ANNUAL REPORT of the BOARD OF ASSESSORS for 1961
During the year, the Board of Assessors met every Monday evening, plus special meetings called by the Chairman, especially during July and August, when intermittent sessions were held.
Hearings were held with residents of the town on the subjects of property valuations, personal and motor excise taxes, relief to the aged, infirm or poor, veterans' exemptions and the like.
During the year, members of the Board attended all conferences con- ducted by the State Department of Corporations and Taxation.
Members of the Board made weekly trips "into the field" during the year to assess new property constructed within the town, as well as addi- tions and alterations to existing property.
During the month of January, members of the Board made individual inspections throughout the Town and assessed personal property in the amount of $5,257,800.00.
At the organizational meeting on the Monday following the Annual Town Election, the members, including Mr. Walter S. Cooledge, Jr., Mr. John B. Byrne, Jr., and Mr. William O. Hauser, met and unanimously elected Mr. Cooledge as chairman and Mr. Hauser as clerk for one year.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF ASSESSORS
In conclusion, the Board of Assessors would like, once again, to call attention to the above figures regarding new property valuation. It will be noted that, whereas in 1961, new property was in excess of $1,500,000, the estimated increase for 1962 is just over $1,000,000. As you can see, the Assessors prediction of a decrease in new value is shown by this year's figures.
The Assessors, having attended the week-long Assessors' seminar at the University of Massachusetts, and in line with the recent Supreme Court decision, as well as rulings of the Tax Commissioner, feel that the towns- people will have to face a program of revaluation in the very near future.
