In 1941 the Board of Assessors in conjunction with a committee of reputable Attleboro contractors made a survey of all buildings in the City. This was done in order to place a fair and equitable value on all buildings. Standard methods were used. Comparisons and locations were carefully studied in order to de- termine such value and while some valuations may be somewhat higher than heretofore, nevertheless all persons will be paying on a proportionate basis in accordance with the sound value of their properties.


We again would respectfully call attention to the fact that there is still a necessity for more land plats in order to bring our records up to a higher standard


The Assessors in their recent surveys have discovered that many buildings have been erected without the owners having made any application to the proper authority for a building permit. We would suggest that some method be devised whereby every new building or alteration on any building, be checked to deter- mine if the proper permit has been secured. This would tend to discourage the practice which has been followed by many individuals and would inure to the benefit of the City. If these construction activities are inadvertently overlooked, assessments will not be placed thereon resulting in some "tax free" properties in our midst.

ANNUAL REPORT


Report of the Planning Board


To His Honor the Mayor and the Honorable Municipal Council,


Gentlemen:


The Planning Board herewith submits its annual report for the fiscal year of 1941.


Twenty-two meetings have been held and many informal conferences have taken place during this year. The continuation of the work in preparation for zoning so finely started last year, was the major job for this board. We were much gratified that the preparatory work was completed, the necessary hearing held and the zoning ordinance committed to the Council during this fiscal year. The final action necessary to make zoning a reality in this City is a Council Hearing and the acceptance by that body of the Zoning Ordinance. Of the personnel actually doing the work of zoning we wish to record that Mr. J. T. C. Waram continued his work of last year, completing same on June 30, and Miss Boudreau completed her work on June 9. Mr. Angus J. MacNeil, our consultant, is still acting in advisory capacity. We are greatful for the fine work done by this group.


It should be stated with considerable emphasis that the work in zoning has made available to the City valuable information and records which should be further expanded, such as population studies, exceptionally valuable for school, fire and police expansion, also localized cost data studies useful in determining the economic value of expansion of the sewer, water and highway system. A mis- placed school, fire or police station could be avoided by such studies and the economics of the possible expenditure of a large sum of money for some improve- ment in a certain location could be wisely determined. It will also be of much help to the Board of Assessors.


For the routine work of the Board three plats were submitted for approval. namely "Green Acres" off Holden Street; "Clairwood Heights", between North Avenue and Commonwealth Avenue at the North Attleboro line; and the "Fisher Plat" on Thacher Street. The first mentioned plat was approved after the necessary hearing; for "Clairwood Heights", the hearing has been held and the approval will be undoubtedly given early in 1942. The "Fisher Plat" was presented for our study and was not complete as to necessary required detail, of which the petitioner was advised.


Two requests from the City Council for study and reports on permits were received for which investigations were made and the recommendation forwarded. The first permit was for a waiver of the zoning ordinance and the second was the application for a second-class license to purchase, sell, etc., second-hand motor vehicles at a certain location.


For record some statistics are hereby given:


Plats Submitted


"Green Acres," hearing August 21, 1941; approved August 21, 1941


"Fisher Plat", no action


"Clairwood Heights", hearing December 11, 1941


Zoning


Hearing advertised November 29, 1941; hearing held December 10, 1941. Zoning Ordinance committed to Council December 12, 1941, for meeting held December 16, 1941.


Some of the other activities of the Board were the attendance of some of the membership and our Mayor and City Solicitor at the Annual Fall Conference of


31


ANNUAL REPORT


the State Federation of Planning Boards at Hotel Kenmore, Boston, and attend- ance at a Seekonk Town Meeting when zoning for that town was presented for approval.


During war times we all know that actual development of needed improve- ment must be curtailed, but the period does provide time for serious study of such developments.


We are very much in accord with the six-year plan now being given con- sideration by the special committee appointed for that purpose and aided and sponsored by the Federal Agency known as the "Federal Works Reserve." Our earnest cooperation with this work can be assured.


The actual development of Riverbank Road on the river side of the new Willett School does point out the extension of this road to County Street, and the extension of Sanford Street across the river joining this road. It would seem that such a development would give much relief to downtown traffic congestion.


The demolition of the so-called Wilmarth Shop on County Street suggests the idea that the proposed Riverbank Road might be further extended across County Street, through the Wilmarth property, crossing the river, and over the Briggs property to South Main Street. This system would certainly furnish a by-pass around the center for much traffic that now is obliged to pass through the center.


We are pleased to note that an aerial map of the City has been made possible by the Mayor and the Assessing Department, thus providing the necessary basic maps for the completion of the Assessor's Maps which we recommended last year.


Recommendations :


We again strongly urge, and have since 1918, the consideration of a new street in the rear of the Post Office. Traffic congestion at this location becomes more and more acute as the years pass.


We recommend building lines be established on Bank Street, from Park to the railroad right-of-way; on Park Street, from Pleasant Street to Morey on the north side; and on Sanford Street, from Bank to North Main Street.


We strongly urge that a thorough study be made of the traffic situation at the junction of Park, County, North Main and South Main Streets. It is a very serious problem at the present time.


We would recommend that a survey be made of the amount of Tax Title Land, Treasurer's Deed Land and other areas of City owned property for its adaptability for reforestration. The acreage of this land amounts to aconsiderable area and it would seem good business to reclaim it by reforestration.


An approximate estiate of this area is as follows:


Tax Title Land .


866 Acres


Land, Treasurer's Deed. 278 Acres

ANNUAL REPORT


Report of the Police Department


January 8, 1942. Gentlemen:


To His Honor the Mayor, and the Municipal Council,


I hereby respectfully submit the annual report of the Police Department, of the City of Attleboro, Massachusetts, for the year ending December 31, 1941.


Crime Conditions


There were four crimes of major importance committed in Attleboro in 1941. In three of these crimes, the offenders have been apprehended, leaving one case stil! open but under investigation.


There were numerous cases of petty larceny committed by juveniles, and, in some of these cases, the offenders were brought before the juvenile court.


The department has investigated numerous cases of neglected children and domestic family troubles; and, with the cooperation of Miss Olive Mackinnon of the M. S. P. C. C. have been successful in adjusting some of these cases without court action.


Station


The police station as a whole is in very good condition. There are a few minor repairs that should be made in the shower room.


This year, five cells were fixed up to make them as safe as possible for the occupants.


Traffic


This report will show a large increase in Motor Vehicle accidents over the previous year, due to the fact that all accidents were listed, both property damage and personal injury.


There were no fatal accidents for the year 1941, and there have been no fatal accidents in Attleboro for a total of 409 days, ending December 31, 1941.


Automotive Equipment and Communications


At the present time, the Department has two Ford Tudor 95 H. P. auto- mobiles, made especially for law enforcement agencies, and equipped with radio, which were purchased in 1941.


We are equipped with two-way radio now, with the station transmitter working and one car equipped with a mobile set. When this system is installed in all cars, we will have four cars complete with two-way communication.


We also have one 1939 Ford 85 H. P. Tudor sedan equipped with radio, one Ford Patrol Wagon purchased in 1934. one Mercury Tudor sedan purchased in 1941 also equipped with radio.


There are three Indian Chief motorcycles which were purchased in 1940.


Some of this equipment should be replaced, if possible, in 1942.


33


ANNUAL REPORT


Recommendations


I recommend that the personnel of the Department be increased by five regular patrolmen, and that all regular patrolmen be put on a yearly salary basis of pay, with one day off in six.


I also recommend that favorable action be taken on our petition for an in- crease in pay.


In Conclusion


I now wish to express my gratitude to Mayor John W. McIntyre and members of the Municipal Council for interest and consideration shown to this Depart- ment; also to Judge Ralph C. Estes and his associates of the Fourth District Court, to the members of the press, and to all who have been willing to cooperate with the Department.


Respectfully submitted,


Ernest W. Holt, Chief of Police.
