Report of Park Commissioners
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen
and Citizens of Milford :
We hereby submit our annual report for 1957 with fi- nancial report appended.
We take this opportunity of thanking Madame Draper Boncompagni, in behalf of the townspeople for her gener- ous gift to the Town for the care of Draper Park.
Calzone Park was landscaped and graded repairing the damage still there from 1955 flood.
The Playgrounds had another successful season under the supervision of Mr. Benjamin F. Consoletti ending with their annual Field Day and picnic.
We wish to thank all the various departments for their help and cooperation throughout the year.
Respectfully submitted,
PETER S. FARESE, ANGELO FERRARIO, ROBERT CATUSI

Town Counsel's Report
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen : Gentlemen :
In accordance with Article 3, Section 5, of the By- Laws of the Town of Milford, I have performed the duties of the office of Town Counsel "by giving legal advice to the various town officials and town boards on such ques- tions connected with their duties as may by said officials and boards be referred to (me)."
In addition to these duties I have disposed of 7 per- sonal injury and 2 property damage claims, 2 Planning Board suits, all of which were turned over to me by my predecessor. There are at present 6 claims against the town - 3 for personal injuries and 3 for property damage. Four of these are entered as suits in the Superior Court at Worcester.
During my term of office I have appeared, at your
172
request, before the Public Utilities Commission to oppose an increase in the water rates. I have also brought suit on behalf of the town for collection of unpaid real estate taxes, performed searches of real estate titles and many other legal chores for officials and boards. In accomplish- ing this I have had to travel to Boston and Worcester on many occasions. Also in the performance of my duties I have had to be in regular attendance at the Selectmen's meetings.
I could not in good conscience close this report by fail- ing to recommend that sufficient funds be raised in the coming Town Meeting to revise and recodify the By-Laws and Regulations of all the Town Boards including the By- Laws of the Zoning Board and the Zoning Map. These are all vital documents dealing with the rules governing the awarding of contracts by town officials, town meeting regulations, traffic, Sewer and Health regulations and the ones relating to all real estate in this town. In some cases these regulations have not been brought up to date for as much as 17 years and are sadly in need of re-codification. In other cases appropriate revisions should be drafted in order to satisfy present day requirements.
Respectfully submitted,
ANTHONY N. COMPAGNONE Town Counsel
