ARTHUR L. HEALY
A RECORD OF PUBLIC SERVICE
The year 1963 will bring to a close the active participa- tion in Town affairs, of Arthur L. Healy, now Chairman of the Board of Selectmen.
Mr. Healy's public career, starting in 1926, spans a period of some three and one-half decades of unbroken service in a wide variety of fields.
Following ten years of duty as Tax Collector, he was elected to the Board of Selectmen in 1936 and was a member of that Board for four terms. In 1949 he was elected to the Housing Authority by vote of the Town at the Annual Town Meeting, and in the same year, served on the Westford School Planning Committee.
In 1952 he was appointed to the Finance Committee, serving thereon through 1959, when he resigned to run again for the office of Selectman. Elected to that office in 1960, he is now finishing his three year term.
It seems fitting that the name of Arthur L. Healy should not disappear from the Town Reports without this testimonial to his many years of able and conscientious effort on behalf of his community.
He has served the Town and its inhabitants, with ability and distinction, and all will be the poorer for his leaving the public scene.
