TOWN OF WAKEFIELD


Receipts from these and other licenses granted during the year 1953 by the Board are shown in the Town Accountant's report.


Reports of the various departments under the jurisdiction of the Board of Selectmen will be found under other headings in the report.


The Board inaugurated the plan of having all department heads submit monthly reports of departmental activities which has kept the Board well informed of departmental operations.


The Board also issued a report to the Item of each month's activi- ties.


The Town by-laws were amended to improve traffic on many of the streets in Town. The major project was the establishing of one-way traffic on several of the streets in the center of the Town. Further study and revisions of the traffic rules will be made to cope with the great increase in traffic the past five years.


The Board has had inventories prepared by all the departments in Town so that figures on insurance coverage could be revised to proper level. Insurance coverage has been brought up to date through the Hartshorne Insurance Agency.


The Board voted not to grant any more permits for stringing signs or banners across Main Street.


Proper recognition was given Chief John G. Gates for thirty-five years of efficient and unselfish service to the Town as patrolman, lieu- tenant and Chief of Police.


The Board voted to adopt the following plan for participation in the Town's insurance: "That each applicant for participation in the Town's insurance distribution must be a resident of the Town of Wake- field, maintaining an established general insurance office in a business zoned district of the Town of Wakefield, said office having been in the general insurance business for at least one year, and that the applicant must be a policy writing agent." This rule was made effective June 16, 1953.


Two tag days were held in Wakefield to raise funds for "Worcester Relief." A remarkable total of $1,154.20 was raised.


Capt. Robert McDonald of the Fire Department agreed to assume the responsibilities of "Captain in charge" of the Department until such time as the Board appoints a chief.


The Board went on record as unanimously approving the placing of the Fire Department personnel under civil service. It was also voted to lay the matter of appointing a chief on the table until after the Town had voted on the Civil Service issue.


At a joint meeting of the Board and the School Committee, Mr. Richard Volpe was elected to the School Committee to succeed Mr. Michael F. Collins, resigned.


Patrolmen Kenneth R. Collins, William R. Connors, and Murray C. Airhart were sent to the Massachusetts Police Training School at Fram- ingham for 30 days training.

142ND ANNUAL REPORT


The Board is assuming the feasibility of the Town acquiring title to land now owned by the Northern Products Company near the entrance to the Wake-sau Reservation.


The bounds between Wakefield and Reading were perambulated December 5.


The Board approved the plan to have female traffic supervisors appointed to supervise traffic before and after school sessions in the ele- mentary grades.


The Board conferred with the Hartshorne Insurance Agency to pro- vide fire insurance for nine additional hazards including windstorm, hail, explosion, riot, riot attending strikes, civil commotion, aircraft damage, motor vehicle and smoke damage. The town voted at a Spe- cial Town Meeting to purchase this extended coverage upon the recom- mendation of the Board.


The Board expresses pride in the accomplishments of the depart- ments under its jurisdiction and congratulates the heads of departments and personnel for a job well done.


The Board is very appreciative of the co-operation received from the various Boards in Town and of the Finance Committee. They also wish to thank the many organizations in town that have invited them to participate in their special gatherings.

Selectmen of Wakefield


Report of the Town Clerk


The official population of the Town of Wakefield now is 19,633, ac- cording to the Federal Census of 1950. The next census, the State Cen- sus, will be taken in 1955.


Without doubt, the two most important events, municipally, are: first, the annual election of town officers; second, the annual town meeting, at which the money is appropriated to provide for the func- tioning of the various departments for the ensuing year, and to meet obligations, such as interest on bonded indebtedness, State charges, etc. Then, of course, follows an accounting of how the money has been spent.


Briefly, the Annual Town Election was held on March 2, 1953, and the following officers were elected:


The Annual Town Meeting sessions began Monday, March 9, 1953, and were concluded on March 23, 1953.


Total appropriations at the Annual Meeting were $2,359,076.57.


Principal highlight, probably, was a vote to submit to the voters

TOWN OF WAKEFIELD


at the next Annual Town Election a question to accept or reject an act to constitute in Wakefield the so-called "Limited" (Representative) form of town meeting.


RENT CONTROL OUT


On June 22nd, a special town meeting was held, called by the Se- lectmen, and an article to accept the provisions of Chapter 434 of the year 1953, said act being entitled "An Act Relative to Rent Control," was voted, on recommendation of the Finance Committee, not to be accepted.


COLONEL EDWARD J. CONNELLY RECREATION AREA


At the same meeting, under Article 9, the Town voted to adopt a resolution to designate, officially, the section of the Town-owned land between the Quannapowitt Parkway and Lowell Street and Lake Quan- napowitt as Colonel Edward J. Connelly Recreation Area, in recognition of the outstanding service rendered by Colonel Connelly, as captain of our local Co. A, R.L.G., who left Wakefield in 1917, and for valiant service as commander of Co. G, 104th Infantry in France, and for which he was decorated by the French Government, and for further service in World War II, and for his previous service in Co. A of Wake- field in the Spanish-American War.


SPECIAL TOWN MEETING - AUGUST 19, 1953


The Board of Selectmen having refused to call another special town meeting to reconsider action to continue rent control in Wakefield, a petition signed by one hundred registered voters (the legal requirement to call such a meeting) was presented to Justice of the Peace Charles F. Young, who called a special meeting for August 19, 1953.


On the recommendation of the Finance Committee, and on motion presented by the Finance Committee, it was voted to indefinitely post- pone action on Article 1, which would have continued rent control for another six months.


NOVEMBER 30, 1953


Principal action at a special town meeting called for November 30, 1953, was to accept Article 1, to adopt a by-law providing a "Salary and Job Classification Plan." The plan was adopted.


Revision of the Building By-Laws, and the addition of five mem- bers to the committee to study the preservation of the Town's water supply were other features of the November 30th meeting.


During the year of 1953, licenses were granted, or records recorded, in the Town Clerk's office as follows:


493 Birth Certificates


236 Marriage Certificates


206 Death Certificates


1307 Dog Licenses 626 Chattel Mortgages 776 Sporting Licenses


Total receipts for the year were $8,545.81, an increase of $452.09 over the previous year, and an increase of $2,070.07 over the receipts of five

142ND ANNUAL REPORT


years ago which were $6,575.74. The receipts in this office virtually pay for all expenses, thus costing the taxpayer no money. Salaries in this office have not been increased proportionately with the increased cost of living.


The Town Clerk is appreciative of the co-operation extended by various town departments, especially the School Department, and to Rev. Frederick G. Deasey, pastor of Saint Joseph's Parish, in connec- tion with reservations for sessions of the Board of Registers, at times when sessions of the Registers are held in the various precincts for the registration of new voters.

CHARLES F. YOUNG, Town Clerk


Report of Board of Assessors


January 6, 1954


To the Citizens of the Town of Wakefield :


We herewith submit the Annual Report of the Assessors Depart- ment for the year ending December 31, 1953 :


During the year 1953, as in the past seven years, your Assessors have been in the midst of a great building and development era and have strived to cope with the natural increase in work load due to this growth. We have been able to do this only with the indulgence of the townspeople and the cooperation of other departments.


Our system of writing the valuation books and bills has been con- stantly improved upon since the installation of the Burroughs Account- ing machine in 1949 and this machine is what has kept our department from falling behind in our annual commitments.


The Auto Excise Commitments have more than doubled in number since 1943 and the tax income from this source of revenue now accounts for reducing the Tax Rate by about six dollars.


Though our assessed valuation has increased by nearly eight million dollars in ten years the costs of Town Government, Schools, Streets, Sewer Extensions, etc., has likewise increased and our tax rate continues to climb to pay for the Town Government voted for at our Town Meetings.


Our assessed valuation must increase by about $600,000.00 to reduce the tax rate one dollar and this would need to be done with no added cost to the town, such as schools, streets, sewers, street lights, pole lines, water mains, etc.

Report of Town Planning Board


To the Citizens of Wakefield:


The Town Planning Board submits the following report of some of its activities during the year ending December 31, 1953.


The Board held a public hearing on March 12, 1953, on the four zon- ing articles in the 1953 Town Meeting Warrant. The voters of Wake- field at Town Meeting followed the Board's recommendations, which in- cluded the ratification of the Zoning Map as amended and corrected to December 15, 1952.


Among the problems about which the Board has consulted with various persons during the year, those concerning the land north of route #128 were the most numerous and important. These included a study of the school population and tax situation in the part adjoining Reading, the best method of handling zoning, the forming of a commit- tee to attract desirable industry or business to the area, consultation with representatives of industries already interested there, and the earth removal and dump proposition.


Other problems which were studied included the need of a by-law to control trailer residences in Wakefield, and rezoning at the request of several businesses and residents, on which action will be taken at the 1954 annual Town Meeting.


The resignation on November 19 of Arthur E. Harding was accepted by the Board with deep regret. Mr. Harding had served on the Town Planning Board with sincere interest and great ability since 1944, and was its chairman from 1947 through 1952.
