SELECTMEN'S REPORT
We hereby submit reports of the several departments under the supervision of the Board of Selectmen.
During the year 1947, the Board has held 52 regular meetings, 8 special meetings, besides attending association meetings and making special trips to the State House regard- ing town matters.
The petition for automatic half gates and flashing lights. which was filed with the Dept. of Public Utilities in 1946, has been granted and these new gates have now been installed at Parker Crossing and at Hapgood Crossing.
The hydrant, for which a petition had been filed by property owners, with the Board of Selectmen, to be installed at Holland's corner on the Concord water main, has been completed.
The new highway truck, for which the town voted an appropriation in 1946, was delivered to the town in April, 1947. This truck is working out very satisfactorily, and we believe it warrants the expenditure.
During the year, an officer, as recommended by the Chief in his report of 1946, was added to the force. This has enabled the work to be divided between the two officers. We have authorized the hiring of an officer for two days a week in order to give the Chief and his assistant a day off in seven.
We wish to call to the attention of the voters of the town, the fact that the majority of our call firemen attended a training course for one night per week for ten weeks in modern fire fighting methods and of handling modern fire equipment. This course was conducted at no expense to the town. We wish at this time to personally thank these men for giving their time for the betterment of protection of life and property in the Town of Acton.
Article 21. The Board recommends the replacement of our present cruising car. As the cruiser now travels about
21
1000 miles a week and will be two years old next August, we believe it will be economy for the town to trade it in.
Article 28. The Board recommends the purchase of a shovel loader and attachments for the Highway Department. This may be used for road work as well as for the removal of snow. This, we believe, is the most economical way of removing snow, as well as loading sand and gravel for road work.
During the year, much work was done on improving Jones Memorial Field, the major project being the building of a new back-stop. Much of the material used in this back- stop and the two player benches were given to the town by public spirited citizens and the Board wishes at this time to thank them for their generosity, also all citizens who generously gave of their time to improve this field. During the summer and fall, this was used constantly, afternoons and evenings, by the townspeople. We hope to further im- prove this field during the coming season by adding fill and drains.
The Board wishes, at this time, to express its apprecia- tion to all town officers and committees for their support and cooperation in carrying out the duties of their respective offices during the past year.

Acton War Record Committee Report
At the annual town meeting held on Monday, the twelfth day of March 1945, it was voted under Article 27; as follows :
To instruct the Moderator to appoint a committee of five to be known as the Acton War Record Committee, whose duty it shall be to compile a permarent record of all men and women of Acton in the military service of the United States or of any of its Allies in the present World War. This com- mittee to have full power of filling vacancies or enlarging the membership of the committee and that such moneys for the use of the committee as the Selectmen deem necessary from time to time be made available to the committee by the Selectmen or the Finance Committee from any funds within their control. This committee to report at the next annual town meeting. The Moderator appointed the following com- mittee, Ralph P. Marble, Herbert L. Leusher, Theron A. Low- den, Prentice W. Blood, and Mrs. Marjorie J. Davis.
The committee met and organized very soon thereafter with, Ralph P. Marble as Chairman, Mrs. Marjorie J. Davis as Secretary and Theron A. Lowden as Director. Mr. Herbert L. Leusher's resignation was accepted with regret and Dewey E. Bratman elected to fill the vacancy. It was also felt that
24
inasmuch as the Town Clerk is the custodian of most Town records and therefore would naturally have some interest in these records that he should be a member of this committee, Harlan E. Tuttle was elected to the committee.
During 1945 we managed to get a few supplies enabling us to start in recording discharges and doing elementary work but that was all until the Town Meeting of 1946.
At the town meeting held on March 11, 1946, it was voted: To continue the work of the Acton War Record Committee and that the sum of One Thousand (1000) Dollars be raised and appropriated for this committee.
Since that town meeting we were still unable to get the necessary supplies to properly carry on this work as thoroughly and completely as we would like to have, but kept on recording discharges and laying the ground work for the time when they did arrive. Up to the end of the 1946 year there has been recorded 225 discharges and there has been given to the Veteran 147 copies, notarized and in proper form for him to use in any of many uses that are necessary.
During December we managed to get most of the supplies to carry on this work as is now required by statute and hope to have everything in proper order to do the type of a service we feel is essential to the well being of the Veteran.
Ralph P. Marble, Chairman Theron A. Lowden, Director
Voted : That the report of the War Record Committee be accepted.
