20 REPORT OF SELECTMEN


To the Citizens of Rutland:


The Board of Selectmen organized for the year 1951 with Frank J. Brooks, Chairman, Lloyd H. Campbell, Clerk, and Donald M. Lincoln, the third member.


The municipal swimming pool was placed in operation this year and furnished an appreciated adjunct to the recreational center previously constructed. With the removal of the present town garage, further facilities will be possible.


We wish to thank the Park Commissioners for the great deal of time which they gave without compensation in constructing the bath house and preparing the pool for public use.


The Public Works garage, construction of which was authorized by the town in 1951, is nearly completed and will be ready for use early in 1952. This building will house the equipment of the High- way and Water Departments.


The Chapter 90 improvement. of Pleasantdale Road will be com- pleted in 1952 and will provide a more direct route for travel to Spencer .


We recommend a project to eliminate the dangerous condition existing on Maple Avenue near the intersection with Main Street. The street should be graded so as to afford better parking facili- ties in the area of the various stores and post office.


We also recommend a small increase in the street lighting appropriation in order to extend the improved lighting on Main Street easterly toward Pound Hill.


In cooperation with the Chief of Police, a study is being made of speed conditions on the new Main Street State highway and we believe that some sort of control by patrol or lights will be provided.


Respectfully submitted,


FRANK J. BROOKS LLOYD H. CAMPBELL DONALD M. LINCOLN
