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 submits the following reports of the various departments and officers to this Board.
On March 15, 1955, the Board organized as follows: Lester A. Crampton, Chairman, Board of Selectmen and Board of Public Welfare; George S. White, Clerk.
The List of Jurors is also incorporated in this report as re- quired by Chapter 234, Section 4 of the General Laws, and Section 343, Acts of 1949.
We also submit a report of a State Audit of Accounts of the Town of Mattapoisett for the period from November 28, 1954 to December 3, 1955 made in accordance with provisions of Chapter 44, General Laws.
The Year 1955 will be remembered as a Year of Recon- struction, reconstruction of the public facilities destroyed by the fury of the hurricane of the prior year. In this matter the Town was aided, in no small measure, by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts through the Hurricane Relief Board and the Division of Waterways of the Department of Public Works. Sincere thanks are hereby extended to that small group of citizens who are square followers whose contribution was used to good purpose on Shipyard Park.
As the plans were being developed for the replacement of the buildings it was found that not enough funds had been
12
authorized to complete the rebuilding therefore the Board decided to request additional appropriations to finish the Fisherman's Building and to construct anew the Cabana which had been lost at the Bathing Beach.
The Board of Selectmen feels that the Year of 1956 to come should be a year of decisive advancement. Many worthy projects, which will be of benefit to the citizens of Mattapoisett, are in- cluded in the warrant of the Town Meeting for 1956. The Board of Selectmen are desirous of settling the problem of the Rubbish Disposal Area. This question has been with the Town for the past ten years.
Over the horizon of Time, Mattapoisett finds the Anniversary Year of 1957 fast approaching when appropriate doings and events will celebrate the 100th year of the incorporation of the Town of Mattapoisett, having been separated from the mother Town of Rochester on May 20, 1857. It is hoped that the former beauty of the Town will be restored by the time Old Home Week rolls around.
The Board of Selectmen wishes to extend to one and all of the Boards its thanks and appreciation for the help which was received in administering the Town Affairs for the interest of all. It wishes also to extend its thanks and appreciation to those citizens, civic and church organizations for any assistance which they might have rendered the Town during the past year.
Respectfully submitted, LESTER A. CRAMPTON MANUEL C. LINHARES GEORGE S. WHITE
