REPORT OF THE BOARD OF SELECTMEN.
The Board of Selectmen submit the following report on matters coming under their jurisdiction, together with such recommenda- tions as they deem for the best interests of the Town.
ORGANIZATION OF THE BOARD FOR 1916.
At the annual March meeting of 1916 Mr. Willis P. Howard, whose one-year term expired, was re-elected for the term of three years and was sworn to the faithful performance of his duties by the Town Clerk.
The Board met in the Selectmen's Office on Monday evening. March 6, 1916, and organized with Thomas J. Donnelly as Chairman and Thomas J. Robinson as Clerk.
For the general information of the citizens, particularly our new citizens, it may be well to outline in a general way the duties of the Board. These duties are almost entirely of a statutory nature and are such as would be expected in an executive board. They include supervision and control of the Police Department, Fire Department, Insurance, Public Lands and Buildings, Sol- diers' Relief, State Aid, Military Aid and Gypsy Moth Work. The Board also act as Overseers of the Poor, issue licenses of all kinds and perform all other duties coming under the Executive Board of the Town and not specifically provided for by Statute Law.
As members of the Joint Board they act with the Board of Public Works on all matters pertaining to the approval of Plans for New Streets, the Laying Out of New Streets, the Installation of Perma- nent Sidewalks, Street Lights, Franchises to Public Service Corporations, Pole Locations, etc.

The real and personal taxable property in the Town as assessed and reported by the Assessors for the year 1916, was as follows:
Personal Property

$2,417,831.00 $3,008,992.00
$14,879,529.00 $16,306,167.00
The above figures show an increase in personal property of $591,161 and an increase in real property of $1,426,638 over 1915, making the total taxable property of the Town in 1916 both real and personal $19,315,159, an increase of $2,017,799 over that of 1915.
The Board is pleased to note that the State Tax for 1916 was reduced from $35,197.50 in 1915, to $29,680 in 1916. This shows a reduction in the State Tax of $5,517.50 and while the other taxes levied, such as County, Metropolitan Sewer, Park and Water taxes, have been increased, the total amount levied for all State and County purposes is $95,826.78 or $1,861.02 less than in 1915. The taxes levied for State and County purposes for 1916 were as follows:

Increase® $155.31 77.10
$95,826.78 $97,687.80
$1,861.02
As will be seen from the foregoing tables the amount paid in taxes for State, Metropolitan and County purposes is $1,861.02 less than in 1915. This fact together with the economical ad- ministration of the various departments of the Town enabled the Assessors to reduce our tax rate from $21.80 in 1915 to $21.30 in 1916. In view of the foregoing facts the Board deems it only right and proper that mention should be made at this time of the careful and economical manner in which the various depart- ments, particularly those coming under the supervision of the Board, have endeavored to keep within the appropriation allowed, and at the same time to administer the affairs of the Departments without impairing the efficiency that the Board and the citizens desire.
With the large number of buildings being erected in our Town and the consequent increase in the population it is but fair to assume that the yearly appropriation for the maintenance of these departments must necessarily increase, but the Board are of the opinion that, with a continuance of the careful and economi- cal administration of these departments, the increases will only be in proportion to the increased population. During the past year, over $1,250,000 was invested in new buildings. With approximately this increase for some few years to come it would mean that the Town would be given the taxes of over one million dollars additional each year on real property, or about $21,000 per year. It would seem that this yearly increase should properly care for the natural increases in the maintenance of our depart- ments, leaving larger undertakings, such as the erection of new buildings, etc., to be cared for by serial notes. The Board would, therefore, again urge a continuance of an economical adminis- tration of all our departments to the end that we may continue *Included in Park Tax.
