REPORT OF THE BOARD OF SELECTMEN
The Board of Selectmen organized in March 1958. John J. Kavanagh was elected Chairman and Edward F. Harrington as Secretary.
Reports submitted by all Departments, Committees and individuals under the jurisdiction of the Board appear elsewhere in the Town Report.
The Books of the Town were examined by State Auditors in October 1958. The Balance Sheet of that Audit appears elsewhere in the Town Report.
In commection with the possible expansion of Fairview Cemetery, the Board made a careful inspection of abutting land. It is the consid- ered opinion of the Board that the land laying to the South is unsuit- able for Cemetery purposes.
The construction of new Route 110 has presented many problems for the Town and the Board. These problems have seriously engaged the atten- tion of the Board for many months, both in interviews and in corre- spondence with Officials of the Department of Public Works and other Public Representatives.
During the year 1958 the Board issued 136 Building Permits, charging as fees therefor $2.00 or $3.00, depending upon the type and size of construction. The total amount of fees received was $337.00. The cost of issuing Permits was $204.00 plus $40.25 for supplies. Permit 71 was not issued. Said Permits were classified as follows: Houses 61; Cottages 3; Additions 34; Garages 15; Accessory Buildings 2; Business 5; Alterations 2; Sheds Dormers 2; Replacement of Building 1; Change of Use 3; 6; Carport 1; Silo 1.
The Board notes the untimely death of James L. Knowlton, for many years Clerk of the Board and Town Accountant. The Board not only feels a sense of personal loss but regrets the loss to the Town of the services of an able and devoted Public Official
Effective October 6, 1958 the Board appointed Frederic A. Fisher to serve as Clerk of the Board, Town Accountant and Veterans' Agent.
On December 28, 1958 Joseph R. Connell resigned as Superintendent of Streets. Effective that date the Board appointed George W. Wyman to that position.
Effective December 28, 1958, pursuant to authority granted by the State Director of Civil Service, based upon the results of a Civil Service Examination, the Board appointed Joseph R. Connell and George T. Sullivan, Regular Patrolmen in the Police Department.
Respectfully submitted, John J. Kavanagh Edward F. Harrington Horace F. Wyman Board of Selectmen

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF APPEALS
In April the appointed members held a meeting and William E. Wright was elected Chairman. The other members were Everett A. Scott and John J. Barretto. John P. McDermott and Denis Maguire served as al- ternates.
The general policy was to have a public hearing about once each month with as many Appeals as were available at the time. There were 8 Hearings with 19 Appeals. Two Appeals were refused.
The Appeals were classified as follows: Buildings too near Street and Lot Lines
11
Exception in a Residential Area
1
Change in the Use of Buildings
2
Extension of Non-Conforming Use 2
Conversion to Two Family 1
Change of Non-Conforming Use to Specified Use
1
Building Lot with less than Required Area 1
An attempt was made to give serious consideration to all phases of each Appeal. Best interests of the Town, rights of abutters and con- sideration for the welfare of the Petitioners, were all factors in the several decisions.
