REPORT OF THE BOARD OF SELECTMEN
The Board of Selectmen met and organized on March 7, 1961; pres- ent were John J. Kavanagh, Arthur L. Healy and Horace F. Wyman. John J. Kavanagh was elected Chairman and Arthur L. Healy, Secretary.
Reports submitted by departments, committees and individuals un- der the jurisdiction of the Selectmen, appear elsewhere in the Town Report.
Route 495, now open from Route 3 in Chelmsford to Route 2 in Lit- tleton, still presents certain problems for the Town. The Selectmen pressed for and secured cross-overs for emergency purposes at certain points between lanes and, by letters to the Department of Public Works and through the intercession of Representative F. Bradford Morse, they are seeking to have certain safety signs placed on the ramps on Boston Road and relocation or modification of the safety islands on Boston and Concord Roads. Change in lay-out will require the approval of the Federal Bureau of Roads.
Joint meetings of certain departments, boards and committees of the Town have been regularly held and are generally considered to be of value in planning for the future needs of the Town. One subject of continuing interest and discussion is the impending house construction boom, particularly in the South Chelmsford Road and Howard Road areas.
The Selectmen and other officers of the Town have continued to be active in organizations working for the accelerated expansion of Route 495 and for the coordinated development and improvement of the so called Greater Lowell area. The Conservation Commission has been ac- tively engaged in assessing the natural resources of the Town and in formulating plans for the future.
The Selectmen duly perambulated the Town bounds common to the towns of Carlisle, Acton, Littleton, Groton and Tyngsborough, and re- quested the Town of Chelmsford to take joint action to fix the loca- tion of certain disputed monuments on the Westford-Chelmsford line. No reply has yet been received.
The Selectmen accepted with regret the resignation of John L. Connell, as Sergeant on the Police Force, effective December 31, 1961.
The Selectmen have caused to be installed 7,000 lumen street lights at certain locations in the villages. Others may be installed at points where existing lights may be eliminated, with little added cost to the Town. All residents are requested to report improperly functioning or dead street lights to the Clerk of the Board at the Town Hall, or to any Police Officer.
During the year 1961 the Selectmen issued 166 Building Permits charging as fees therefor $2.00 or $3.00, depending upon type and size of construction. The total amount of fees received was $427.00. Said permits were classified as follows: Houses - 90; Additions - 37; Garages - 12; Cottages - 3; Breezeway and Garages - 4; Carports - 2; Barn - 1; Sheds - 3; Storage Buildings - 2; Patio - 1;
59
Greenhouse - 1; Replacement - 1; of House Trailer - 1; Dormers - 2; Business Buildings - 2.
Accessory Buildings - 4; Storage
