The Inspector of Buildings is the sole enforcing officer (Section 9). Furthermore, Section 11 of the Ordinance provides, in part, as follows:


"B. When the Inspector of Buildings shall be informed or have reason to believe that any provision of this ordinance or that any permit, or decree thereunder has been, is being or is likely to be, violated, he shall make or cause an investigation to be made of the facts, including an investigation of the property involved, and, if he shall find any violation, he shall give immediate written notice to the owner or his duly authorized agent and to the occupant of the premises, and shall order that any violation shall immediately cease.


"C. If such violation continues or if any owner, agent, or occupant fails to obey any lawful order of the Inspector of Buildings with respect to any violation or any use contrary to the provisions of this ordinance, the Inspector of Buildings shall forthwith revoke any permit issued for the occupation of the premises, shall make complaint to the Superior Court, or any court of compe- tent jurisdiction, for an injunction or order restraining further use of the premises and shall take such other action as may be necessary to enforce the provisions of this ordinance."

ANNUAL REPORT


In view of the foregoing, the public should know that all complaints con- cerning alleged violations of the Ordinance should be made to the Inspector of Buildings.


In closing, the Board wishes to thank the former City Solicitor for his co-operation and able assistance during the past year.

ANNUAL REPORT


Report of Housing Authority


May 22, 1950


Mayor of the City of Attleboro and


Members of the Municipal Council Attleboro, Massachusetts


Gentlemen:


We submit the following annual report of the Attleboro Housing Au- thority for the calendar year 1949:


Twenty-four meetings were held during the year at which all members were present. Many conferences were held with City and State Officials and others with reference to the Chapter 372-1 Development of 31 single family units which were brought to habitable condition during the year, and the development of Chapter 200-1 project for 93 multiple family units now under construction.


Three demonstration houses built under the first project were open for inspection by the public on November 11, 1949. An impressive ceremony was held on the site of this day under the auspices of the Authority. Senator- Mayor Francis J. O'Neil, Mayor-elect Cyril K. Brennan, Chairman Frederick Roche of the State Housing Board, Members of the Attleboro Municipal Council, many other city officials, Samuel S. Eisenberg, the architect, A. F. Smiley, the general contractor, were all present. Many of these gentlemen addressed the crowd of several thousand who had gathered together to witness the ceremonies. The houses were kept open during the following week and it was estimated that in excess of 12,000 persons inspected them. We wish to acknowledge with thanks the assistance of the American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars, Am-Vets, the Spanish American War Veterans and their Auxiliaries for their assistance in connection with this opening.


Members of the Authority were in attendance in the Council Chambers during several evenings in October for the acceptance of applications for these houses. Many more applications were received than there were houses available. The selection of veterans was made on the basis of extreme need for housing. Several of the veterans moved in on December 1st and all houses were alloted to World War II Veterans by Dec. 31, 1949.


An unexpected problem presented itself in this development during the winter in that water appeared in the basements of several of the homes. Many conferences have been held on this subject between members of the Authority, the general contractor, members of the State Board and city officials. No final solution has been reached and on a temporary basis we have used pumps to clear the water out of the cellars which seems to come from underground springs.


Other than the foregoing and the grading of lawns and the final surfacing of the streets this section of our project is completed.


77


ANNUAL REPORT


During a considerable part of the year plans were being developed for the Chapter 200-1 project for 93 multiple family dwelling units now under construction at Hillcrest Oaks off South Avenue. The approval of the State Housing Board was received plans were put out for bids and were opened and read to the public on December 15, 1949. The City of Attleboro agreed to carry 50% of the cost of the perimeter streets and to make provisions for sewage lines to be brought to the project.


In view of the fact that this is our first Annual Report it is with much regret that we record the death of one of the original members of our Board, Mr. Theodore Leavens. We also regret to report that Mr. Charles C. Cain, Jr. found it necessary because of the pressure of his own business to submit his resignation. Both of these men were of much assistance to us during the early or planning stage of these two developments. The vacancies on the Board were filled by Mr. Leland B. Smith and Mr. Harold W. MacDonald.


In conclusion may we express our sincere appreciation to the ex-mayor and the present mayor, members of the City Council, and heads of the various departments for their cooperation, their advice and counsel. We have enjoyed a most cordial relationship with the various members of the press. Without the assistance of all of the foregoing our accomplishments to date would have been impossible.


Respectfully submitted,


John E. Turner, Chairman Leland B. Smith Leonard I. Lamb Harold W. MacDonald Edmund F. Henry
