Litigation and Claims


Various claims for personal injuries and property damage were made against the Town arising out of alleged defective conditions in public ways concerning which opinions as to liability on the part of the Town were given and recommendations were made as to disposition of claims.


Selectmen


Because the Town does not carry public liability insurance, all such claims are referred to Town Counsel for investigation and settlement with


173


REPORT OF THE DOG OFFICER


approval of the Board of Selectmen; and, if settlement cannot be made, then the case is tried in court by Town Counsel.


A number of these cases were on behalf of the Department of Public Welfare and thousands of dollars were recovered, a large part of which came back to the Town treasury.


Without listing all the cases handled, suffice it to say that cases by and against the Town have been brought to a current status with little or no "backlog," so called.


Conclusion


I am grateful for the privilege of having served the Town as legal counsel. During my period of service, I have been constantly aware of the great responsibilities attendant upon this position in a growing com- munity such as ours. The uniform spirit of co-operation and friendliness extended to me by Town boards, committees, officials and friends through- out this past year has greatly aided me in the performance of my duties and I shall be ever mindful of their loyalty and friendship.


Respectfully submitted,

REPORT OF TOWN ENGINEER


Mr. Walter A. Blasenak General Manager Norwood, Massachusetts


Dear Sir:


I hereby submit my report as Town Engineer for the year of 1963.


During the year of 1963, all proposed construction work undertaken by the Engineering Department was completed on schedule. As in previous years, the larger portion of the work was done by contract after com- petitive public bid.


The construction work consisting of preliminary surveys, cost esti- mates, contract specification and plan preparation, layout, inspection, and supervision during construction, and estimates for payment, was handled by the Engineering Department.


In addition, because of necessary time limits imposed by weather and the immediate need for the facilities, two sewer projects, a water main project and a playground job were given to private engineering; work also to be done by contract.


The present complement of Town Engineer, assistant Town Engineer and five men of varying engineering grades (from Grade I through Grade IV) has put out a substantial amount of engineering work in 1963. As always, the salaries must be high enough to attract and keep capable, trained, qualified men in municipal work. With the present engineering force, it is hoped to complete at least as much work as last year.


Projects and works handled in part or in full by the Engineering Department are summarized as follows:
