ARLINGTON TOWN REPORT


Balance Appropriation Transfers


403


REPORT OF THE TOWN MANAGER


Report of the Town Manager


February 25, 1963


The Honorable Board of Selectmen Town Hall Arlington 74, Massachusetts


Gentlemen:


Herewith is submitted my report for the year ending December 31, 1962. This report will be my tenth Annual Report, 1953 to 1962 inclusive, since my appointment as Town Manager on May 1, 1953.


In connection with our constantly increasing local tax rate, the dominat- ing factors continue to be School Department costs and the ever-increasing costs of state charges to the Town.


Although all state and municipal authorities believe that something needs to be done to relieve the heavy burden on real estate property owners, it would seem that as we enter the year 1963, we are no nearer a solution than we have been for the last several years; nevertheless, there continues to be a "crying" need for action.


Particular reference is made to my report for the year ending December 31, 1961, which covers in great detail the effect on the Town's tax rate economy of the school construction program that has been in process pur- suant to the original Harvard Survey Report of 1954. The matter is covered at considerable length in the 1961 report and there is no particular point in restating it here.


There follow below my brief comments of important activities in some of the Town departments under the Town Manager during the year that just ended:


ARLINGTON DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION: Efforts were stymied dur - ing the year in connection with the utilization of the Star Market property on the Concord Turnpike due to the considerable uncertainty as to the extent of the state taking of the Star property for the new Route 2. The Development Commission has been active during the year in connection withthe sale of the Old Town Yard property, working closely with the Board of Selectmen.


BUILDING DEPARTMENT: Downward trend in building permits for single and double family houses continues, whereas the upward trend in per- mits for apartment houses appears to be in the making; however, insufficient time has failed to bring into reality the enhanced assessed valuations which must await completion of the construction of many of the units during the ensuing year.


CIVIL DEFENSE: Important progress made in connection with certifica - tion of public fallout shelters. Reference is made to the report of Civil Defense Director John Dempsey for further details on this vital subject matter. During the year the Director supervised the installation of the new $50,000 communication system which has already proven its worth during a few of the Town's emergencies during the latter part of the year just ended. This new communication system, which is financed by matching funds equiva- lent to approximately 40% of the total cost, is practically 100% installed as the year ends; there is little or no question that when fully installed, it will prove of inestimable value to the Town in all emergencies and, in fact, all other types of Town operations.

ARLINGTON TOWN REPORT


ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT: The Engineering Department during the year just ended has begun the installation of a division directly related to architectural aspects of remodelling and reconstruction formerly done by private consultants in connection with buildings other than school buildings. It is obvious that the Maintenance Department has more than it can handle to cover school buildings only; it has, therefore, become encumbent that the Town Engineering Department now and in the future handle all buildings other than schools if the work is to be done with reasonable promptness, after ap- propriations have been made by the Town Meeting. During the past several years, there have been long delays in the preparation of specifications for work done in such public buildings that have proved expensive and quite un- satisfactory, requiring additional expense in connection with the hiring of consultants' services - this will no longer be necessary.
