REPORT OF SELECTMEN
To the Citizens of Rutland:
The Board of Selectmen organized for 1955 with Frank J. Brooks, Chairman; James L. Wood, Clerk; and Lloyd H. Campbell, the third member.
Regular meetings were held every two weeks on Monday evenings .
This year the Fire Department purchased a two-way radio. The Highway Department replaced one of its trucks with a new four-wheel drive Ford. At the annual town meeting permission will be requested to purchase a new power grader.
On August 18 and 19 the area was deluged with rains, caused by a hurricane. As a result of these heavy rains, nearly $10,000 damage was done to the roads in Rutland, which changed and slowed down plans of the Highway Department. The State-owned dam at White Hall Pond washed away as a result of the floods.
The Chapter 90 construction on Pommogussett Road will be completed early in 1956, and a new project on Wachusett Street will be started.
This year, because of new requirements, questionaires will be sent out for Jury lists.
The Building Code Committee reported at a special town meeting in September. They recommended acceptance of the Code. Action was postponed for hearings and further study to January 20, 1956.
The Selectmen wish to thank this committee, and all appointees and committees, who have worked with us in the ser- vice of the town.
Respectfully submitted,
Frank J. Brooks James L. Wood Lloyd H. Campbell Selectmen
