THE TOWN CLERK
If he works hard, he is trying to curry favor; if he doesn't, he is lazy.
If he is young, he is incompetent; if he is old, he is a fossil.
If he carries out the law, he is cheeky; if he does not, he is weak-kneed.
If he goes to church, he is sanctimonious and holy, if he does not, he isn't respectable.
If he ceases to work at the appointed time, he is a clock-watcher; if he does not, he is seeking overtime.
If he asks for an increase in salary, he has no consideration for the taxpayers;
if he does not, he doesn't get it.
It seems to me that to be a successful Town Clerk one must be a middle aged archangel.
- Anonymous
"The Town Clerk shall record all votes passed at Town Meetings; he shall administer the oaths of office to all town officers; he shall transmit to the State Secretary a list of all town officers elected; he shall record and keep an index of instruments required by law to be filed with him." - Mass. Gen. Laws. Thus, the primary function of your Town Clerk is the compilation of statistics and data about our Town and its citizens.
Some of the documents received, recorded, indexed, and filed are records of births, deaths, and marriages; adoption decrees, chattel mortgages, tax liens, discharges, physician's certificates, etc. Other records received and filed are copies of Massachusetts statutes, Town By-Laws and rules and regulations, contracts, constable's bonds, town appointments, committees, town meeting member records, and election expense reports.
169
We issue various licenses: marriage, auctioneer, fish and game, dog, junk collectors, and shellfish. The Town Clerk is the custodian of the Town's books and records, street acceptances, jury list, surety bonds and insurance policies, maps, and town seal.
The administration of elections is another function of your Town Clerk. It involves the preparation and printing of the ballots, the supervision of election officials, the reporting of returns, and the certification of the officials elected.
Your Town Clerk derives considerable comfort from the fact that one can take a great deal of abuse, of neglect insofar as adequacy of remuneration is concerned, and of the slings . and arrows of outrageous political fortune, if one at heart is convinced that he is faithfully serving a useful purpose and is laboring for his fellow man. There is no greater reward than the satisfaction of a job well done.
