SELECTMEN'S REPORT
All regular appointments have been made as required by law. They appear in the list of Town Officers and Committees.
At the request of the United States Commission, the Daughters of the American Revolution and the Chas. H. Alward Post No. 133 of the American Legion and its Auxiliary were appointed a Committee to arrange the local observance of the celebration of the Two Hundredth Anniversary of the birth of George Washington.
In accordance with the Provision of Chapter 44, General Laws, an audit by the Department of Corporations and Taxa- tion was made of all town accounts. The report of the State Director of Accounts is printed in full in the Town Report.
The junction of Old Connecticut Path and West Plain Street has been improved and made safe. We accepted the gift of a strip of land at this corner from Messrs. George and Frank Arancio. A railing was erected and the telephone and telegraph poles removed from the travelled way.
A 11/2 ton International truck with underbody hoist was purchased for $1,000.00 after bids were received from dealers of standard made motor vehicles.
The sum of $12000.00 was appropriated at the last Town Meeting for the relocation and reconstruction of part of Cochit- uate Road with the understanding that the State and County would contribute like amounts. In behalf of the Town, bids were advertised for by the State Department of Public Works and contract awarded to the W. & L. Engineering Company under Chapter 90, General Laws. This project was completed under the direction of the Engineers of the Department We found it necessary to constantly protect the interests of the Town against the unbusinesslike methods of the contractor and sub- contractors. Several conferences were held with the Depart- ment of Public Works protesting against the apparent discrimi- nation shown in the employment of labor. The bond of the
72
Standard Surety Company for the sum of $32,600.00 has not been released, thus protecting the Town from claims for non- payment of wages and materials.
In accordance with Chapter No. 8, Board of Health Regu- lations, the Town Counsel prosecuted Anthony M. Lux and Louis Dean for non-observance of local regulations.
The addition to the pumping station has been completed. The contract to erect this addition was awarded to the lowest bidder, Cornelius J. Maguire, for the sum of $1880.00.
The sidewalks on West Plain Street, Commonwealth and Concord Roads were constructed under the direction of the Surveyor of Highways.
At the request of the Governor, Hon. Joseph B. Ely, and after careful consideration, an unemployment Committee was appointed to study and suggest methods to assist those out of work.
A 12 inch water-main was laid from Five Paths to Legion Square employing only Town labor. The work was completed within the amount appropriated.
Necessary repairs have been made in the Town House.
Realizing that many Cities and Towns are at present unable to borrow in anticipation of revenue, we urge prompt payment of taxes in order that the credit of the Town of Wayland may not be impaired. With the wages and income of many of our citizens reduced, with probably more unemployed than a year ago and realizing the responsibilities of the Town to those in need of assistance, we hope that careful consideration will be given to appropriations to be made at the next Town Meeting. We do not believe in reducing necessary appropriations ; how- ever, it should be remembered that reasonable expenditures will insure a moderate tax rate.
J. FRED WHEELER, JOHN W. LEAVITT, WILLARD C. HUNTING, Selectmen of the Town of Wayland.
