ARLINGTON, TOWN REPORT
At present our office is cramped for space; the Board is without a proper room to accommodate per- sons wishing to "talk things over," and it is often em- barrassing, to say the least, to hear complaints at the office counter in the midst of people waiting for inter- views-and it must be equally embarrassing to our citi- zens. It is only natural, of course, that with the growth of the Town the work of departments increases, and it must be met in business-like fashion; but to do it effi- ciently and economically, to avoid waste of effort and chaos, there must be adequate space. Our office enjoys the reputation of being second to none in the Common- wealth ; it is our wish and desire to keep this high stand- ing, and to that end we hope consideration will be given in the near future to providing larger quarters.
AUGUSTUS J. POWER, EARL A. RYDER, CLARENCE A. MOORE, Board of Assessors.
