Report of the Selectmen
To the Citizens of Rutland :
The Board organized February 12, 1944 with Charles J. Campbell as Chairman, Frank J. Brooks as Clerk and Charles E. Taylor the third member.
The death of Mr. Campbell on August 19, 1944 was a distinct loss to the community and his passing will be felt for many years to come. He possessed a thorough knowledge of town affairs acquired by having held, at one time or another, nearly every town office, especially that of Selectman which he held for thirty-one years.
During the past year there have been many inquiries concerning the taking over of the sewer system from the Metropolitan District Water Supply Commission.
We have had conferences with representatives of the Commission and the local Sewer Commissioners in order to straighten out certain reported defects and to have the Town's limits designated on the Plans.
The last meeting was held on November 17, 1944 and at that time the Commission's representatives agreed to make the necessary repairs and to conduct tests on the lines. As soon as this is done the system will be accepted for the Town by the Selectmen.
We wish to thank those who comprise the local Rationing Board and the various panels for the many hours of efficient service given with- out compensation to that most important work.
The Selectmen, in behalf of the citizens of Rutland, wish to express their deepest sympathy to the families of the young men of the Town who have given their lives in the service of the Country.
