ARLINGTON TOWN REPORT
REPORT OF THE JOINT BOARD OF SELECTMEN AND BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen
Arlington, Massachusetts
Gentlemen :
The Thirty-eighth Annual Report of the Joint Board of Selectmen and Board of Public Works for the year end- ing December 31, 1941, is herewith submitted, pursuant to Section 3 of Article 3 of the Town's By-Laws.
At the Annual Election held March 3, 1941, Mr. Har- old M. Estabrook and Mr. Willard A. Wallace were re- elected members of the Board of Selectmen and of the Board of Public Works, respectively, for terms of three years and, by virtue of such elections, both continued as members of this Board. On March 10, 1941, the Board organized with Mr. William C. Adams as Chairman and Mr. James R. Smith as Vice-Chairman.
The regular bi-monthly meetings of the Board were continued as heretofore. The Board, in addition, held thir- teen special meetings during the year.
It is with deep regret that we record the pass- ing of the Town Counsel, Mr. Paul M. White, on December 4, 1941. For nearly twenty years he served the Town faithfully and conscientiously. The Resolution adopted at the Special Town Meet- ing held December 15, 1941, expressing apprecia- tion of his devoted loyalty to the interests of the Town, appears in the Town Clerk's Record of Town Meetings and Elections.
Elsewhere in the Town Report are reports of the ac- complishments of the departments under the jurisdiction
