REPORT OF THE FINANCE COMMITTEE


The Finance Committee organized for the year with George M. Campbell as Chairman and Roger L. Culver as Clerk. During the year the committee was saddened by the unexpected death of Mr. Culver and we want to extend our sympathy to the members of his family and our appreciation for the many years of devoted service which he gave to this committee and the town.


Rollins L. Hale was appointed to fill the vacancy on the committee and Abramo L. Mufatti was elected clerk for the balance of the year.


Meetings and conferences were held during the year to discuss in detail budget requests of the various departments and committees and we extend to them our appreciation for their cooperation and assistance.


The total 1962 departmental budget to be raised from 1962 tax levy (Not including action to be taken on Town Warrant Articles) is $407,992.47 an increase of approximately $2000.00 above that of 1961. The largest increase was in the Wachusett Regional School budget amounting to $3260.00. Several departments presented the same budgets as last year, and some others showed a decrease over 1961.


The following transfers from the Reserve Fund to the various 1961 accounts were authorized by this committee;

REPORT OF SELECTMEN


To the Citizens of Rutland:


The Board of Selectmen submit herein the reports of Officers, Committees and Departments of the Town for the year 1961.


The Selectmen organized as follows:


Lloyd H. Campbell, Chairman James L. Wood, Clerk Frank J. Brooks, Member


The board met on every other Monday evening.


The Board of Selectmen were saddened by the untimely death of Roger L. Culver, Secretary to the Board for the past several years. We wish to express our sympathy to the members of his family.


Mr. Culver was active in town affairs for many years, serving also as clerk of the Finance Committee, and formerly as Town Accountant. He conducted the elections for the town. His deep interest in the welfare of this town will be greatly missed.


Town Property:


The exterior of the Community Hall was painted and the eaves troughs replaced. A contract was let to replace the foundation plantings, which had grown to be unmanageable and interfered with the painting of the building.


This year the first inventory of major town equipment and its location was compiled. This will be done annually.


The addition to the Fire House for hose drying equipment, and for housing the auxiliary generators obtained through Civil Defense, was started and will be completed early in 1962.


The Selectmen have provided funds in the budget to purchase a new oil burner for the Community Hall to replace the original one installed in 1938. Also, the Board plans to provide some protection against the weather over the east entrance.


29


Highways:


Chapter 90 Construction funds this year may be used to either continue work on Wachusett Street, or may be used on Maple Avenue to correct the drainage problem below the Veterans Hospital gate. The road oiling program will be continued.


A new truck and plow were put into operation. An article has been placed in the 1962 warrant to purchase another sand spreader.


Twenty Norway maples were set out on Maple Avenue, Forest Hill Drive, Inwood Road and Highland Park Road. The warrant contains an article to continue this program, and if accepted, the Selectmen welcome suggestions for the location of trees on public roads.


In July, the Town accepted the zoning regulations set up by the Planning Board and special Zoning Committee, by a vote of 212 for and 41 against. These regulations are now awaiting final approval.


Group Insurance for Town employees was effected this year.


In conclusion, it is recommended that street numbering be undertaken and completed in 1962. This action will be a necessary step before house delivery of mail can be requested. Also the Selectmen will investigate the possibility of taking necessary steps to eliminate the town caucus, and welcomes any comments on this matter. We also plan to renew the policy of having several meetings of all town officials to discuss mutual problems, in order to more effectively plan for the future of Rutland.


We wish to express our appreciation to all Town Officers, Boards, and Committees for their cooperation during the year.


Respectfully submitted,


Lloyd H. Campbell, Chairman James L. Wood, Clerk Frank J. Brooks
