REPORT OF SELECTMEN
To the Citizens of Westford:
The Board of Selectmen organized in March with Horace F. Wyman as Chairman, John J. Kavanagh, Secretary and Edward F. Harrington as the third member.
Reports of all Committees and Departments under our jurisdiction appear in this Town Report.
There was a State Audit of our books in August and the Balance Sheet from that Audit appears in this Report.
The Board feels that the Town is approaching the stage where a Department of Public Works should be considered and is entering an Ar- ticle in the Warrant for the Annual Town Meeting, asking that a Commit- tee be chosen to make a thorough study of this important matter.
The arrangement of the offices in the Town Hall at present is very outmoded. With this in mind the Board has undertaken to have plans drawn whereby all the Town offices will be located in the Town Hall. An Article will be in the Annual Warrant to enable the Townspeople to act on this matter.
The Board of Selectmen issued 152 Building Permits for the year ending December 31, 1957.
Fees charged for the Permits were $2.00 and $3.00 depending on the size of the construction.
Amount received for Permits was $381.00.
Cost of issuing Permits was $206.55 plus $18.85 for Supplies. The Permits were classified as follows:
