Report of the Selectmen and Board of Public Welfare
To the Citizens of the Town of Mattapoisett :
In accordance with Section 49, Chapter 40 of the General Laws, your Board of Selectmen herewith sub- mit the following reports of the various departments and officers to this Board.
On March 10, 1953, the Board organized as fol- lows: Lester A. Crampton, Chairman, Board of Select- men and Public Welfare; George S. White, Clerk.
The List of Jurors is also incorporated in this re- port as required by Chapter 234, Section 4 of the Gen- eral Laws.
We also submit a report of a State Audit of Ac- counts of the Town of Mattapoisett for the period from December 14, 1952 to December 5, 1953 made in accordance with provisions of Chapter 44, General Laws.
On June 30, 1953 the Board of Selectmen met in conference with representatives of the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad Co. regarding the desir- ability and possibilities of the Town acquiring for use, as a public way, portions of the road bed. The Board personally feels that the Town should secure some sec- tions of this way for the use of the citizens of the Town.
A most fitting plaque in honor of the trustees and benefactors of Shipyard Park has been placed on one of the stone pillars on the Park expressing the Town's appreciation for this landmark.
12
The Allen H. Bowman Square, East Mattapoisett, State Highway, Route 6, was appropriately dedicated on Armistice Day in honor of one Mattapoisett boy who gave his life in World War II.
The Board of Selectmen wishes to extend to one and all the Board's thanks and appreciation for the help which was received in administering the Town's affairs for the interest of all.
