Report of Board of Selectmen
The Selectmen respectfully submit the following re- port for the year 1943:
The Board organized with George B. Cheney as Chairman and Daniel W. O'Connor as Secretary.
The Board has attended to the several matters of Highway work and repairs voted at the last annual town meeting, insofar as it was able to procure road materials.
A total of 9.3 miles of streets and highways were oiled, using 26,252 gallons of road oil.
The following appointments were made: Ernest E. Hobson, Town Counsel; Harriette Paine, Bookkeeper; Ralph Canning, Burial Agent; George S. Gay, Animal Inspector; Jeremiah Lamery, Supt. of Streets; Robert L. McDonald, Clerk of Highway matters; Ananie Brouillette, Forest Fire Warden; Albert Boissy, Sealer of Weights and Measures.
The past year has seen a very large number of our citizens enter the armed services of the United States. Our Honor Roll Committee has done an outstanding job in the procuring of the names for, and the erection of, Honor Rolls in each village of the town. To this com- mittee, in behalf of the Townspeople, we extend our appreciation for their fine work.
We wish to thank publicly all committees, groups, and organizations for the services they are rendering their town and country during the trying times we are in due to war conditions.
Respectfully submitted, GEORGE B. CHENEY DANIEL W. O'CONNOR PETER J. WARAKOMSKI
