ANNUAL REPORT
Report of the Selectmen
To the Citizens of Rutland :
We hereby submit the report of the activities of our Board for the year 1949.
The Board organized following the annual Town Meet- ing with Lloyd H. Campbell as Chairman, Donald M. Lincoln as Clerk and Frank J. Brooks as the third member.
Donald M. Lincoln was appointed by the Board as Veteran's Agent.
Improvements have been made in the street lighting system at a slight increase in cost to the Town. On part of Main Street and Maple Avenue 2500 lumen lights were in- stalled and new shades were put on some of the 1000 lumen lights. We believe that this change has been well worth while and we hope to be able to make more improvements in the future.
During the early part of last summer the Board com- municated with the Department of Public Works in Boston regarding the rebuilding of the road on Route 122A and we were assured by Commissioner Callahan that in addi- tion to the contract already partly completed in Jefferson we could expect a sizeable contract to be awarded in the early part of 1950 for further improvement on this road.
The 1949 session of the State Legislature passed the bill directing the Metropolitan District Commission to build a swimming pool for the town of Rutland at a cost of about $40,000. Preliminary plans are now in progress under the direction of Mr. Roy Kimball of the M.D.C., and the Park Commissioners and the Selectmen for the Town. We believe that construction will start on this in the early spring.
We wish at this time to publicly express our thanks and appreciation to Rep. George W. Dean for his untiring efforts on behalf of this bill as we believe he was directly responsible for its passage. We would like also to thank
18
TOWN OF RUTLAND
th townspeople who attended the Committee hearings on this bill.
The work of grading and seeding the Athletic Field has been mostly completed and the fence and backstop have been erected. We would like to thank Raymond Putnam, Frank Taylor and John McGann for their work on this committee.
On behalf of the young people of the Town we would like to thank Mr. Chester E. Williams for his generous financial offer, also material donations and the active interest that he has taken in this project. We sincerely hope that other people will take a similar interest and that the voters will give us an appropriation for equipment for the field this year.
The Board voted not to print their financial report this year as an economy measure as all the information is con- tained in the Town Accountant's report. We hope that this meets with the approval of the voters.
Respectfully submitted,
