This, summed up, means that there are two choices:
1. The present home owners in Tewksbury must be prepared to face the increasing cost of Town Government and the financing of new schools by an increase in the present tax rate, or by an increase in valuation of their present home
or
2. By allowing new homes to be built and a more favorable attitude toward the establishment of new industries within the Town boundaries.
On March 5th, the Annual Town Meeting will be held. The budgets, salary schedules and articles calling for the expenditure of money have been carefully considered by the Finance Committee, and their recommendations have been made.
In a town that has grown as rapidly as Tewksbury, the services and the responsibilities of Town Officials have grown along with it, and it is only natural that they expect to be compensated accordingly.
At the public hearing held by the Finance Committee on the salary and budget request, there were only five persons in attendance other than those who were directly connected with the various departments. This is very discouraging and disheartening to the Town Officials who are charged with the responsibilities of operating a $1,841,857.83 corporation.
The Selectmen have received many complaints the past year and have endeavored to resolve them courteously and quickly and in the best interests of the Town.
The board has considered very carefully all appointments to various committees, auxiliary police, etc.
The Selectmen, with the cooperation of the Chief of Police, have taken steps to provide better traffic protection at the intersections of Main and Shawsheen Streets and Main and South Streets.
The board takes this opportunity to thank the other departments and Town Officials for their cooperation in the administration of-the Town's business.

REPORT OF BOARD OF APPEALS
Three new members and one associate member were appointed to the Board of Appeals on July 2, 1957. During the entire year, forty- five appeals were heard at public hearings, thirty-three of these by the new board. With new by-laws being passed all the time, the board expects numerous appeals for 1958.
The board wishes to take this opportunity to express their gratitude to Town Counsel, Warren W. Allgrove for his assistance. His time and efforts, given freely, to enable us to know and understand the many legal aspects confronting a Board of Appeals on arriving at case decisions, has been invaluable.
