REPORT OF THE BOARD OF SELECTMEN


In March of 1964, the Board of Selectmen was organized with Austin C. Buchanan, Chairman; Edward R. Perry, Clerk, and Richard G. Con- nors, Third Member.


We brought the sanitary disposal problems of the Towns to the floor of the Annual Meeting of the Massachusetts Selectmen's Association for discussion of economical means of arriving at sanitary land fill without imposing a sudden financial burden in any given tax year. The Associ- ation agreed to appoint a committee of five members, one of which would be from the Medfield Board of Selectmen, to study this matter for possible future legislation.


Representative Wheeler met with the Board and the Chairman re- quested that the bill be re-introduced requiring spark arrestors on diesel locomotives for the purpose of reducing the forest fire hazard caused by locomotives.


The mix in place treatments on Hartford Street and North Street have resulted in restoring the surfaces for the heavy traffic. The gravel road program on Granite Street has resulted in 1950 feet of additional surfacing and 800 feet on Forest Street. We have also added two miles of roadway in 1964.


Funds will be requested this year to be used in conjunction with County and State funds for the continuation of the reconstruction and surfacing of Route 109 toward the Millis line. The resurfacing should be engineered and completed in 1965 from Brook Street through to Spring Street.


We have met with the members of the Planning Board, Board of Public Welfare and Library Trustees to fill vacancies on these respective Boards.


It has been our duty to sign the notes for the school bond issue for the new upper elementary school.


We wish to add our congratulations to the football team, Coach Keyes, and his staff for a tremendously successful year, and wish them continued success in their endeavors.

ANNUAL REPORT


1964


We have worked on the standardization of rules and regulations governing petitions and layout plans for public ways.


We have petitioned the County Commissioners for the relocation of Elm Street, and a hearing was held at the County Commissioners' Office on the relocation of Orchard Street.


We have appointed several committees to assist the Board in solving particular problems.


We have had several meetings with the Personnel Board, and the Board of Selectmen feel once plans are finalized, this By-law will be beneficial to the Town as well as its employees.


The ever increasing needs of the Town are resulting in a greater number of Special Town Meetings, an increased workload on the elected and appointed officials, and the Selectmen are continually reviewing the mechanics of Town Government for increased efficiency and possible savings to the Town.


We appreciate the continued cooperation of the various Town Depart- ments and 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 EDWARD R. PERRY RICHARD G. CONNORS
