REPORT OF THE TOWN COUNSEL


February 17, 1959


Victor N. Cluff, Chairman Board of Selectmen


Town Hall, Tewksbury, Mass.


Gentlemen:


I herewith submit my report as Town Counsel for the year ending December 31, 1958.


The following cases are the subject matter of articles inserted in the warrant for the annual town meeting for the consideration of the voters :


The matter of the land damage claim on Valley Road filed in the Superior Court by the Estate of Rebecca Kamm was settled by agree- ment with the Judge in the Superior Court in the amount of $75.00, a nominal amount to dispose of this claim, without additional costs.


The other land damage case pending, that of Edgar K. Goulart et ux, is still pending in the Superior Court, and in all probability will be disposed of during 1959.


The suit filed against Frederick Millett, as the operator of a fire truck on Salem Road, was heard and decided in the Woburn District Court and resulted in a judgment against the operator in the sum of $930.00. This matter was tried on the basis of the information available from police reports and witnesses which indicated that no liability existed on behalf of the operator of said fire truck. At the trial of said matter, one of the witnesses testified to facts unknown prior thereto, which resulted in this liability being incurred by Frederick Millett.


The litigation involved in the action against Rob-Gil Kennels was disposed of by agreement and subsequent sale of the property by the defendants and resulted in a saving to the town of approximately $300.00, the balance left in this account at the time of the settlement.


In the past year several opinions have been rendered by your town counsel for the School Department, which opinions should be carefully read and considered by those interested in school department opera- tions. These opinions are not only on file with the School Department, but a copy of each opinion is on file with the Board of Selectmen and is available for consideration by any interested parties.


At the present time the following matters are pending:


1. Claims for land damages for new high school property.


2. Claims for land damages at reservoir on Ames Hill.


3. Suit has been instituted against Beulah M. Lowthers in- volving the property damage as the result of an accident on November 24, 1957, to the International Fire Truck Number 6.


98


4. Claims against Joseph Killeen as the result of a collision involving a Police Department vehicle.


5. A claim against the Department of Public Works for damage to a Police Department vehicle.


6. Suits in Superior involving enforcement of Zoning By-Law relative to Trailers and Mobile Homes.


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, $3,009.50. This does not include court fees or other disbursements for service of writs or summonsing of witnesses.


Very respectfully submitted, WARREN W. ALLGROVE Town Counsel

THE FINANCE COMMITTEE REPORTS:


This year your Finance Committee has worked many long hours in the interest of keeping the Tax Rate to a minimum. The Town's available cash has dwindled to a new low of less than $99,000. With this fact in mind, we have recommended a minimum of transfers and postponed many Articles, which, although of merit, must be delayed until the tax payer can afford this additional burden. Our tax picture at present is not a happy one, and we need your cooperation to maintain financial stability.
