REPORT OF SELECTMEN


REPORT OF BOARD OF SELECTMEN


To the Citizens of the Town of Lynnfield:


Your Board of Selectmen respectfully submits its report for the year ending December 31, 1943, for your consideration.


During January and February, much time was devoted to preparing various articles for the Warrant to be submitted at the annual Town Meeting together with making up the various budgets which come under the jurisdiction of the Board.


Early in the year the Board amended the By-Laws to allow citizens with a relatively small area of land to keep poultry.


In March Mr. Carl Russell resigned his position as Town Accountant and your Board was faced with the necessity of appointing his succes- sor for the unexpired term of this office. After long and careful delib- eration, Mr. Leslie E. Luscombe was appointed to this most important position.


Your Board deemed it necessary to aid and encourage persons to grow gardens, keep poultry and swine. Accordingly, they took the initiative in bringing together representatives of various organizations. Out of this meeting the Victory Garden Emergency Food Committee was formed.


Your Board invited bids for the collection of garbage and com- pleted arrangements for the satisfactory collection of same by the awarding of the contract to Mr. John Woselchuk.


Among the numerous essential maintenance and betterment proj- ects completed, were the painting of the Town Hall, the installation of various new ceilings in the Town Hall, and the road maintenance con- tracts made with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.


Your Board appointed Mr. Douglas Parsons to the position of patrol- man for a temporary term. A permanent appointment cannot be made until after a civil service examination is held.


The Selectmen realize that some plans should be made for post-war work for returning service men, defense plant workers, and others whose present services will not be needed after the war is over. In co-opera- tion with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Emergency Public Works Commission, your Board appointed the members of the Planning Board to a new committee called the Post-War Public Works Program Com- mittee.


In November the members of the Planning Board met with the members of the Board of Selectmen for the purpose of appointing some ·person to the Planning Board to fill the vacancy on that Board caused by the resignation of Mr. Ernest P. Lane. Mr. Nicholas DuChemin was unanimously appointed to the Board. The term of office is to be until the next regular Town election.


30


TOWN OF LYNNFIELD


Your Board deemed it necessary to install town water in the Town Hall and accordingly entered into a contract with the Lynnfield Center Water District Commissioners to have their water piped into the Town Hall. The pipe into the building is large enough to allow for the pos- sible future installation of some form of fire protection within the building.


With the lifting of dim-out regulations your Board felt that the lights around the Common and Lynnfield Square should be brighter, and after a conference with both light companies these locations were made brighter by the unhooding of the nearby lights.

REPORT OF BOARD OF APPEALS


To the Board of Selectmen,


Lynnfield, Mass.


Gentlemen:


Owing to the curtailment in building activities, there were no ap- peals or cases heard by the Board of Appeals on Building and Zoning Laws during the year of 1943. There was therefore no income to report,


35


REPORT OF TOWN COUNSEL


and of the budget allowed at the first of the year ($100.00), the sum of $6.50 was expended for necessary supplies and the balance of $93.50 was unexpended.


Respectfully submitted, JOSEPH W. CASSIDY, Chairman.


REPORT OF TOWN COUNSEL


To the Board of Selectmen,


Lynnfield, Mass.


Gentlemen:


The activities of the Office of Town Counsel during the past year have been many and varied.


In addition to serving in an advisory capacity for the various de- partments, there have been agreements and contracts prepared; hearings before the Appellate Tax Board in Boston, and in addition, I have en- deavored to furnish each town department with copies of new legisla- tion as they are passed by the Legislature and which affect those departments.


For the past several months, the Board of Assessors have been attempting, with the limited funds at their disposal, to modernize the system of records, in anticipation of the volume of work which will be required by the new statutes which go into effect after the war, and I have been assisting them in setting up a system patterned after the larger towns. This cannot be finished in 1943, but much headway has been made, and the results will start to show in 1944 and thereafter.


Respectfully submitted,


JOSEPH W. CASSIDY,


Town Counsel.
