SELECTMEN'S REPORT
We submit, herewith, the reports of the various departments of the Town for the year ending December 31, 1945, after the actions under the different articles voted at the last Annual Town Meeting.
The Public Works and County Commissioners notified us that funds will be available for new construction under Chapter 90; the Town appropriates one-fourth, the County one-fourth, and the State one-half. This is the first money since 1941 that has been alloted by the State and County for new work. We recommend that the Town resume the rebuilding of North Main Street from the Carlisle line to the Great Road, "Route #2."
The repairs have been made on the Roller and it should be serviceable for a few more years. Some equipment voted under Special Articles have been ordered and accepted but have not been delivered as yet, on account of the slow up of reconversion.
The building purchased for the Highway Department have been reroofed and doors installed to house the equipment. The sum of $2012.46 was turned over to the Town Treasurer by the Stockholders of the Acton Agricultural Holding Company. Bids were posted for the painting of the West Action Fire House as no bids were received this project will be up for consideration at the next Annual Town Meeting.
Under Chapter 690 on January 1, 1946, the care, control and maintenance of every public highway bridge with a clear span of not less than 20 feet, located on a through route was trans- ferred to the State Department of Public Works and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the Highway Fund; one bridge on route 62 and two bridges on route 27 "The Railroad bridge and the Stone arch bridge at Faulkner Mills, South Acton" were the three bridges transferred to the Department of Public Works.
The Board wishes, at this time, to express its appreciation to all town officers and committees for their support and co-opera- tion in carrying out the duties of their respective offices during the past year.
