REPORT OF THE BOARD OF SELECTMEN
In March of 1963, the Board of Selectmen was organized with Austin C. Buchanan, Chairman, Edward R. Perry, Clerk, and Joseph L. Marcionette, Third Member.
With respect to the issuance of earth removal permits, we have had a number of discussions with Atlantic Brick Company, their attor- ney, Town Counsel and the abutters interested in the problem of establishing a grade, and reducing the depth of the pit at the corner of Bridge Street and West Street. The profile of the proposed County relocation of West Street will help to provide the solution to this problem.
It has been our duty under the conflict of interest law to classify all municipal employees. We feel our decisions were in the best inter- ests of the Town.
The Development and Industrial Commission has been revitalized, and their number increased.
We have made a study of the parking regulations in the business district and are considering establishing additional time zones. We would like to take this opportunity to point out to the townspeople that consideration must be given to improving municipal parking in the central business district.
We are now insured under a Public Institution Policy with respect to fire insurance, and this has resulted in a substantial saving of premium to the Town.
Hearings have been held with the County Commissioners consider- ing the relocation of Hospital Road, Harding Street, West Street, Bridge Street, and West Mill Street.
The resurfacing of Main Street from Pound Street to Brook Street has been completed and we anticipate resurfacing Main Street through to Spring Street in 1964. The Highway Department again deserves to be commended for a job well done on this project as well as main- tenance of our roadways.
The backhoe attachment for the older front end loader was pur- chased this year and has been a tremendous asset.
We have added 2.66 miles of roadway in 1963, making a total of 49 miles of public ways in the Town.
The Town will have approximately 3,000 feet of new roadway approaching the new bridge and location at the Medfield-Sherborn line. This is presently under construction and will be completed late
140
next summer. Its completion will provide greater convenience and safety for all who use Route 27. The construction of the bridge and the approaches is being built with Federal and State funds
In order to fill vacancies on the Board of Assessors, School Board and Park Commission, we voted with the remaining members of the various boards involved to elect qualified persons to fill these vacancies.
We appreciate the continued cooperation of the various town de- partments and find the inter-departmental relations to be of great value to the well-being of the Town.
We also wish to express our appreciation to all who have generously contributed their time and effort to the general welfare of the Town of Medfield.
Respectfully submitted, AUSTIN C. BUCHANAN, Chairman EDWARD R. PERRY, Clerk JOSEPH L. MARCIONETTE
