TOWN OF NORWELL
REPORT OF THE SELECTMEN
To the Citizens of Norwell:
Another year has come to a close and the general financial picture for the year 1951 shows no improvement. The increased cost of living and the proposed further increase in withholdings and overall taxes should be a determining factor in the voted appropriations for the coming year.
Since the State Auditor's Report of the town accounts had not been received up to the final date of submitting copy to the printer, no report is contained in this issue but will be included in the report of 1951. When the report is received from the Commonwealth it will be available in the Selectmen's office for anyone who may care to read it.
The 1950 contract for Chapter 90 work on Grove Street has been satis- factorily completed with increased improvement to one of the main high- ways of the town.
In the passing of 'The Colonel' John D. R. Woodworth, M. D., a void has been left in the hearts of many of the townspeople to whom he gave unsparingly of his time and professional services both in a private capacity and as school physician, without remuneration, and Civil Defense work during the World War II emergency. His kindly manner will long be re- membered.
Once again it has been necessary to organize an active Civil Defense Unit and the Selectmen, on a directive from the Governor, appointed W. Clarke Atwater as Director, upon the resignation of Donald Porter who was unable to continue due to lack of time to devote to the task.
Following instructions to the Selectmen at the last Annual Town Meeting, Committees were appointed under Articles No. 13-22-32, covering the advisability of combined departmental equipment, designs for a War Memorial Plaque and Zoning. Reports or requests for continuance are contained herein.
The town lost another public spirited citizen in the death of W. Wall- ace Farrar who served for many years on the Advisory Board and as a member of the Washington Street Cemetery Committee.
Lester D. West, Custodian of the Cushing Memorial Town Hall since its dedication in 1936 retired on December 31, leaving the duties to the care of Harold Young, who replaced him. Well wishes to the new custo-

ONE HUNDRED-FIRST ANNUAL REPORT
dian and to Lester West "regrets" on the severance of a relationship of many years.
The Selectmen extend their sincere thanks and appreciation to the department heads and committees who served the town so well throughout the year. We welcome the opportunity to be of service on all problems concerning the town and meet as a Board on Friday evenings between the hours of 7 and 9 o'clock at the Town Offices.
A. LESTER SCOTT, Chairman RALPH H. COLEMAN JAMES A. LIDDELL
