BOARD OF SELECTMEN HARRISON T. SMILEY, Chairman


PAUL H. YOUNG, Clerk FRED A, TENNEY


The Board welcomed a new member last March in the person of Paul H. Young.


Regular meeting schedule on the first, second and fourth Monday's of each month, except July and August, has been maintained except for holidays and many special meetings have been held as and when required.


Acting with the other Boards involved the Select- men have participated in an unusual number of appoint- ments to fill vacancies during the current year. These have resulted in the appointment of-


Howard J. Rose to the Board of Water Commis- sioners


Herbert J. Albee to the Board of Sewer Commis- sioners


Ramon A. Nagle to the Board of Electric Light Com- missioners


Joseph H. Juster to the Board of Health. We congratulate the Town on obtaining the services of these men.


Highway traffic problems which have vexed us in recent years have been largely solved with the full open- ing of the Southeast Expressway, the opening of the new Route 128 to relieve Five Corners and the partial com- pletion to a usable state of the Union Street improve- ments.


Together with the whole South Shore we have, through appointed delegates, been active in efforts to provide some economical mass transportation for the suburban area. At year end a questionnaire was being sent out to test public sentiment on various questions presented.


We regret that investigation showed that it was not economically feasible to install a unified telephone serv- ice as proposed at the 1959 Town Meeting.


Near the end of the year, after careful investigation, several sales of Tax Title land have been made produc-


3


ing substantial revenue directly as well as the indirect benefit of restoring the land to taxation.


A new statue requiring a change in election proced- ures led to some confusion as to the compensation of Election Officers following the Presidential Election. After this one burdensom'e experiment we believe that the con- fusion has been eliminated.


All Town services responded promptly and efficiently in repairing damage and resuming normal operations af- ter HURRICANE DONNA. Although it created some drain on departmental budgets no emergency was de- clared.


The Board has worked in excellent cooperation with the Board of Health and the Special Committee for the purpose in an endeavor to obtain strong and efficient control of the DUMP to eliminate the many evils result- ing from a loose operation.


In addition to the above specific problems the rou- tine business of licensing, appointments and departmental control were carried on.
