REPORT OF THE BOARD OF ASSESSORS 1949
We deeply regret the passing away of our member, Willard C. Hunting on December 21, 1949.
Mr. Hunting was appointed assessor in 1938 and served continuously until his death.
Before becoming an assessor, he served several years as a selectman, and was a former member of the park department and board of public welfare.
In his earlier days, Mr. Hunting was an excellent baseball player and did much for the young people in organizing and supervising their activities.
The assessors have worked on re-valuations continuously since October 1st, and have covered practically every section of the town.
We have met several times during the past year with the advisory committee, and we wish to thank them for their time and suggestions. It is helpful to meet with the citizens of the various sections of the town, and to have them express their feeling regarding valuations.
Statistics for the year ending December 31, 1949
