The Assessors still maintain an excellent record in keeping the cases before the Board of Tax Appeals to a minimum -- three-all of which have been disposed of. There was, however, one case involving one of our largest taxpayers, where it was necessary to deal with an application for a very large abatement which would have seriously affected, had it been granted, our total valuation. This was disposed of after an extended course of negotiations by a settlement which did not too seriously affect the rights of the town and preserved the greater part of the valuation involved.


The Town Counsel is still involved in negotiations with the United States Attorney's office in efforts to ward off threat of suit by the Fed- eral government on alleged irregularities in the expenditure of W.P.A funds, a matter which has been referred to on several occasions on the floor of the Town Meeting. It appears that suit will probably be brought on this claim but will be vigorously defended on behalf of the Town.


.


Apart from the matters reported above, the operations of the depart- ment have carried on the regular activities with the full cooperation of the departments for and with whom I have worked.


Respectfully submitted,


RICHARD A. HUNT

REPORT OF THE COLLECTOR OF TAXES


To the Citizens of the Town of Braintree:


Through your splendid cooperation, December 31, 1941, ended the most successful tax collection year for some time. The following com- parative statement of collections reflects the reduction in all tax delinquen- cies :

Revenue from · Motor Vehicles Excise Taxes increased from $53,309.93 in 1940 to $66,248 00 in 1941. The rationing of automobiles and tires will reduce this amount considerably for 1942.


While we face extremely high Federal taxes over the next few years, your cooperation in taking advantage of a partial payment plan to dis- charge your local taxes will permit us to maintain our present favorable credit rating.


I thank you for past favors and hope for continued pleasant relations.


Respectfully submitted,


GEORGE H. GERRIOR, JR. Collector of Taxes

Annual Report


OF THE


Planning Board


OF THE


Town of Braintree


FROM DECEMBER 31, 1940 to DECEMBER 31, 1941


REPORT OF THE PLANNING BOARD


To the Citizens of Braintree:


TOWN PLANNING


During the past year, the Planning Board was fortunate in securing the services of a graduate student in the City Planning course at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Mr. Antonio C. Kayanan, why prepared for us as part of our program for a Master Plan the following maps :


1. POPULATION, a spot map showing densities.


2. WATER SUPPLY, showing sizes of mains and locations of all hydrants.


3. SCHOOL, showing locations, capacities, present enrollments and areas served.


4. TRANSPORTATION, showing location of all present main highways, bus routes and railroads.


5. LAND USE, showing by colors the various uses of all the land in the town.


With the exception of the Land Use Map, which is mounted and framed under glass, the maps are on transparent vellum so that they may be readily reproduced or superimposed upon other maps for study purposes. These maps are now on file in the Town Engineers' office.


TRAFFIC


The Planning Board has continued to press for action to be taken by the Commonwealth to alleviate the traffic congestion in Weymouth Landing. Through the co-operation of Rrepresentative Palmer, House Bill 1181, a resolve, was enacted by the Legislature which is as follows: "Resolved, that the Division of Metropolitan Planning is hereby author- ized and directed to investigate the advisability and feasibility of the laying out and construction of a highway or highways in Braintree and Wey- mouth as a by-pass of Weymouth Landing. Said Division shall make the preliminary plans and estimates necessary to determine said ad- viseability and feasibility and shall report the results of its investigations and recommendations, if any, together with drafts of legislation to carry its recommendations into effect, by filing the same with the Clerk of the House on or before the first Wednesday in December of Nineteen Hundred and Forty-two."


This action is a necessary prelude to any appropriation made by the state for this purpose and much as we regret the necessary delay we will continue in our efforts to see this very serious condition is relieved.


ZONING


In the warrant for the 1941 Annual Town Meeting there were four articles having to do with five propsed amendments to the Zoning By-Law. As required by statutes the Planning Board held a duly advertised public hearing and then made a report with recommendations to the Town Meeting.


188


The Town Meeting voted to follow the Planning Board recom- mendations on all five. The substance of these proposed amendments and the disposition of them may be found elsewhere in this Town Re- port under the minutes of the Town Meeting. The Planning Board report and recommendations were read at Town Meeting and are now on file with the Town Clerk.


ACKNOWLEDGMENT


The Planning Board wishes to take this opportunity to thank its ex-officio member Mr. John J. Drinkwater, Jr., Town Engineer, for the splendid co-operation which he has extended at all times. He has very kindly permitted the Board to enjoy the facilities of his office in the Town Hall and has been helpful in other ways.


INVITATION


As in former years the Board desires to extend an invitation to all interested citizens to offer suggestions concerning desirable and needed improvements in our town to any of its membrs.


Respectfully submitted,


EDWARD J. ROSE, Chairman


FRANK L. HEANEY, Secretary


HOWARD J. WILLIAMS

Annual Report


OF THE


Electric Light Department

Town of Braintree


FROM DECEMBER 31, 1940 to DECEMBER 31, 1941


TO THE CITIZENS OF THE TOWN OF BRAINTREE


YOUR COMMISSIONERS SUBMIT THE ANNUAL REPORT OF THE BRAINTREE ELECTRIC LIGHT DEPARTMENT FOR THE YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 1941.


NORTON P. POTTER


FRANK P. LORD SHELLEY A. NEAL Commissioners


To the Municipal Light Board


Norton P. Potter, Chairman


Frank P. Lord, Secretary


Shelley A. Neal, Third Member


Gentlemen:


Herewith is submitted the annual report of the Electric Light Depart- ment for the year ending December 31, 1941.


The installation of a new 7,500 K.W. Generator and auxiliary equip- ment was completed the first of the year and has been operating since March 21st of this year.


The kilowatt hours generated for the year were 27,260,000, an increase of 2,864,000.


The amount of K.W. Hs. purchased decreased 310,128.


The kilowatt hour sales increased 2,356,118 and revenue increased $25,735.74.


The maximum load on the system was 6,500 K.W. an increase of 400 K.W. and the maximum was 98,000 K.W.


There has been considerable activity in new housing developments which in turn required new line extensions and increased capacity for dis- tribution; but, owing to regulation of O.P.M. this will have to be curtailed unless priorities for material are made available.


The defense effort will probably reduce and check new expansion in regard to new ranges and appliances that require alteration in existing services.


During the year, we installed 235 new services.


I wish to express my appreciation to the Commissioners, Town Of- ficials, Customers and Employees for their co-operation for the past year.


Following is presented the essential points showing the financial and operating conditions as prepared in accordance with the annual report to the Department of Public Utilities.


Very truly yours, ERNEST T. FULTON,


Manager
