BOARD OF SELECTMEN HARRISON T. SMILEY, Chairman
FRED A. TENNEY, Clerk CHESTER W. NELSON
The Board has not changed during the current year since Mr. Smiley has been re-elected to office.
Our meetings were held on the first, second and fourth Monday nights of each month, except July and August. We have held other meetings continually.
The main problems which have kept us busy are the numerous complaints that we had of the River Street Pedestrian Underpass. We have had meetings with the general public and the Department of Public Works. They are going to draw a new set of plans to see if the cost and construction of a road would be feasible.
The transportation problem has become enormous, especially the fifty-odd meetings we have attended with other towns, cities and the state. There is a general opin- ion that we would like some type of mass transporta- tion. A unanimous cry has been heard to keep the M. T. A. out of this district because of the large deficit that would be forced onto the town.
During the summer we had quite a traffic snarl at Five Corners. Most of this was alleviated when we sat down with our Police Chief and State Engineers. The decision was: Washington Street was to be one-way from Hancock Street to West Street, up West to Five Corners; Franklin Street, one-way to intersection of Washington, Hancock and Plain streets. Time involved was 4 to 7 P. M.
Union Street is to be widened this year to better our highway system.
Part of Liberty Street in the Highlands has been straightened and construction is almost finished from the Holbrook line to East Braintree.
In the category of normal business we have func- tioned as usual on routine matters, such as pole locations, and have had many requests for changes in traffic regu- lations. The Safety Department, within the Police De- partment has had constant contact with us.
All articles for the annual or special Town Meeting has to pass through the hands of the Selectmen, either for
3
acceptance or rejection. If an article is petitioned it has to be accepted.
As a licensing board, we have acted on many appli- cations during the year.
Hearing of general complaints by citizens request- ing relief on their particular problem and relaying these problems to the various departments to be acted upon is one of our many functions.
We have tried to give you a brief resume of our ac- tivities during the past year. We have tried to co-operate with all town departments. The reports of these depart- ments are in more detail in this, your annual report.

VITAL STATISTICS
As Braintree's population continues to increase, the problem of recording its vital statistics increases accordingly. What used to be just enough additional work to keep a clerk busy all year has developed into a project in itself. For example, in the year 1938 there were 249 births, 234 deaths and 186 marriages. Twenty one years later the one clerk is attempting to include in her year's work almost 700 births, over 300 deaths and 300 marriages. The situation at the present time demands that consideration be given to the employment of an additional clerk to keep pace with the work load. A similar situation exists in the Registration Department, a function of town government that is effected directly by any increase in population.
I am, therefore, calling this matter to the attention of the finance committee and submitting to them a proposal that a Clerk Typist be added to the staff of the Town Clerk's Office. An additional typist would in my opinion be able to handle the recording needs of both departments and eliminate the need for extra clerical appropriations.
In keeping with the responsibilities imposed upon me it is my duty to strongly recommend this action.
