| Report of the Advisory Committee

To the’ Voters of the Town of Southboro:

The recommended total budget ($601,757. 03) plus the total’ recommended warrant articles ($68;794.76) brings the total warrant to a recommended figure of $669,217.54 which compares. with :the figure of $559,165.37 which was voted in

1958. This represents an increase of approximately 20% over

the amount recommended last year:

"The aiioun of available funds or “Free Cash” as of January 1, 1959 as certified by the Director of Accounts is $150,885.74. This compares with the 1958 “Free Cash” figure of $100, 228. 63.

mhavetre,4 we canned that $50, 000.00 be snaea from “Free Cash” and used to reduce the 1959 Tax Rate and thus make the total expenditures to be raised by taxation $619,217.54 for’ the year 1959.

: 1959 1958 Total Budgets $601,757.03 $508,466.00 Deduct ‘Fire House’ Money 759.00 Deduct Dog Money 574.75 694.67. Net Budgets $600,423.28 $507,771.33 Warrant Articles ‘ $ 68,794.26 $ 51,394.04 Total Net Warrant $669,217.54 $559,165.37

EDUCATION

Total expenditures for education of Southboros children in 1958 amounted to about $253,539.00 and for 1959 the pro- posed amount is $333,758.00 or an increase of 31%.

1959 will of course be the first year in which the Town will be sending Grades 9 through 12 to the new Algonquin Region- al High School and the amount recommended for this purpose (included above) is $97,970.00.

This highlights the fact that the recommended amount to support the education of 8 Grades in 1959 amounts to ap- ‘proximately the same amount appropriated for 12 Grades in 1958.

Over and above this, we would: point out that the amount of $97,970.00 proposed for 1959 for the Algonquin Regional School is to cover only 4 months of the year September -through December and obviously with all things remaining equal, there will be a substantial increase in the amount to be appropriated for this purpose in 1960 and ensuing years.

The fact of continuing rise in educational expense is sub- mitted without comment, but this Committee feels that it oe once again be brought to the attention of the Towns-

people

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF SELECTMEN

On March 19th, the Board organized as follows :—

Mr. John Hill, Chairman Mr. Henry B. Adams. Mr. Philip W. Burke

The Board met every Wednesday evening at 7.00 P.M. Ap- proximately Seventy-five (75) special meetnigs were held dur- ing the year, for various reasons. Although no emergency of any great import took place during 1958, we still have a con- siderable amount of drainage problems which we feel cannot be put off for future consideration. The most pressing prob- Jems should be dealt with during the year nape.

We wish to call your attention to Article 35, which calls for an expenditure of Twelve Thousand Seven Hundred Twenty- seven ($12,727.00) Dollars. This item was brought before the Town Meeting last year, but was dismissed, with the idea that. an over-all storm-drainage survey might possibly be made with money made available by Federal Funds.

The traveling public and the Inhabitants in that area of Richards Road, should not be subjected to the existing condi- tion, as it now is. Already State and County funds have been withdrawn from Richards Road under Chapter 81, and will not be forthcoming until adequate drainage is installed.

All repair and maintenance work on Chapter 81 and 90 roads was carried out. and completed under the supervision of the . State’s Department of Public Works. Chapter 90 Construction on Framingham Road, was completed on schedule as laid out by the State’s Department of Public Works. Some work was done on Walnut Hill Road, under Chapter 718. As was pointed out in our 1957 Report, a new tractor is greatly needéd in our Highway Department.

Under the ‘Téwn’ Hall Budget; ‘the’ outsidé woodwork on the building was given two (2) coats of paint — a new rear door was installed. A new modern lock was installed on the front door. A new ceiling was installed in the Selectmen’s office with two (2) coats of paint throughout. The Town Clerk’s and the Treasurer’s;,offices,. were given two (2) coats. of paint as well as the Assessors’ office. A new water-cooled automatic bubbler was installed in the Lower Town, Hall, also, an auto- matic hot-water heater.

The following street lights were installed during the year:

. Due to the. rapid growth of the Town, many requests are - made for new or additional services, which, in turn, greatly increases the already heavy burden on all Town Departments.

Because of increased costs of operating Town Departments

- to keep pace with the times, the Selectmen feel: that to ease

the increasing tax burden, steps should be taken to secure

more industry for the Town, as our neighboring communities

are doing. Several favorable locations are available for indus- trial developments.

The work in this department, like that in all’ others has: increased greatly, due to the growth of the town.

Much more time is required to complete assessments and other duties of this office.

One of the most ifiportant items, is to have fair valuations on all property,- so that each one will pay their just proportion of taxes.

With changing values and conditions, we feel that 6wners~ of Réal estate,.can be of great assistance, by meeting with us and discussing their valuations.

Circumstances are such that, we cannot give all our time to. this work, however, some of us usually spend part of each | day at the office.

We have been concerned about the By-law which relates is the printing of an Assessor’s report; it may be that this prac- tice can be eliminated, for the reason that, the valuation book is open to the public and all the necessary information is avail- able, together with the fact that we meet often, and the cost of preparing and printing is considerable.

This department as well as the others wish to express our appreciation to Sheriff Herbert E. Banfill for his long service to the town as an Assessor and on other various Town com- mittees which he has served faithfully. The best interest of the Town was foremost in his decisions, and he was always - willing to assist anyone with their difficulties.

We wish to thank all other Town Departments for their cooperation during the year. |

At the Annual Town Meeting in March, it was voted to establish one more step in the Salary Administration Plan, and also to establish 3 step plans for the Director of Veterans Services and the custodians at the two town halls and the Library.

During the year, the Board attended to routine business and also held a public hearing relative to increasing the hourly pay of the call firemen when fighting brush and forest fires. Checks were made in nearby towns and also towns of our size in the state as to rate of pay. It is the Board’s unanimous recommendation to increase the pay. an brush and forest fires as follows:

"Call Fireman from $1.00 to $1.50/hour Call Captains and Lieutenants from $1.15 to $1.65/hour Call Fire Chief from $1.25 to $1.75/hour

To be effective Jan. 1, 1959. : A Warrant article has’ been prepared for the town’s ‘approval.

During 1959, the Personnel Board will review all jobs sub- . ject to the Classification Plan Becording to the Wage, Plan — Section 15: (D).

It was the Board’s suggestion in 1957 that copies of bud- gets be sent to the Board prior to their usual meeting with . the Advisory Board,.so that. proposed money for salaries and wages could be approved in advance.

The Board of Public Welfare and Bureau of Old Age Assist- ance submits the following report of its work for the past year ending on December 31, 1958.

- General Relief

. Twenty: Nine persons were aided during 1958. The Town was billed for three cases aided elsewhere. We received full re- imbursement, from the State in two cases.

The J. Lowell Bacon, Clarissa Clapp and Winchester Funds were used for six applicants. Several referrals were made to the Marshall Fund at Marlboro Hospital.

Aid to Dependent Children

During the year 1958 aid was rendered to eighteen persons in the category of relief. One case was denied. There is part reimbursement from the Federal and State Governments for this. ;

Disability Assistance

The Town of Southborough has granted aid to two persons who had been approved by the State and Medical Board for this category of assistance. Both Federal. and State Govern- ments reimburse the Town for a part of its expenditures.

Old Age Assistance

Forty-one persons were assisted during the year 1958. Re- imbursement to the Town for a part of these expenditures is received regularly from the Federal and State Governments. Of the forty-one persons aided, eight came from other Towns for whom Southborough is fully reimbursed; for nine others, who are unsettled, the State assumed full financial responsi- bility. Four former Southborough residents were aided in other communities and the proportionate share of their sup- port is charged to this Town.

85

There weré seven applications for Old Age Assistance,. five of ‘which’ were approved and two denied. One account was closed due to death, four due to increased resources.

We feel that the following figures may be of interest to the taxpayers. _ Expenditures for all four categories:

For aid to or in behalf of recipients: $59,598.16

For administration . - 5,159.35

Total : # "$64,757.51 Receipts for all four categories:

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH

To the Board of Selectmen Southbrough, Massachusetts

Gentlemen:

The Board of Health herewith ‘submits a \ report of its work in 1958.

On January 10th Dr. Theodore Ingalls auiohied from the Board and John Bartolini was duly appointed by the Select- men to fill out Dr. Ingalls’ term.

In the past year, increased attention has been focused on

the very real problem of offensive odors stemming from the waste disposal system of the Deerfoot Meat Co. on Newton Street. Meetings have been held with engineers and sanitari- ans representing the M.D.C., the State Board of Health and the Deerfoot Company. Disposal of the wastes involved pre- sents a technically difficult situation to which the- answer continues to be sought. The solution, we believe, will come through’ continuing collaboration between ‘engineers repre- senting the State Board of Health and the Deerfoot Meat Company. Your Board is endeavoring to assure progress in this direction. ‘'The Board spent much more time than in previous years on the problems of drainage and sewerage incident to new building in town. New regulations for sewerage. were: pub- lished.

For a ‘few years it has been known that some sewerage dis- posal systems in the vicinity of the corner of Cherry and Pleasant Streets have communicated with and polluted the street drainage system in that area ‘which drains to a brook flowing under’ Learned and Central Streets to the reservoir basin ‘from which our water is drawn. In the past year it has become apparent that this hazard to sanitation must be dealt with.

--The- Board ‘has-:met with engineers of the M:D.C: and Mc- Carthy. Engineering Co: and ‘is: presenting a warrant article proposing to-install a small filter bed in the course ‘of the pol- luted brook. The Board urges support of this article’

Well-Child Conference was held on May 22nd. Diphtheria, Pertussis and Tetanus and Salk inoculations were given at this time.

Restaurant inspections have been made and the Board is pleased to report that all restaurants are conforming to the regulations of the Town.

On March 4th the Board signed a garbage removal contract with L. Preston Andrews of Westboro for a three year term.

Communicable diseases reported for 1958 were as follows: Chicken Pox 64; German Measles 34; Measles 837; Mumps 5; Scarlet Fever 12; Meningitis 1.

Licenses jasired in 1958 included: Vehicle Milk and Cream 10; Store, Milk and Cream 17; Anti-freeze 13; Nursery Schools 2; Funeral home 1.

REPORT OF THE FAYVILLE VILLAGE HALL - COMMITTEE .

To the Honorable Board of Selectmen, Town of Southborough, Massachusetts.

Gentlemen :

The Fayville Village. Hall has been very busy during the year 1958. The hall was in use approximately two hundred — times by the various organizations of the Town. as a regular meeting place and for parties. Various out of town groups have used the town hall for various purposes.

Minor repairs have been made to the building during the year. A new coatroom has been built, with only a lighting fixture to be installed in the Ladies Room in the future.

The committee has tried to keep the operating expense for the Fayville Village Hall at a minimum and within our budget. There has been purchased eight new tables, making a total of fifteen tables anda seating capacity of 150 people. With the ar eae of 6 new tables necessary this year we will seat 210 people.

The rules and regulations of the Fayville Village Hall have been revised and new copies placed on the bulletin board. We have purchased a new floor polisher and waxer for the town hall. The business of operating the Fayville Village Hall has been conducted at the regular: meetings of the committee, on the second Monday of every month.

COMMITTEE REPORT . Relative to Hillside Averiue

In accordance with the vote taken under Article 11 of the Warrant for the Special Town Meeting of September 8, 1958, this committee was appointed to determine what action, if any, should be taken in connection with Hillside Avenue.

The Committee determined that Hillside Avenue, as laid out by the Selectmen and accepted as a public way by vote of the Annual Town Meeting held on March 26, 1945, is forty feet wide and runs from the easterly side of Lyman Street for a distance of about five hundred feét to the stonewall separating the land of William G. Salmon from that of Joseph Taylor. Sometime after acceptance, the westerly end of the way was constructed for a distance of about two hundred fifty feet, ending about ten feet easterly of the easterly bound of. the land of Charles H. O’Malley. In the opinion of the committee, this construction of a sixteen foot traveled way complies with the requirements of the Department of Public Works, al- though the drainage facilities, while barely adequate, should be improved.

The remaining two hundred sixty feet, which slopes slightly downward to the east, has. never been wrought as a way. A growth of trees and underbrush cover it to such an extent that it is completely impassable for any type of vehicle.

Findings . The committee finds that

(1) In order to coonstruct the remainder of the way, it would be necessary to clear enough of the land to ac- commodate the traveled area. No grading, except a pos- sible small amount of cut and fill to make a constant grade, would be required. Adequate drainage could be ac- complished by a shallow gutter on the north side of the traveled way. ; way.

(2) The cost of construction for about two hundred sixty feet to its terminus would be relatively small and would require no special appropriation.

(3) Construction of ‘a traveled surfdce sixteen feet in width would be entirely adequate to accommodate any traffic which might use the way in the forseeable future, and would conform with the width of both Hillside Ave-- nue and Lyman Street as they are now used.

Recommendations

‘The committee recommends that

(1) A sixteen foot traveled way to be constructed: _ the easterly end of the way as already in existence to the: terminus of the way as laid out and accepted previously..

_ (2) Construction be commenced in 1959 and that: general funds of the Highway Department be used for- . the purpose.

‘REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES OF FAY LIBRARY — 1958

The Board of Trustees of Fay Library met ten times during the year 1958.

The Trustees.are always concerned with the proper mainte- nance of Library Building. During the past year the frames of the windows in the main room have been mended: and painted and new curtains hung. Chairs have been repaired and it is hoped that the ceiling and walls of the reading room will be plastered and painted within the next few months.

The Librarians report shows that the total circulation in both Fay Library and the Fayville Branch has increased: al- though fewer Juvenile books have been read. On the other hand more magazines are being read by both adults and chil- dren. The Trustees plan to post a list of new books in the schools with the hope that this will stimulate more outside reading. The Library has purchased more books in various scientific fields which should be of interest to both old and young.

The Trustees wish to thank all those who contributed books to the Library. Such gifts are always welcome. ~

With the aid of Mrs. Hutt, the Librarian, and the interest of the Town, the Trustees are sure that Fay Library will con- tinue to be of benefit to the community

REPORT OF THE PLANNING BOARD FOR 1958

To the Honorable Board ‘of Selectmen Town of Southborough, Massachusetts

Gentlemen: ’ Three subdivision plans were submitted in 1958:

A definitive subdivision plan on Parkerville Road directly south of Worcester Turnpike was disapproved pending an engineering study of storm drainage and drainage problems in that area.

Two preliminary -plans in the Fayville area are currently under consideration. It is expected that definitive plans will be submitted to. the Planning Board early in 1959.

‘On August 20, 1958 the Planning Board submitted to the Federal Housing & Home Finance Agency an application for a storm drainage survey and plan for all paved roads in the ’ town. If and when the application is approved, the cost of the survey will be borne initially by the federal government. It is hoped that this survey will render assistance in the solution of surface drainage problems arising out of existing and Pro posed subdivision developments.

‘REPORT OF THE SOUTHBORO INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION

The Industrial Commission has been approached by many interested in land for industrial use. These prospects, and owners of industrial land, have been brought together when possible. Industry interested in construction of first class buildings seem to desire clarification of new Mehwey construc- tion before selecting locations.

The trucking industry is actively interested in eeatlOne: Due to their active night- time operation we have discouraged them in seeking re-zoning for such use if nearby homes would be affected.

The new Route 110, and Worcester Hepa. will have an impact on the southwest side of -town, and might well dictate some thoughts of changes in our original zoning of this area.

One business firm, Power Products of Framingham, are presently building on business land south of Route 9 at Middle 0a

A small machine shop of excellent appearance and construc- tion has been completed on Marlborough Road. A sales and service building west of Route 85 on the Turnpike was oc- cupied the first of 1958, and scheduled for completion in the ~ Spring, with a small addition.

Total assessment of these non-residential properties will total about $30,000.00.

TOWN COUNSEL’S REPORT

Since the close of World War II the legal problems of gov- ernment, particularly in small towns, have mounted enorm- ously. The trend which began with the depression was gradual ‘until 1945. Since then municipal regulations and requirements have expanded at such a pace that even the specialist in mu- nicipal law has experienced considerable difficulty in keeping apace of them, regardless of the extent of his experience and talent for that branch of the law. In a few rare instances new laws, such as the procedure to establish liens for unpaid water bills, have tended to simplify some municipal practices but, the vast majority of them relate to new and extremely complex subjects, the novel character of which makes it impossible to find precedent to guide legal counsel in making decisions or giving advice. Even the highest courts sometimes find it almost impossible to place correct interpretations upon them. Frequent amendments of new laws. are required to govern situations which were not anticipated by their framers.

Subdivision Control] Laws

Subdivision control laws (which should not be confused with zoning laws) present a shining example of the confusion and uncertainties confronting every .counsel, litigant and court which is required to deal with them. Some type of subdivision control (although under a different name) have been in effect since 1920 but until 1936 they were not uniform and gave municipalities which chose to adopt them a wide latitude in what they might and what they might not do. Laws for the purpose of “improved method of municipal planning” which

106

were enacted in 1936 applied to many subjects not covered previously but municipalities still retained the power to ac- cept them or not as they saw fit. Those which did adopt them had considerable leeway in the manner in which they adapted them to the needs of their particular communities.

In 1953, however, the Legislature in effect, repealed the old laws and adopted a huge quantity of new ones relating to subdivisions of land and town planning. These new laws were called Subdivision Control Laws and applied to all towns which had adopted or accepted the laws enacted in 1986. The 1953 law took away virtually all the power of towns to exer- cise any discretion at all.

As the result of a vote taken at the annual Town Meeting in 1948, Southborough automatically became subject to the 1953 statutes which are so complicated and so rigid in their application that in many instances it is almost impossible to know what they mean. Many amendments and decisions of the Supreme Judicial Court since 1953 have clarified some of the inconsistencies and incongruities but they have hardly scratched the surface. Even the most experienced and talented municipal counsel has great difficulty in trying to determine what many sections of the law mean and when he has done so, he can only hope, with no great assurance, that the Courts will sustain him in his opinion; the layman who attempts to place his own interpretation upon them is treading on extremely ‘dangerous ground.

The inevitable result of this is litigation! ! ©

. Zoning Laws

Statutes authorizing zoning by-laws were first enacted in 1920 and permitted municipalities for the “purpose of pro-. moting health,” etc., to regulate and restrict the height: and size of buildings, the size and width of lots, the density of population, the location and use of buildings and land, and for those purposes, to divide themselves into district. Since there was little need of such regulations and restrictions in most

107

small towns, very few, if any, of them took advantage of the 1920 law which was the grandparent of the present-day statutes which authorize the adoption of zoning by-laws (Chapter 40A of the General Laws enacted in 1954). As a result, many. of the-early court decisions rendered under the 1920 law have little bearing on zoning laws in small towns. Because the application of such by-laws in cities and large towns present entirely different problems than those of small towns, almost all of which have now adopted zoning laws, the volume of cases relating to the problems of small towns has increased almost beyond belief. As a result of some of these decisions a great many amendments have ben made to the statutes. In fact, there have been so many amendments that many of the decisions which have come down since 1954 have become obsolete and now have no bearing on zoning laws and statutes as they exist today.

General

In addition to the legal ramifications of subdivision and zoning laws, other legal problems of municipalities have also increased. Huge public works projects which have been under- taken by National and State governments, such as the Massa- chusetts Toll Road and new Route No. 110, have greatly in- creaseed the needs of legal assistance in small towns. Other increases have ben caused by the job evaluation program, Worcester County Retirement System and real estate develop- ments requiring layouts and acceptances of new highways.

Until 1933 the few legal problems which arose in South- borough were ably handled by the Board of Selectmen, one or ‘more of whom was an experienced lawyer. Occasionally out- side counsel was engaged and paid from a special appropria- tion but there was no provision for town counsel. Since 1933 ‘only one lawyer served on the Board of Selectmen for a short period of time in the early 1950s. From 1933 to 1936 when new by-laws were adopted legal services were engaged on the one or two occasions when counsel was required to prosecute ‘or defend suits. Since 1936 the by-laws have provided for the appointment of town counsel who receives a salary and is paid for such additional services as might be required of him.

108

Between 1930 and 1933 and between 1946 and 1955 the town was involved in no litigation of any type but there may have been one or two suits involving the town between 1933 and 1946. Three suits were brought against the town in 1955, one still pending in the Middlesex Superior Court, to recover for injuries sustained as a result of an alleged defect in a highway and the other two, each involving about $500 to recover for work alleged to have been done for the town. Both of these suits have been disposed of at a cost for settlement of $100. In 1957 a land damage suit was brought in Worcester Superior Court and this suit was settled for $700. In 1958 the town has been involved in six law suits. Two of these were brought in the Worcester Superior Court in connection with subdivision control laws and two were brought in the same court in connection with zoning laws. Two criminal complaints were brought in the Westboro District Court, both involving alleged violations of the zoning laws and general by-laws. The two criminal cases have been disposed of, one by conviction and the other by acquittal. One of the suits in the Superior Court has been disposed of in favor. of the town. Another has been tried before'a master whose report has been filed. Final disposition of this suit has been delayed in an effort to con- clude the matter by settlement. The other two cases in the Superior Court are still pending and should be concluded in, that court in January.

It is probable that two of these cases and possibly the other will be appealed to the Supreme: Judicial Court. |

Conclusions

Whether it is impossible at this time to foresee the amount or type of litigation, if any, which will involve the Town in the future, it is certain that the cause of the six suits brought in the past year will be present as long as zoning and subdivision control laws exist in their present form. It is also very likely that there will be a substantial expansion in real estate de- velopment, whether. residential, business or industrial and that - the duties of Town counsel will expand proportionately.

In any case, it is certain that the legal burdens of the Town will increase enormously and that increased costs of the Law Department is inevitable.
