Treasurer's Report
Receipts and payments for the year were as follows:
Balance, January 1, 1940
$ 31935.78
Receipts 1010543.39
$1042479.17 981148.66
Payments
Balance, December 31, 1940
$61330.51
Included in these figures is $205000., borrowed in anticipation of taxes and repaid in the fall. This was $50000. less than last year. The discount rate was again the lowest on record, ranging from .06% to .10%.
Disbursements, in accordance with 108 selectmen's warrants were 11/2% more than in 1939. The number of checks issued was 15390-an increase of some 500.
Summarized statements of the 782 cemetery perpetual care funds and 14 other trust funds in the custody of the treasurer, amounting to $113618.45, will be found elsewhere in the town report.
Three tax title accounts amount to $1317.90. In addition to those redeemed, one was taken through the Land Court and turned over to the selectmen.
As the Retirement Board makes a detailed report, such an accounting as has previously been made in this connection has been omitted, although all these funds continue to pass through this office.

Report of Planning Board
Various matters concerning Town planning have been con- sidered by this Board during the year. We investigated various proposed sites for waste disposal and in conjunction with the Selectmen we have approved a location, the acquisition of which is now in progress.
The question of automobile parking in the business area is one that presents many difficulties. It is hoped that with the coopera- tion of other Town officials and the merchants, some betterment can be effected during the coming year.
The Board further conducted a public hearing on a petition to extend the business area as defined by the Zoning By-Law north- erly along the easterly side of North Main Street. A separate report as to the action of this Board on this petition has been made to the Town Meeting.
Plans showing new private developments have been carefully considered by this Board from the viewpoint of future benefit to the Town.
Respectfully yours, WALTER M. LAMONT, Chairman WALTER C. TOMLINSON, Secretary EDWARD P. HALL SIDNEY P. WHITE HERBERT LEWIS
Final report of Planning Board upon proposed amendment to Zoning By-Law as requested by Foster C. Barnard and others
A public hearing, after due notice given, was held upon the proposed amendment at the Town Hall Friday, February 7, 1941, at 7 P.M., and after said hearing at a meeting of this Board, at which a quorum was present and voting, it was
VOTED: That the Board approves and recommends the adop- tion of the article filed by Foster C. Barnard and others which would amend the Zoning By-Law by extending northerly the business district on the easterly side of North Main Street from the present termination thereof, about opposite the southerly line of Lewis Street, so as to include in said business district the
158
following land with the buildings thereon owned by the Trustees under the will of Jacob W. Barnard, to wit:
A certain tract of land, with the buildings thereon, situ- ated on the easterly side of North Main Street and bounded southerly ninety two feet more or less by the present busi- ness district; easterly two hundred seventy one feet more or less by an embankment wall at the westerly bound of land now or formerly of Henry W. Barnard, of land now or formerly of Daniel and Mary Hart, of land now or formerly of one McCarthy, and of land now or formerly of one Barrett; northerly seventy feet more or less by land now or formerly of one Kydd, and ninety-eight feet more or less by land now or formerly of one Crowley; westerly two hundred ninety nine feet more or less by North Main Street.
The Board reports therefore that it has considered all factors pertaining to such proposed change and approves and recom- mends the adoption of said article.
