REPORT OF THE TOWN COUNSEL
February 12, 1958
Victor N. Cluff, Chairman Board of Selectmen Town Hall, Tewksbury, Mass.
Gentlemen:
I hereby submit my report as Town Counsel for the year ending December 31, 1957.
Two minor land damage suits have been filed against the Town involving takings by the Road Commissioners, one being Edgar P. Goulart et ux involving a claim on Hodgson Street, and the other by the Estate of Rebecca Kamm on Valley Road.
On November 24, 1957, the International Fire Engine #6 was involved in a collision with one Beulah M. Lowthers at Chandler Street and Euclid Road and probably involved the largest property damage to a town vehicle that has been incurred for some years. The lowest bid to repair the damage was in the sum of $6,517.33, and in all probability in excess of any insurance coverage which may be available to cover the damage. This matter is still under negotiation at the present time.
In November of 1957 applications for four original locations for sign boards on Route 38 were received from the Outdoor Advertising Authority. All applications showed a lesser setback than fifty feet from the traveled way, and on January 24, 1958, your Town Counsel representing the Board of Selectmen at a hearing before the Authority objected to these locations, and said matters have been continued pending possible arrangements for new setbacks of any or all of such proposed locations.
In accordance with the vote of the town an action was commenced against Rob-Gil Kennels owned by Robert Walker, and said matter has been joined with a petition for writ of mandamus by said Rob-Gil Kennels against Alice Pike, and the papers are now in order awaiting trial.
In July of 1957 the Board of Appeals was represented by your Town Counsel in a suit brought in the Middlesex Superior Court in- volving the granting of a variance to one Akeson for land adjacent to the old railroad bed off Maple Street. The Court annulled the granting of the variance and thereby was consistent with the decisions of the high court in previous matters. In connection with this it is well to observe that the reluctance of the Courts to uphold variances granted in residential areas behooves the interested parties to apply for a re- zoning and vote at a town meeting. This course is the broader and more
123
accepted means rather than the narrow and limited application to the Board of Appeals where other than minor changes are sought. Your Town Counsel has attempted to properly advise the present Board of Appeals in line with this thinking and to avoid future litigation.
I have attempted to be available for conferences with your Board and the several town boards and committees upon request.
Total amount paid to your Town Counsel for Court appearances, opinions, and conferences - $1,527.50. This does not include Court fees or other disbursements for service of writs or summonsing of witnesses.
Very respectfully yours, WARREN W. ALLGROVE Town Counsel

FROM THE FINANCE COMMITTEE
To the Citizens of Tewksbury:
Since many of you will be attending town meeting for the first time, it is in order to explain how the Finance Committee is formed and what its functions are. Our town by-laws require that the Moderator appoint a Finance Committee of 12 members appointed, four annually for a three year term. The function of this Committee is to examine the budgets submitted by each department together with the articles in the warrant for the Town Meeting. As a result of this investigation this report has been prepared containing our recommendations which are made in accordance with what the Committee considers to be the best interests of the townspeople.
Their budgets reflect the additional cost of enlarging present facilities so that they may adequately serve you. It is now apparent that our increased obligations are exceeding our increase in income from valuation gain, and it will increase even more next year and will likely remain at a high level for several years to come until we have paid our school building program.
There are some bright spots in this dark picture. Because of our geographical position through which Route 110 is expected to traverse and the nearness to the new route 28 with an access road we will be in a position to offer attractive sites for new business. The long range planning committee will undoubtedly suggest certain parcels of land to be rezoned for business and this will have to be done if we are to be realistic and hope to attract new tax relief from these new sources.
We cannot be certain that any of these possibilities will materialize. In any event, we urge the voters to scrutinize carefully all expenditures and to reject any that are not proved essential.
We wish to thank the town officials and department heads for their cooperation in helping us prepare this report.
Respectfully submitted,
