REPORT OF THE BOARD OF SELECTMEN
FINANCIAL
The thirty-fifth accounting of the Florence M. Cushing Trust for the period ending August 20, 1963, was reported by the Trust- ees. The report shows a principal amount of $47, 071.13. In- come from the account was $3,359.49; service charges were $344.29; remitted to the Town of Norwell, $2, 940.00.
The Town records show a usable available balance of $11, 471.41 as of December 31, 1963.
This money is being held in reserve to pay for major repairs to the Cushing Memorial Town Hall, as necessary.
During the year the Town borrowed $250, 000. 00 in anticipa- tion of revenue to meet its obligations.
At the 1963 Annual Meeting the Town appropriated $82, 000. 00 to the Stabilization Fund. The purpose of this fund is to reduce the amount which will have to be borrowed to pay for capital out- lays.
The free cash available for appropriation, certified by the Bureau of Accounts, as of January 1, 1963 was $234, 388.15. Of this amount, $193, 208.85 was appropriated by the Town at the 1963 Annual Meeting, and $24, 000. 00 was appropriated at the Special Town Meeting of June 18, 1963, leaving a balance of $17,179.30.
HIGHWAYS
The Board has received a report from the Volunteer Street Numbering Committee and conferred with the Planning Board. The Selectmen have this problem of street numbering under con-
15
sideration. Preliminary plans are under way to accomplish this by the Town office staff from the revised Town Maps.
The Chapter 90 Main Street construction project, as laid out by the County Commissioners and the Department of Public Works, was started at the Hanover-Norwell line. This project will continue easterly on Main Street during the coming year.
During the year the Board continued to press for State and County funds to reconstruct the bridge and approaches on Tiffany Road - East Street at the Hanover-Norwell Town line. The County Commissioners have agreed to make a layout of this area and the prospect of starting the project soon seems very good.
The Board conducted its annual street light survey, at which time all requests for the installation of street lights, submitted by Town Departments and individuals were considered. The Brockton Edison Company was directed to install lights in areas where the most hazardous traffic conditions exist.
GENERAL
The Board of Selectmen held Quarterly Meetings for all Boards, Departments, Committees and Commissions.
In addition to the Annual Meeting, the Board called Special Town Meetings on June 18 and October 7, 1963.
The Annual Town Election was held in the Cafeteria of the Senior High School. This location proved to be very satisfactory, with ample parking area and easy access to the polling place.
During the year 120 Building permits (new homes-62, all others-58), 215 Wiring permits and 20 Gas permits were issued.
Harold Young was appointed permanent, full-time custodian
16
for the Town Hall and Annex, effective February 11, 1963.
At the 1963 Annual Town Meeting the following resolution was presented and voted unanimously:
"That the Town vote to confer on Nellie L. Sparrell, Town Clerk 1941-1963, the title of "Town Clerk Emeritus" in recog- nition of her long and faithful service; that the Town Office Man- ager and the Assistant Town Clerk have prepared a suitable scroll or booklet attesting to this vote of the Town; and that the Moder- ator present this scroll or booklet to Mrs. Sparrell as soon after the March 16, 1963 elections as possible. "
An engrossed scroll was obtained and presented to Nellie L. Sparrell by Moderator Joseph M. Silvia and Town Clerk Nellie G. Tarr.
As the Town's population increases, the work load of the Town Boards, Departments, Committees and Commissions also increases. The need for additional office space, meeting and record areas becomes more acute each year. It is hoped that the Town will provide the much needed areas.
The Town, in the October 7, 1963 Special Town Meeting, voted to instruct the Board of Selectmen to oppose the disposal of sewage effluent into the North River.
The Board of Selectmen recognized that this was an area pro- blem which could not be resolved by an individual town attitude, but only by a coordinated action supported by all towns involved.
The Board concluded from the conflicting opinions stated in public hearings, meetings and many publications, that the effect of treating plant effluent on the river could not be established by the present sources of information, and that the State Department of Public Health was inclined to advise that such effluent would
17
cause no injury.
In these circumstances we considered that no such use of the river should be permitted until a well-organized study of the problem in the whole area was conducted by competent and im- partial authorities and that the towns involved should be given the opportunity to protect the river if such a study developed a reas- onable alternate.
In our opinion this river is a unique resource, a broad area public possession not to be left open to exploitation for limited local advantage or to the risks of unforseen irrevocable reactions.
For these reasons we introduced three bills into the legis- lature to accomplish these objectives, namely, (1) a temporary restraining action for the time required to make a proper study and limited to the construction time for the proposed plants; (2) a complete area study under the direction of the State Depart- ment of Public Health; (3) the formation and acceptance of a Dis- trict Authority, composed of all towns in the area for the common solution of the growing sewage problem, with the objective of keeping the river clean.
As of January 31st, the restraining bill has been voted down but the Study and District bills are still under consideration by the legislature.
