REPORT OF THE BOARD OF SELECTMEN - 1954
With the election of Mr. Frank S. Tarr at the Town Meeting in March, the Board of Selectmen organized by electing Mr. John W. Leavitt as Chairman, and Mr. Frank S. Tarr as Clerk. Mr. Roger P. Stokey was reappointed as Town Counsel and Mr. Edward N. Perry was reappointed as Secretary to the Board. The regular appointments, as required by statute, have been made, and these appear in the list of Town Officers and Committees.
During 1954 the Board held all its regular meetings, many special meetings, plus many public hearings. The Board issued 176 licenses during the year, and received over $9,000.00 from this source. These funds have been turned over to the Town Treasurer.
The following were drawn during the year to serve as jurors:
John J. Hickey Robert J. Kent
Lewis A. Bourette
Richard W. Foster
William Elkerton
Alden C. Spate
Mrs. Kathleen W. Fleiger
Theodore L. Stoddard
After bids were publicly accepted and opened by the Board of Health with the Board of Selectmen, Mr. C. O. Baker was awarded the Garbage Contract for the year.
In January of 1954, the Board, together with the Trustees of the Allen Fund, and the Board of Public Welfare, met and disbursed the income earned by the Charitable Funds.
The report of the annual audit by the Department of Corporations and Taxation is on file at the Town Hall.
The Town during the year suffered extensive damage from both hurricanes. At the time of the writing of this report, application has been made to the Commonwealth for qualified reimbursement for funds expended.
Public hearings have been held on several betterments for streets and recommendations will be forthcoming at the Annual Town Meeting.
The Board of Selectmen with the Board of Health has held several condemnation hearings during the year and have made their decisions accordingly.
Because of the tremendous growth of the town and the added increase in the volume of business transacted in the Town Hall, it became evident that additional space would be needed for the efficient operation of our Town Offices. At the Special Town Meeting funds were appro- priated for the plans and specifications for this new Town Office Building.
As the Town grows, naturally the number of voters will grow, therefore, it appears probable that additional voting facilities will become necessary in the very near future.
The Board of Selectmen have requested an article for the Annual Town Meeting to appoint a committee to recommend a procedure for the preparation and printing of our Town Report.
Mr. John F. Pelletier was appointed as a Patrolman of the Wayland Police Department during the year. After considerable deliberation, it
41
was decided that our Patrolmen could qualify as a member of our Police Force by attending a State Police School at the Framingham Barracks, Framingham, Massachusetts.
During 1954 the Town lost one of its leading citizens and the Chair- man of the Board of Assessors, Mr. Charles Mathews. Mr. William S. Lewis was appointed to fill the unexpired term.
The Board feels that action should be taken very soon to provide parking facilities in the Legion Hall area. It is our feeling that the area behind the new Fire Station Building in Cochituate could be cleared and used as a municipal parking area.
The Board of Selectmen wish to thank Mrs. Dorothy Harrington for the efficient discharge of her duties as Town Accountant for the past several years. It was with deep regret that her resignation was accepted. On November 15, 1954 Mr. Norman Taylor was appointed to fill the vacancy.
The Selectmen wish to thank the Town officials and employees for their splendid cooperation during the past year. We would also like to thank all committees for their efforts on behalf of the Town during the year.
JOHN W. LEAVITT FRANK S. TARR GERALD HENDERSON Board of Selectmen.
