various problems as to possible relocations for Licensees who have been forced to vacate by the highway expansion program, particularly on Railroad and Pearl Streets. As these individual problems have come before the Selectmen, they have endeavored to consider fairly the interests of the LICENSEE if the proposed new location is acceptable but have refused relocated licenses in instances where the proposed new location would have been detrimental to the public interest.
Among the Selectmen's powers is included that of selling at auction land acquired through Tax Title fore- closure. During the past year there has been consider- able activity in this branch. No such sales are made until we are assured that the Town will receive, at least, a minimum price which is deemed adequate for the prop-
3
erty. There have been some instances in which active auctions have taken place, under the Selectmen's super- vision, resulting in sales at somewhat higher prices.
Perhaps, however, the most important work of the Selectmen during the past year has been in the broader field of promotional effort toward Industrial and Com- mercial development in the Town. Much time was spent during the early part of the year in efforts, culminating in success, to bring the Walworth project into its final phases. During the latter part of the year we have been in constant touch with the developers of the proposed "SHOPPING CENTER" at the intersection of Granite Street and the new Route 128. This project has now arrived at the stage where concrete proposals as to the Town's participation will be made under appropriate articles at the Annual Town Meeting.
The Board will continue to give its attention to our municipal problems, great and small, that come to our attention. We invite any members of the public to call these matters to our attention less they be overlooked.

Town Clerk's Report
Town Clerk
CARL R. JOHNSON, JR.
To the Citizens of the Town of Braintree:
In conformity with Section I, Article V of the By-Laws, I submit herewith, a report of the operations of the Town Clerk's Office during the calendar year 1957.
As required by law, records have been maintained on all births, marriages and deaths of residents, and in the case of non-residents when the birth, marriage, or death occurred in Braintree.
In the past the method of recording these vital statistics was through the use of longhand. This required many hours of tedious work, and with the constant increase of population and demands on this office it became impossible to keep the records to date. Therefore a complete change in recording procedure was necessary. With the approval of the Secretary of State, the 1957 Vital Statistics have been recorded with the use of the typewriter, with satisfactory results.
All official business has been processed in accordance with our By-Laws and the General Laws. The town meeting records have been maintained and a copy enclosed in this report. My duties have been, performed in conformity with the General Laws, pertaining to the election process. Licenses have been issued when requested and records kept of same.
It has been requested that the Selectmen insert an article in the warrant for the Annual Town Meeting to see if the town will vote to erect a vault for the use of the Town Clerk. Under the present condi- tions it is impossible, as custodian of the town's records, to keep them in the manner prescribed by statute. It is firmly believed that the at- tention of the townspeople should be called to the existing conditions, insofar as storage of the permanent records is concerned.
It would not be fitting to end this report without expressing thanks to my loyal staff, our town officials, and the townspeople for the spirit of co-operation I have received throughout the year.
Respectfully submitted,
CARL R. JOHNSON, JR., Town Clerk
