The following recommendations of the Finance Com- mittee pertain to the Articles considered at the Town Meet- ing of December 16, 1953.
Articles 1 thru 6.
Inasmuch as there is no present provision for the cost of finishing these streets being assessed against the owners, the Finance Committee does not favor the acceptance of these articles unless the abutting owners assume their pro- portionate share of the entire cost, including surfacing, of laying out the roadway in accordance with the requirements of Articles 11 and 12 of the town by-laws.
Article 7.
The Finance Committee favors the immediate adoption of suitable zoning by-laws in the interest of orderly future development of the town.
Article 8.
In view of the delay of the construction of the Blan-
chard Auditorium, it is not expected that these services will be required during the first two or three months of 1954. Therefore, the Finance Committee considers it unnecessary to appropriate any money under the article at the present time.
Article 9.
The Finance Committee has not had sufficient time to make a favorable recommendation on this article. The com- mittee believes this subject should be considered at the an- nual town meeting in March.
Article 10.
The Finance Committee favors this article.
Article 11.
The Finance Committee favors this article.

SELECTMEN'S REPORT
To the Citizens of the Town of Acton, we hereby sub- mit reports of the several departments under the supervision of the Board of Selectmen.
During the year 1953, we held 52 regular meetings and 9 special meetings.
Warrants with articles were prepared during the year for one annual town meeting and seven special town meetings.
Numerous meetings were held with the Department of Public Works, Department of Public Safety, Division of Accounts and County Commissioners regarding matters of interest to the Town.
During the year, the exterior of the West Acton Fire Station and the interior of the South Acton Fire Station were painted.
We are placing articles in the Town Warrant for the purchase of an additional cruiser for the Police Department ; radios for the Fire Department; pump for the Forest Fire truck; tractor-loader for the Highway Department; and heating system for the South Acton Fire Station. We are also including in the Police Department budget sufficient money to include two additional regular patrolmen. We are recommending this due to additional work and to take care of the numerous complaints which the present force is not able to take care of. We are also recommending the purchase of the several pieces of equipment mentioned above to in- crease the efficiency of the several departments.
The matter of the agreement between the Town and the Nagog Regional School District concerning the use of the Blanchard Auditorium by the District gave rise to some misunderstanding on the part of the citizens of Acton.
68
On May 25th, a special town meeting authorized and directed the Selectmen to lease or license the building to the District. Shortly thereafter the District submitted to the Board a lease by the terms of which the District, to all intents and purposes, would have become the owner of the building and grounds, leaving the Town in the position of a stranger to the building which had been primarily intended for the civic benefit of Acton citizens, with special emphasis upon the Acton school children. The Blanchards' generous gift had been made upon those terms and the Town had accepted that gift and had made substantial additional ap- propriations with those conditions in mind. When this draft lease was submitted, Acton was committed to build a struc- ture which would cost at the very least $300,000. By the terms of the proposal, which was suggested to run for 99 years at $1.00 per year, the Town was asked to give away this memorial to one of the substantial families of the town for a period far beyond the life expectancy of most living men.
This proposal did not appeal to your Board as some- thing desirable for those persons who are presently living or for those to come after. The Board was also advised that the Town could not legally divest itself of this public build- ing. A counter proposal, wherein the Town offered to per- mit the District to use the building during all necessary school hours but reserving the ownership and control to the Town, was then submitted to the District. Some considerable time elapsed during which the District could not bring itself to accept these terms. Finally the District insisted that it could not accept this proposal until the Town had voted to place the control of this building in a committee composed of the Acton members of the Nagog Regional School Dis- trict Committee. This provision, so far as the Selectmen were concerned, had from the start been satisfactory. When a special Acton Town Meeting authorized the control be removed from the hands of the Board of Selectmen and be vested in its special committee, the contract was signed and is now in effect.
ยท 69
On the completion of twelve, eleven and ten years of consecutive service, the Board of Selectmen has enjoyed the prompt and active co-operation of the various Town Officials, Boards. Committees and Departments and we wish to ex- press our thanks and appreciation to all of them. The Citi- zens, as well, have been most co-operative in our relations with them and we extend to them our sincere appreciation for their assistance.
Respectfully submitted,
-

Recommendations :
Additional Patrolmen :
With the rapid growth of our town and the large in- crease in the number of motor vehicles registered, it must be clear to the average citizen that there is dire need for more police protection. There are at the present time two regular patrolmen and the Chief. The Chief is on duty 60 hours per week and the patrolmen 54 hours. There are 20 1/3 square miles in the town to be policed and about 75 miles of roads to be patrolled. With the population now over 4000 and steadily soaring it figures much less than one officer per each 1000 persons.
The duties of the Chief are varied. In addition to records that must be kept, correspondence taken care of, accident reports checked, advising those who have problems and listening to complaints, the Chief also has investigations to make and is prosecuting Officer for the town on all cases brought into court for trial by this Department. Cases brought to court for trial must be prepared and with these varied duties much time must be spent in the office.
When the Chief, who is on duty alone during the day, has to go to court for summonses, warrants, or on trials, or to the hospital, or out of town on investigations, there is no officer on duty or cruiser available in an emergency. Know- ing these facts, there remains no question as to the need of additional patrolmen.
If but one officer is added it will be necessary to fill in on days off and for vacations with a part time officer, but if two full time patrolmen are added the cost of the part time officer for four days a week plus time for vacations could be elimi- nated and the patrolmen could be rotated to fill in on days off and on vacations. The difference then in the cost to the town for a part time officer and a second full time patrolman would be only about $800.00 The latter plan would seem to me to be most practical. Therefore, I recommend that two additional patrolmen be added to the Department this year.
79
Cruiser :
It has been the policy of the town to trade the cruiser for a new car each year. However, I recommend that this year we keep the present cruiser and purchase another cruiser for the Department. I also recommend that our pro- ject of installing Speed Zone Signs be discontinued for this year and that the $1000.00 which would have been spent for these signs be used toward the purchase price of a cruiser. We should then plan to trade one car each year.
Under the present plans for the reorganization of our District Court System the Concord Court, where our cases are now heard, is to be discontinued and we will have to travel either to Ayer or Waltham. If it should happen to be Ayer it will mean a trip to the Concord Lockup in cases of arrests and the transporting of the prisoner back through Acton to the court. This, of course, will mean that your police will be out of town a longer period of time when at- tending court.
Bicycle Registrations :
As the town grows so does the hazard caused by children riding on bicycles. Many parents allow their children to ride after dark on unlighted bicycles. I recommend that if additional personnel is added to the Department that $75.00 be included in the budget for the cost of registering all bi- cycles in the town. The cost of registration is 25c which is paid to the town. The registration of bicycles will compel the owners to have them equipped with light and reflectors.
In closing, I wish to thank all the officers of this depart- ment who co-operated with me in carrying out the duties of the Police Department during the past year. I also wish to express my thanks to the Board of Selectmen for their co- operation and to Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Rimbach for their assistance in relaying calls to us, and to the personnel of the Concord Police Department for their co-operation and radio service. To all others who in any way assisted us, we are grateful.
