REPORT OF THE TOWN COUNSEL
-
Victor N. Cluff, Chairman Board of Selectmen
February 11, 1957
Town Hall, Tewksbury, Mass.
Gentlemen:
I hereby submit my report as Town Counsel for the year ending December 31, 1956. Two cases which have been peneding for some- time have been disposed of, namely, Barton vs. Kane and the Peti- tion of the creditors of Charles L. Haas, Inc. The latter matter has been settled by the Bonding Company although the final papers have not been executed. Two new matters have arisen involving defects in streets, both being minor.
This year the new zoning regulations have naturally reduced the building, and as a result, many of the complicated legal problems arising in the several departments. It is true, that the past six to seven months have been a period of transition from small lot size to the larger lot size and that during this period the question of appli- cation of the By-Law has brought some new problems. However, most of them have been determined and only one piece of litigation took place. As we proceed into 1957, the probability of additional litigation has been reduced.
Your Town Counsel has endeavored to remain free from ques- tions of policy or conflicts of interest. Contrary to some statements at the last annual Town Meeting, concerning the Sullivan taking for the Water Department, the Town Officials involved in that taking had been immediately advised that I had represented Mr. Sullivan and that special counsel would be necessary in the event that it could not be settled amicably. This has been done and special counsel has been appointed by the Board of Selectmen.
Two articles have been inserted in the Warrant requesting special appropriations for two specific cases now pending. The purpose of both articles being twofold; first, to indicate to the Selectmen the wishes of the Townspeople as to policy and secondly, whether or not they wish to expend for legal fees the money in- volved in each case. As with all special articles, they involve the expenditure of funds that require your thoughtful consideration in conjunction with other Depeartment Budgets and the recommenda- tion of your Finance Committee.
Very respectfully yours, WARREN W. ALLGROVE Town Counsel

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE BOARD OF SELECTMEN
The Board of Selectmen held its regular weekly meetings during the last year. In addition, the Board also met with the other Town Departments and outside interests whenever it was deemed necessary.
The Board in cooperation with the School Committee allowed the lower hall to be utilized for class-rooms. This necessitated in- creasing the budget for town hall maintenance about one-third, which is reflected in the town hall budget.
As a result of a decision by the Board of Appeals, the Selectmen voted to appeal its decision in the courts and so instructed the Town Counsel. After a conference with all parties affected and the Town Counsel a majority of the Board of Selectmen felt that because of the cost of litigation and as the chances of success were no better than fifty-fifty to begin with, that the best interests of the town would be served by withdrawing the appeal.
For a complete record on suits pending before the town, please refer to the Town Counsel's report elsewhere in the Town Report.
It was with a great deal of reluctance that the Board accepted the resignation of George McDeremott as Civil Defense Director. George has served in this capacity since the inception of the Civil Defense Program. He has built up an organization in cooperation with the other departments of the Town that is second to none in this locality.
This job is a time consuming effort to strengthen our position and knowledge in case of an enemy attack. The nonchalant attitude of the general public to Civil Defense is disheartening to those who realize its importance.
The Board takes this opportunity to thank George for his un- tiring efforts and for a job well done, and may his successor carry on with the same enthusiasm, ability, and courage as he has displayed in the performance of these duties.
This year the Board has recommended the establishment of a new precinct. This was contemplated as a result of the growth of the town, and the inability of the present facilities of the Town Hall to adequately serve the voters. The new precinct as proposed will re- duce Precinct One by approximately 1000 voters and should take care of this situation for several years.
Under the direction and supervision of the Planning Board a complete survey of the town is under way. Until this survey is completed the townspeople should be reluctant to spend too much money on contemplated improvements until the final report is com- pleted. An example of haste has just been experienced this last year when a preliminary report by the School Building Committee along with a report from the Planning Board to build a six-room addition to the present Shawsheen School was not recommended but neverthe- less is going to be built.
It was necessary for the Board to take emergency action to re-
131
place the police crusier that was wrecked in a most unfortunate accident.
There was placed on the ballot this year the question of whether the town should make a change in the type of government that has prevailed here since the town was incorporated.
We surely hope that the merits and demerits of a Public Works Department will be freely discussed so that the voting public can make up its own mind on this basis and vote accordingly.
The confidence and foresight of people in the investment field has brought to our town one of the most modern shopping centers. This type of industry serves as a good source of income in our tax program. Every citizen should be on the alert to foster and en- courage new industry for our town.
The Board wishes to take this opportunity to express their appreciation of the fine cooperation they have had from James Gaffney who has served as town moderator over a period of years. It was with regret that the Board learned of his retirement because of health and wishes him a speedy recovery in order that he may again take part some place in the political life of Tewksbury.
In conclusion, the Board wishes to express its appreciation to all the townspeople and town departments who have cooperated with us to make Tewksbury a better community in which to live, work, and play. The rapid growth of our Town presents numerous prob- lems which cannot be solved over night, nor by any one person. It takes time and cooperation by a lot of people to seek the correct solutions to these many problems in order to insure a successful town government.
VICTOR N. CLUFF, Chairman JOHN D. SULLIVAN JOHN H. HART GEORGE A. O'CONNELL
INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION
Your Commission has held many meetings since January, 1956, with a majority of members present at each meeting.
The Commission has held sessions with executives of various industrial realty firms from Boston at which meetings the advan- tages and disadvantages of the Town, from an industrial standpoint, were discussed frankly.
These industry men, while they were not too pessimistic about our prospects, did feel that Tewksbury was on the outside of the industrial perimeter unless a circumferential highway, such as the proposed Route 110 was built.
The realtors supplied us with complete questionnaires to be completed regarding attractive land sites for industry in Tewksbury.
We are now working to complete these questionnaires. When they are completed they will be sent along to Boston.
JOHN J. BELTON Chairman
