To the Honorable Board of Selectmen: Gentlemen:
In the past year I have written many opinions and given much assistance to the various town officials and boards. I have also disposed of several claims for personal injuries incurred because of defective sidewalks or highways. There are at present nine (9) land damage suits pending against the town because of land takings in the reconstruction of Dilla Street, ten (10) personal injury or prop- erty damage claims and two (2) petitions for abatement of real estate taxes before the Appellate Tax Board of the Commonwealth.
I consider most of the above claims minor in nature and I believe that most of them can be settled if the claimants are reason- able in their demands. If not I recommend that each case be tried before a jury.
Last year I also caused three suits to be brought for the collec- tion of unpaid real estate taxes. One of these suits was tried in the Superior Court in Worcester.
In accordance with your directions I have completed the recodification of the By-Laws of the town but have not gone ahead with printing them because of the pending action on the plumbing regulations. I felt that the by-law pamphlet would be incomplete without the plumbing regulations and I consider them important enough for inclusion.
I recommend that the town undertake to recodify the zoning regulations and that someone be retained to bring our zoning map up to date.
In conclusion I wish to thank all those town officials and citizens who assisted me in carrying out the functions of the office of Town Counsel.
Respectfully submitted, ANTHONY A. COMPAGNONE,
Town Counsel
