SELECTMEN'S REPORT
We submit, herewith, the reports of the various depart- ments of the Town for the year ending December 31, 1943; also a report of the action taken on all articles submitted to the voters at the regular and special town meetings.
Shortly after the annual town meeting, the Boston & Maine Railroad stated that they wished to replace a steel girder in the South Acton railroad bridge. This necessitated that the bridge planking be removed and replaced with new material after the steel work was completed. It cost the town approximately $800 to do this.
-15-
During the year, a new cement apron was installed along the east side of the town hall. A coal chute was placed in the foundation wall and a cement floor was laid in a part of the cellar. New overhead doors have been in- stalled at the South Acton fire station and we recommend new doors be installed at the Acton Center fire house this coming year.
After filing a number of applications and making sev- eral personal calls for the new ladder truck, which was voted on at the annual town meeting in 1941, a release was finally granted and the new ladder truck was delivered to the Town of Acton and put into service on September 11, 1943. We feel that this piece of apparatus completes the requirements for the fire protection of the town.
Due to the fact that no money was allotted to the town for new road construction, a regular program of mainten- ance was followed.
The Board of Selectmen was asked to serve on a Roll of Honor committee along with six other citizens of the town. Necessary plans and details were arranged and on November 28, the Roll of Honor was presented to the town by Mr. Her- bert Leusher and accepted by Chairman of the Selectmen, George A. Morse.
In the middle of December, Chairman Morse asked for a leave of absence, as he had entered the Armed Forces of his country. The board regretted to have him leave, but he did what he thought was his duty. Since it was so close to the end of the year, the two remaining members decided to carry on until the annual election.
The board wishes, at this time, to express its apprecia- tion to all town officers and committees for their co-opera- tion in carrying out the duties of their respective offices dur- ing the past year.
ARTHUR W. LEE, GEORGE S. BRAMAN, Selectmen of Acton.
