REPORT OF TOWN COUSEL
REPORT OF THE TOWN COUNSEL
Honorable Joint Board of Selectmen and Board of Public Works Robbins Memorial Town Hall Arlington, Massachusetts
Gentlemen:
I herewith submit my report for the year 1947 in compliance with Section 3 of Chapter 3 of the By-Laws of the Town.
There have been nine accident claims against the Town this year. One has been settled as authorized by the Selectmen, three have brought suit, and five are in abeyance. Of the previous year's claims and suits, six were abandoned by the claimants without suit and two at the time they were reached for trial, and one was settled as authorized by the Selectmen. There have been no verdicts against the Town.
There were two contract claims against the Town which were compromised by the plaintiffs accepting the original offer made by the Town in accordance with the contract price, no extra amount being paid. There is one action by the City of Boston against the Town for welfare settlement which is pending. There were five claims against third persons for damages to the property, auto- mobiles, trucks, etc., and two held over from previous years. All of these have been collected in full except one which is in process.
