Fellow Citizens of Hamilton:
Tuesday's town election ballot, as you know, includes a question relative to granting tenure of office to our veteran Highway Surveyor, Leland D. Thompson. We, the undersigned citizens, earnestly urge its acceptance .
We are opposed, in general, to the voting of so-called "special benefits" to the individual. In this instance, we feel that definite benefits will accrue in even greater degree to the town than to the individual official.
Mr. Thompson's record of service over the years has admittedly been an exemplary one. The Finance Committee has indicated its confi- dence in his work by annually allocating funds to be used at his dis- cretion in accomplishing a long-range plan of highway maintenance. Such long-term planning calls for a long-term incumbent. Surely. nothing can limit the perspective or check the enterprise of a tried and competent official like the necessity and uncertainty of standing for election each year. No sound business executive would impair the morale of a seasoned and valued employee by placing his term of em- ployment in annual jeopardy.
It has been said that Mr. Thompson would personally benefit in being freed from the "political effects of his actions" in carrying out his duties. We feel that Hamilton, too, stands to benefit, es- pecially in a department where a pre-determined, progressive, long- range course of action is clearly indicated.
We are completely confident that awarding of tenure to Mr. Thompson will in no way affect the sincere and conscientious perform- ance of duty which has always characterized his service. We should also like to point out that no permanent precedent will be established, as the provisions of the act apply only to his situation, and, in event of a vacancy in the office, it reverts to election by ballot. It should likewise be brought to your attention that your Board of Select- men is in unanimous accord with the acceptance of this act.
From a human standpoint, it would seem no more than justice to re- ward the faithful service of an official of so many years with this . small measure of security. We respectfully urge that you vote "Yes" on this question to be found at the bottom of the ballot.
Yours sincerely,
Frank W. Buzzell Robert H. Chittick
