In Memoriam


HARRIS M. BRIGGS "Harry"


Sterling character with a genial disposition. A fine citizen, a faithful servant to the duties of Tree Warden, from May 1906 to June 11th, 1952, who did every kind deed there is for trees and people alike. A good neighbor anticipating the needs of others; a loyal friend beloved by all, was called home June 11th, 1952.


73


SELECTMEN'S REPORT


The year of 1952 was a busy one for the Board. Several joint meetings were held with the Road Commissioners, Water Com- missioners, and representatives of the School Building Committee.


Three major appointments were made by the Board, the first being that of John K. Eaton as Veterans' Agent to succeed Leo Berube who was unable to continue in this office. This is a very important position as much depends on the judgment of the Veterans' Agent and the Board was very fortunate in securing Mr. Eaton for this post. Mr. Eaton is a Disabled Veteran of World War II.


Walter Doucette was appointed Tree Warden to fill the post so long and ably held by Harris Briggs. He is also a veteran.


George Collins was appointed Custodian of the Town Hall to replace George James who was retired by the County Retirement System.


The Board has had considerable contact with the New England Fire Rating Bureau, with the hope of having Tewksbury Rated in C Class instead of D Class. The latest recommendations we have received from the Bureau are not practical as the increased expenditures necessary would cost the Town about $5.00 annually for each $1.00 saved annually. The Board is still working on the rate structure in the hope that eventually we will receive more favorable action.


The Board has had the Town By-Laws printed in booklet form. Previous to this about the only way one could learn what was what in regards to the By-Laws was to consult the Town Clerk.


Also the newly approved Building Laws together with the Board of Health Rules have been printed in Booklet form.


Bids were called for the printing of the Annual Town Reports. The contract was let for $6.00 per page to the Buckland Printing Co. The only other bid was received for $6.25 per page.


On October 13th, Chief Barker turned his badges into the Board following his retirement as Police Chief. Sargent John Sullivan was appointed as officer in charge pending the appoint- ment of a new Chief.


As a result of the Town voting for all types of Alcoholic Liquor Licenses the Board has set the following fees for licenses.


74


Package Store All Alcoholic License $ 750.00 Beer and Wine License 375.00


All Alcoholic Common Victualers License .. 1,500.00 All Alcoholic Club License 1,500.00


Drug Store License 150.00


Hearings have been held and in addition to the three original All Alcoholic Package Stores, Licenses have been granted to 2 All Alcoholic Club License's, 3 Common Victualers All Alcoholic Licenses, 2 Beer and Wine Package Store License's, 1 Drug Store License. Fee's collected for these licenses total $10,275.00.


The Board recommends that a sum be included in its budget so that it may be able to pay for a clerk for 2 days a week with the idea of cooperating with the Tax Collector and the Board of Health so that a full time clerk may be hired to be on duty at the Town Hall.


For many years the Board of Selectmen have been depending on the assistance of the Welfare employees to furnish information to citizens calling the Town Hall during the day. This practice has been frowned upon by the State Welfare Board for some time and has now finally been discontinued. The Board strongly recommends that this appropriation be made in the interest of better service to the Town.


The Board has approved the sale of low value Tax Possession Land to the amount of $882.16. Credit for this should be given to our Town Treasurer who made the contacts with the purchasers and prepared the deeds for the sales.


The Board recommends that the Town sell the land and buildings known as the Ella Flemings School, the Foster School, and the Spaulding School lots, all by duly advertised Public Auction. The Board further recommends that no restrictions of the sale price be made by the Town as we feel that it is important to dispose of these properties without further delay.
