Safe Guarding of Public Records
Precautions towards the guarding of public records of the town were taken during the past year, upon the orders of the State Commissioner of Public Records, Mr. Henry E. Woods, who, while on a tour of inspection to this part of the state, noted existing conditions in Chelmsford that did not conform with State law relative to the safeguarding and protection of Public records; having condemned the safes at the Select- men's room, Town Clerk's residence, Town Treasurer's resi- dence, and ordered a new door for the vault at the Town Hall, also the inside of same to be equipped with non-combustible shelves and fittings. Upon request of the Board of Selectmen Commissioner Wood allowed this to be deferred until after the Annual Town Meeting, so that an appropriation might be made for the purpose. But regardless of what action is taken, the vault and safes must be renewed and equipped as stated above, or the town officials are liable to a penalty under the statutes of the commonwealth.
