SELECTMEN'S REPORT
To the Townspeople:
The reports contained in this book are from the several de- partments devoted to Town Government. We hope that citi- zens find them interesting and informative.
It is our belief that this has been a stimulating year for Southbridge. The number of persons voting in the elections has indicated a strong interest in government. Admittedly, at- tendance at local Town Meetings has remained negligible and, for this reason, our Board has approved and encouraged dis-
18
cussion and study of this problem. We shall continue to focus interest on this vital matter of town meeting representation.
We are asked so often about the duties of Selectmen that we felt this might be a good place to enumerate some of them, as follows: Prepare warrants for all special and annual town meetings, elections; negotiate with Federal, State and County officials in cooperative programs (roads, waterways, dams, etc.); hold the many hearings necessary in regard to street and side- walk land-takings, lights and telephone pole installations, li- quor license transfers, ordinance violations, departmental meetings, and innumerable others. Handle negotiations for street lighting; garbage collection; insurance on town build- ings - equipment - vehicles - town personnel. Select jur- ors; name election officials; appoint many town committee members and officials. Submit for bidders such varied items as obsolete equipment, road materials, construction contracts, new vehicles, fuel oil, town reports, uniforms, office furniture. Issue licenses for all liquor establishments, restaurants, taxi owners and taxi drivers, auto dealers, innholders, lodging houses, mechanical amusement devices, and others. Our week- ly meetings are busy ones with individuals or groups appearing for a variety of reasons. The newspapers and radio cover these meetings quite thoroughly so that they are well detailed to the public.
The foregoing is only a sketch of the functions and re- sponsibilities of Selectmen, but we trust that it will give the reader a general idea of this particular office.
We take this opportunity to thank the various Commit- tees, Boards, Department Heads and Employees who have served the town well in this year 1962.
