8 BOARD OF SELECTMEN 1975 was a year that won't soon be forgotten. As a Nation, we were recovering from the shocking revelations of Watergate but still sinking further into an economic recession that touched many of our citizens. The State's new administration brought with it new revelations of economic mismanagement of State government, which required new taxes to be paid by the citizens. And in Sudbury, the mess in the Highway Department reached such proportions that the citizens stepped in and did something about it. In the final analysis, the Sudbury voters demonstrated once again who runs our Town, and what kind of Town they want it to be. But 1975 also had some very good news for Sudbury's citizens. For the first time in 14 years, the property tax rate dropped - and by a substantial 5% at a time when inflation was pushing other costs of living to new heights. This $2.50 drop in the rate was no accident: once again the voters called the shots on Town spending, and the successful Sudbury Equalized Valuation suit of 1974 restored over $400,000 In school aid to Sudbury. Besides recounting the 11 big ones", an annual report is also a good vehicle to reflect on how we are doing in meeting our long-range goals and objectives. You may recall that in 1972 all town boards prepared Five-Year Forecasts including statements of Problems and Opportunities, Objectives, and their Strategies for accomplishing these Objectives. Here is how our Forecast looks, three years later: Although population growth has almost stopped, the demand for town services in the public safety area has not. All measures of police and fire activity are up, and after holding the line on new hires for three years, next year we propose to add two patrolmen and a fire prevention officer. The property tax rate was held in 1974 and got dramatically better in But Sudbury must still support the MBTA and pay County assessments, and the pressure on the State to tap local aid funds is growing. We expect more bad news before we begin to see substantial property tax reform, but we shall continue to work at the state level with other towns and cities to achieve some relief. Reorganization and consolidation of town functions is moving ahead, but slowly. Nonschool building services were consolidated, the Earth Removal Board and the Board of Appeals Associates are the same people, the Highway Commission was disbanded by Town Meeting vote, and the consolidation of various financial administration functions is being discussed. Through the Executive Secretary's office, Sudbury is plugged into Federal and State aid opportunities. Recent grants: two for Heritage Park totaling $9,000, $30,000 for recreation facilities on the previously-funded Haskell land on Hudson Road, and $208,000 for self-help conservation funds for the purchase of the Davis and Hulbert properties. The management and administration of the selectmen's affairs has been strengthened, and Executive Secretary, Ed Thompson, and our management team are meeting increasing demands in cost-effective fashion. Financial administration for the Town is now provided by a fuil-time, professional Town Accountant, John Wilson, who also.serves as direct.staff support for the Finance Committee, The need for an adequate Fire and Police Headquarters continues to be felt. During the economic stresses of 1974, the Town voted "Not now, 11 and the iss1.1e will be brought before the voters again in The citizens of Sudbury continue to demonstrate their concern for our quality of lifewhether it's some volunteer activity, helping a neighbor, working for a more attractive Boston Post Road, or just picking up our roadsides. That's what makes Sudbury, Sudbury! The highlights of 1975 include: Highway Department- The townspeople's "vote for Sudbury" at the December 15th Special Town Meeting will give the Highway Department, its employees, and the Town, the opportunity for a fresh start. The revelations of mismanagement and improper handling of town funds would not go away, and once the townspeople accepted the awful truth and witnessed the "business as usual" attitude of the ma"jority of the Highway Commissioners, they made their decision. The immediate reaction was one of relief, of taking a depressing weight off all our shoulders, of putting Sudbury "right" again. The Highway Department matter received the major attention of your Board in 1975, and we have already started working with the present Commissioners and staff to effectuate a smooth transfer of responsibility and stewardship of the Town's business from now till the Town election in March. At that election you, the voters, will have the choice cif electing a Highway Surveyor and a Tree Warden, each for one year terms, or authorizing the Selectment to appoint these managerial and professional positions. 7

9 Further details of the Highway Department investigation, the Haskins and Sells investigative report. and the Selectmen s Report on the investigation, are carried on pages immediately following this section of the Selectmen 1 s annual town report. Related to the Highway matter is the $250,000 libel and slander suit filed against the Selectmen by the Highway Superintendent. The suit appears to be without merit and has been quiescent for some time. Collective Bargaining- Each succeeding year since collective bargaining for municipal employees became law, we have gone farther in the process and taken longer. In 1974, we were in mediation with the police union before a settlement was reached in September. In 1975, with the spectre of compulsory and binding arbitration in the background, mediation wasn 1 t enough, and a fact finder was brought in. Settlements with police and highway unions were reached in October, but the full fact-finding route was traversed before the firefighters union and the Town settled just after the first of the year- more than one year after the collective bargaining process started! This y~ar 1 s settlements included general Increases of about 8.5% and the Martin Luther King Holiday- but not night-shift differential or minimum manning. The whole process has drifted farther from the voter, and led to feelings of frustration by many segments of the Town. And it costs the Town and the unions more to employ professional negotiators and pay for fact finding. As we start the 1976 round several months late, we hope that past experiences have taught us the 11 better way. Fire and Police- Activity was up in both departments, and so were problems. The personnel sick/injured list was unfortunately long in both the Police and Fire departments. Nor was the equipment spared: an engine on a first-line pumper had to be replaced. The whole area of equipment. maintenance received renewed attention, and a formal preventive maintenance program was instituted by Chief Frost in the Fire Department. The Chief also initiated an aggressive Fire Prevention Program, which we will all hear more of in the future. Police Chief Lombardi and his staff continued to push Operation Identification and Neighborhood Watch as a proven deterrent to house-breaking..both chiefs, along with other town officials and citizens on an Ambulance Task Force, continued to evaluate the alternatives for providing Class I ambulance service after July 1, 1977, as required by statute. The present thinking includes a town ambulance, operated by EMT-trained firefighters, under a set fee schedule, with police cruisers as backup vehicles. In response to a request of the Police Auxiliaries, supported by the Police Chief, a majority of the board authorized the Police Chief to arm the auxiliaries. Town Fathers Forum- The monthly forum of all town boards was started over eight years ago to improve communications and understanding among the boards. It's working, and this year the looth Town Fathers Forum was held in June with William Flynn, Massachusetts Secretary of the Executiv~ Office of Communities and Development, as guest speaker. The October forum was featured as Industry Night, representatives of all industries and many businesses in Sudbury were present, and Secretary Howard Smith of the Executive office Of-Economic Affairs discussed the rebuilding of Massachusetts' economy. Telephone Local Se rvice - In late 1974, a group of Sudbury_ citizens filed -a petition with the Department of Public Utilities for extended area calling service for Sudbury subscribers of New England Telephone. The Selectment intervened on behalf of the Town, and Town Counsel has been.representing the Town and the petitioners. The hearings before the department of Public Utilities in 1975 clearly brought out that there were -substantial deficiences of service to Sudbury users compared to others. Calls to the continguous exchanges of Marlboro, Concord, Hudson, Lincoln, and Natick are toll calls, despite the telephone company's stated, but not implemented, policy of including contiguous exchanges as an integral part of Extended Local Service. The Department of Public Utilities order New England Telephone to 11 immediately commence a program to improve the basic service to Sudbury telephone subscribers 11, by providing interim, optional services at lower cost to contiguous exchanges. As the year closed, not even this interim service had yet been implemented, and testimony was yet to be completed on providing full Extended Local Service at no extra charge. of some of the other 15 to 20 items on a typical weekly meet Other Business - A glea~ing ing agenda shows: Sudbury 1 s first beano license was issued in The Town voted to join the National Flood Insurance Program, and based on the Town 1 s aerial maps, we appealed the proposed flood hazard boundary maps. The Town Engineer is now working with Federal officials to bring this protection to those whose property is affected. The disposal of the military reservation land is moving very slowly, and we are 11 s ticking with it. 11 We have recommended it become a State park faci 1 i ty in conj unction with surrounding towns and the State Department of Natural Resources. 8

10 At a tax possession parcel auction on October 18th, 16 lots were sold for $20,000 and put back on the tax rolls. We met many times with the Planning Board, Highway Commission, Personnel Board, Sudbus Transportation Committee, Park and Recreation Commission, Conservation Commission, Water Commission, Town Counsel, Town Clerk.and Treasurer, on one or more problems and issues facing the Town. State and Regional Issues- Individually and collectively, we continued to address state and regional issues at the appropriate forums. John Taft served a second term as Second Vice President of the Massachusetts selectmen's Association and was active on several Selectmen and League committees, including Tax Reform. He was also on the Governor's Local Government Advisory Committee and the State Tax Commission's Advisory Committee to assist in the implementation of the Sudbury revaluation decision. William Toomey also served on Selectment committees and was elected to the Executive Board of the Massachusetts League of Cities and Towns. John Powers is serving on the Selectmen's Legislative committee and was Sudbury's representative on the Middlesex County Advisory Board. We also continued.to work with other area selectmen last year on regional issues such as the escalating costs at the Minuteman Region31 Vocational Technical High School. That's how 1975 looked to the Selectmen of Sudbury - a lot happened, a lot was done, and there is always a lot more to do. The staff, the employees, the elected and appointed officials, and citizen volunteers all made it happen! We thank them all, and we invite them and you to join together to make 1976 another unforgettable year for Sudbury. Respectfully submitted, John E. Taft; William F. Toomey; John C. Powers Stepping out at the Grand Bicentennial Ball on the Fourth of July weekend.

11 TOWN OF SUDBURY Office of Selectmen Sudbury, Mass February 17, 1976 To: Town Clerk of Sudbury Subject: HIGHWAY INVESTIGATION REPORT In accordance with General Laws, Chapter 41, Section 238 As a result of a routine audit by the Town Accountant of the Highway records, in the spring of 1974 the Selectmen and the Highway Commission unanimously voted to retain the firm of Haskins & Sells, Certified Public Accountants, to make an investigative report of certain Highway Department records and forward the results to the Attorney General 1 s office for appropriate action. During the same time period, the Selectmen and the Highway Commission also unanimously voted: 1) on the scope of work that Haskins & Sells would perform and, 2) that all Highway records be impounded pending the investigation, because of an indication of destruction of certain records. The Haskins & Sells report highlighted the following items: A number of purchases were apparently made without observing the public bid requirements of General Laws, Chapter 40, Section 4(b). Town property was disposed of without the approval of the Selectmen, as required by Town bylaws, and without the usual reports concerning disposal procedures a~d proceeds received. Approximately tons of bituminous concrete was used to pave the Highway Department driveway and yard, instead of certain public ways, without town meeting approval of such action. In January, 1975, during a trial in Middlesex Superior Court, resulting from Middlesex County Grand Jury indictments, dated August 8, 1974, the following information was given by various witnesses: 1. Dump permit slips were requested, for audit purposes, and it was stated, at that time, none were available. 2. Later, the requested dump permit slips were found to exist. 3. An audit of the slips showed that all cash, paid for permission to dump in the Sanitary landfill, was not turned over to the Town Treasurer, as required by law. 4. Cash received from the sale of dump permit slips was held in the Highway Department office and used for various purposes. 5. A ledger book was maintained for the permit slips and cash receipts. However, it was destroyed at the direction of the Highway Department Superintendent. 6. It was known, by Highway Department personnel, that the retention and expenditure of the permit funds was in violation of law. In June, 1975, during the second trial in Middlesex Superior Court, resulting from Middlesex County Grand Jury indictments, dated August 8, 1974, the following information was given by various witnesses: 1. In the late winter and spring of 1975, scrap metal from the Sudbury Landfill was transported, by town vehicles, to another town and sold as scrap to a private dealer. 2. The proceeds of the sale were sent (in check form) to the Highway Department Garage Building, but were made payable to the Highway Superintendent, not the Town of Sudbury. 3. The Superintendent cashed the checks. 4. The proceeds of the checks were placed in an envelope, marked ''Personal'', and, kept in the Superintendent's desk drawer. 5. The cash was used, among other things, to purchase a Paul Revere bowl for a retiring Highway Commissioner and to pay for renovations to the Highway Garage Building. 10

12 6. The money should have been turned over to the Treasurer of the Town. The above referenced trials, held in Middlesex Superior Court, stern from Middlesex County Grand Jury indjctments of August 8, 1974, relating to larceny only, and did not address questions dealing with possible statutory violations, and, therefore, as noted later in this report, these matters were referred to the District Attorney's office, as required by law. The Board of Selectmen-, after further study and investigation on the above matter concluded: That funds of the Town were not deposited into the Town Treasury; That funds were expended without town meeting authorization; That public bidding requirements were not observed; That public records were destroyed; and That bills were paid improperly. A complete copy of the documents that are the basis for this report have been filed with the District Attorney in accordance with General Laws, Chapter 44, Section 62, and are on file as a public document, in the Town Clerk's office. A copy of the Haskins & Sel.ls investigative report, dated: July 8, 1974, is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. As a result of the investigation, the Selectmen recommended that the Highway Commission be abolished. At a Special Town Meeting held on December 15, 1975, the Town voted to abolish the Highway Commission. Respectfully submitted, BOARD OF SELECTMEN TOWN OF SUD~URY ' ~' irman ~~t, C WA4~ 1~7 ~( T 99"' Y Ct~ Powers HASKINS & SELLS Certified Publ ic Accountants 28 State Street Boston, Massachusetts CONFIDENTIAL Board of Selectmen~ Town of Sudbury, Town Hall, Sudbury, Massachusetts July 8, 1974 Attention of Mr. R. E. Thompson, Executive Secretary. Dear Sirs: In accordance with the request of Mr. R. E. Thompson, Executive Secretary of the Board of Selectmen, we performed certain procedures on the records of the Highway Department of the Town of Sudbury (Highway Department) for the period January I, 1972 through May 31; Our procedures included: Evaluation of internal control eve~ Department; cash receipts and disbursements of the Highway Comparison, on a test basis, of cash receipts recorded in the Highway Department records with the amounts recorded by the Town Treasurer (including evaluation of accounting and other controls employed at the sanitary land-fill site); Exami~ation, on a test basis, of payroll records and vendors' invoices supporting cash disbursements charged to the Highway Department; and Reading of major contracts awarded by the Highway Department for compliance with bidding procedures. 11

13 The aforementioned procedures do not constitute an audit made in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and accordingly we are not in a position to express and do not express an opinion on the financial statements of the Highway Department or the Town of Sudbury as a whole. We present the following comments in connection with the performance of our procedures. INTERNAL CONTROL We evaluated internal control over cash receipts and disbursements of the Highway Department. Our recommendations for improvement of internal control and accounting procedures of the Highway Department are the subject of a separate letter. CASH RECEIPTS The Highway Department receives cash from residents and others for services as described below and transfers such receipts to the Town Treasurer for deposit and recording in the general fund. We compared, on a test basis? cash receipts recorded in the Highway Department records wl th the amounts recorded by the Town Treasurer. Listed below, by source of receipt, are the results of our comparisons: Reclaimable Land-Fill Materials Although some records of shipments of reclaimable material are maintained by Highway Department personnel? they were generally inadequate and incomplete. Because of the inadequate and Incomplete records maintained at the land-fill site we were unable to determine the manner in Which scrap metal, reclaimable glass, and tin cans were disposed of or the amounts, if any, d~e the Town for the sale of such material. We reviewed correspondence received by the Town for some companies which were known to be picking up or receiving reclaimable materials from the land-fill site. Based on this correspondence, it appears that remittances to the Highway Department for scrap paper were transferred to the Treasurer. Correspondence from an area scrap dealer? however, indicated that scrap metal had been delivered to the dealer for the account of the Town of Sudbury and that checks in the amount of $1, had been issued to E. Blaine for such deliveries during March and April The Treasurer s records do not include these amounts as transfers from the Highway Department. We spoke to a representative of the scrap dealer who stated that the material was delivered to its yard but he was unwilling or unable to make a definitive statement as to the source of the material or ownership of the trucks making the deliveries. Land-Fill Permits Copies of receipts for land-fill permits of the Highway Department for the period January, I, 1972 through February 1973 were missing and/or incomplete. As a result, we were unable to compare Highway Department receipts for the aforementioned period to the amount, $1,744, recorded by the Treasurer. For the period March I, 1973 through December 31, 1973 Highway Department records indicate that approximately $1,917 was collected as receipts for land-fill permits. The Treasurer s records indicate that $1,431 was received from the Highway Department for deposit during this period. We were unable to reconcile the difference of $486 between the Highway Department and Treasurer s records. Commencing January 1, 1974 fees are not being charged for land-fill permits. Street Opening Permits Street opening permits are not prenumbered and, as a result, we were unable to determine the number of permits issued during the period January I, 1972 through May 31, We did locate copies of two permits issued during 1973 indicating that $20 had been received by the Highway Department. The Treasurer s records, however, indicated that only $10 was transferred from the Highway Department for deposit during We were unable to reconcile the $10 difference between the Highway Department and Treasurer 1 s records. The Treasurer s records do not show any transfers from the Highway Department for street opening permits for 1972 or for the period January 1 through May 31, Sale of Street Signs No records are maintained by the Highway Department for the sale of street signs to residents on unaccepted roads. As a result, we were not able to compare Highway Department rereipts for sale of street signs to the amount, $175, recorded in the Treasurer's records-. Cemetery Labor, Lowerings, Foundations and Cremation Fees The Highway Department does not maintain adequate records of amounts received for cemetery services and cremation fees. As a result, we were not able to compare Highway Department receipts for cemetery services and cremation fees to the Treasurer s records. The Treasurer s records indicate $4,584 was transferred from the Highway Department for cemetery services and cremation fees for the period January 1, 1972 through May 31, Sale of Cemetery Lots We c'ompared the amounts due the Town for the sale of lots as recorded in the cemetery deed book to the amounts recorded by the Treasurer as t.ransfers from the Highway Department for the sale of cemetery lots and found them to be in agreement. 12

14 CASH DISBURSEMENTS CHARGED TO THE HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT Payroll We tested wages paid in 1972 and 1973 by direct confirmation with Highway Department employees. For individuals who terminated their employment between January 1, 1973 and May 31, 1974, we agreed the date of termination on the termination notice to the date the termination was effective per the payroll register. We were nqt able to apply this procedure to 1972 terminations as the Highway Department apparently did not maintain personnel files or make use of termination notices prior to January 1, On a test basis, we agreed the hourly rates and salaries of employees to union pay rate schedules and salary schedules. Vendors Invoices We examined all vendors invoices in excess of $1~000 and examined, on a test basis, some invoices of lesser amount for the period January I, 1972 to May 31, Our procedures were directed toward the propriety of the payments and compliance, where applicable, with Town bidding requirements. In connection with our testing, we read copies of all legal notices inviting bids for Highway Department purchases, read copies of major contracts awarded, and read minutes of Town Meetings and Highway Commission meetings (other than executive sessions) all for the period January 1, 1972 through May 31, For the_ items selected, we examined vendors' invoices and, where applicable, purchase orders, requiests for payment, bid notices, and evidences of receipts. Our testing of Highway Department purchases disclosed the following: 1. Bidding Procedures and Related Matters A number of purchases apparently exceeded the $2,000 limit established by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts under General Laws, Chapter 40 Section 4(b), for exemption from bidding regulations. These exceptions are as follows: a) Purchase of stone and gravel in 1972 exceeded $2,000 but we were unable to locate any records of bids or contract for purchases. In many instances the vendors' invoices for such purchases were not supported by receiving records and in one instance an invoice for $2,989 could not be located in the Highway Department files. However, a copy of the invoice was on file at the Town accountant's office. b) Heavy equipment and an operator were rented from one vendor several times over a three month period in 1972 for an aggregate cost of more than $6,000. Although the equipment was rented for work on a number of roads, the services provided by the vendor were essentially of the same nature. c) Payments for grass cutting to one vendor exceeded $3,000 in d) Purchases of material and services from one vendor aggregating $2,213 were billed to the Town on two invoices with the same date in The material and services appeared to be similar in nature but were charged to two different expense accounts. e) Purchase of snow plows and related parts in 1972 amounted to $2,172. f) During January and February 1972 sand was being purchased under a contract for $2.00 per ton. However, we also noted purchases of sand from another vendor for $2.75 per ton. We were not able to locate documentation to support the purchases at the higher amount. g) During June and August 1973 and January 1974, the Highway Department purchased four mobile two-way radios for an aggregate cost of $2,850 from two suppliers. Public invitation for bids for the purchase of mobile radios was made in April 1974 somet-ime after the initial purchases but no additional radios were purchased as a result of this invitation. The two radios purchased from one suppli~r in June and August cost $675 each. The two radios_purchased from another supplier in January cost $750 each. As of June 5, 1974, one of the radios was stored in the original package in the Highway Department garage. If the original intent was to purchase four radios, the entire purchase was subject to the bidding regulations. h) Purchases of heating oil exceeded $2,000 in 1973 but we were unable to locate invitation for bids. i) Charges for installing lighting in the Highway Department garage were billed to the Town by one vendor over a six-month period on five separate invoices aggregating $3,238. We examined a copy of a quote from the vendor estimating the cost of the work to be $3,266 but were unable to locate a public invitation to bid on the work. I 2. Other Matters a) During 1972 the Highway Department replaced the engines in two trucks. As a result of inquiries with Highway Department personnel, we were informed that the old engines were functional and apparently had some residual value. However, we were unable to determine the manner of disposition of the old engines. b) During 1973 the Highway Commission, after publicly inviting bids, awarded a contract for bituminous concrete in place. Based on our reading of correspondenc~. minutes of meetings, etc., it appears that the Highway Commission planned to pave Concord, Hudson, and Green Hill Roads. Our review of the vendors' invoices and the related receiving documents and inquiry of Highway Department personnel disclosed that approximately 376 tons of bjtuminous concrete cost- 13

15 ing $9,000 were used to pave the Highway Department driveway and yard. It does not appear that this expenditure was approved at the Annual Town Meeting as part of the Highway Department budget. The invoice for paving the Highway Department driveway and yard was charged to two appropriations, Chapter 90 - maintenance and roadwork - materials. The distribution of the invoice is questionable as the work was neither Chapter 90 work nor roadwork. The distribution of other invoices under this contract was, in some instances, split between two general ledger accounts. It appears that the account distribution was determined by the unexpended balances in the accounts and not based on the purpose of the expenditure. If the distribution of the invoices-under this contract had been based on t.he purpose of the expenditure, the Highway Department would have been overexpended in the Roadwork Materials account. Although distribution of the invoices is questionable, it appears that the Town received the material and services for which it was billed. c) Many purchase orders in excess of $1,000 were not approved by the Highway Commission although the Commission initiated such a policy in May * * * * * * * * * * * We would be pleased to discuss any of the above comments with you in detail at your convenience.

No complaints were received and no violations were observed. Respectfully submitted, James H Malonson, Chairman; Edwin Blackey; Theodore Kohane; Carmine Pinto; John McKenna HIGHWAY C0~1MISSION This is the final report of the ~ighway Commission. As a result of a 19-month campaign of rumors, innuendo, and di stortion, t.he Hi-ghway Commission was abolished at the December 15, 1975 Special Town Meeting. Our office will cease to exist on March 29, ACCOUNTING SCANDAL The much quoted Haskins and Sells (H&S) investigation is required by statute to be printed in thi s Town Report. When reading lt, the citizen should be aware of some facts. The H&S investigation ls not an audit. It is a preliminary investigation in which the Highway Commission was never consulted for explanation as they would have been in a real audit. The investigation cost about $6,000. A real audit would have cost over $30,000. The Commission has consistently objected to the $6,000 investigation being called the $30,000 audit. Superintendent Edward Blaine started work on November 16, Most of the violations cited by Haskins and Sells occurred before Mr. Blaine came to the department and before four of the present Commissioners were elected. 16

18 The Commission's first chance to respond to the charges came on July 7, The Commission did not even see the report before June, 1975 because the Attorney General had it for the larceny trials of the Superintendent. Responses made on July 7 were based on inadequate records becaqse many of our records were still missing after the larceny trials. Although responses were updated as we received more and more of our records back, at the time of this report all invoices, payment records, and delivery receipts from Starrett Paving Company (roadwork and Chapter 90 accounts), all invoices and payment records from Whitehall Electrfc (Highway Garage wiring), and the 1973 correspondence files with the Selectmen, the Town Counsel, the Town Accountant, and the Town Engineer have not been returned to us. These records were seized in May, 1974 without a warrant and without permission of either the Commission or the Superintendent. This seizure was contested in court but overruled because the office where they w~re kept belonged to the Town, and the prosecuting attorney offered that the seizure was legal because it was not made by law enforcement officials (Trial 1 Transcripts pp. 118, 119). The objections in the Haskins and Sells report fall into three basic categories: potential embezzlement, bidding violations, and the source of funds for the Highway driveway. POTENTIAL EMBEZZLEMENT--Superintendent Blaine was found not guilty of larceny arising from the $487 from landfill permits used as a contingency fund to back up the petty cash fund. As the trial transcripts will verify, in December, 1973, srx months before the landfill receipts audit by the Town Accountant, when Mr. Blaine discovered that the contingency fund ledger contained unsubstantiated entries including a $200 entry for tonic, he ordered the bookkeeper to destroy the contingency fund ledger and discontinued the contingency fund. In July, 1975 the Commission established a policy to have all cash handled at Town Hall thereby preventing cash embezzlement accusations in the future. (The Commission has not attempted to defend the destruction of records charges based on the ledger incident but has preferred to let the District Attorney make his judgement based on the surrounding circumstan-ces covered in the trial testimony. Another destruction of records charge arises from the destruction of a duplicate set of permits. Mr. Blaine testified that he did not order their destruction. Bookkeeper Hopkins, who handled permit money and who with Office Manager Hawes posted entries into the contingency fund ledger, which balanced to the permits, testified that Mr. Blaine did order her to destroy the duplicate permits. The original permits were in the Highway Department offices when Mr. Wilson made the audit in May, 1974). The second larceny trial arose from the $ in scrap metal checks made out to E. Blaine. Mr. Blaine was found not guilty on this matter in June, The money was used to remodel the Highway Department offices. The Town By-Law requiring all fees" to be turned over to the treasurer was disqualified by the judge because landfill receipts legally are not fees (Transcript p. 56). However, last spring the Commission established a three-part form to control money coming in and property leaving the Highway Commission's domain. After the H&S recommendations, this form was changed to a five-part form with the notice "Make all checks payable to the Town of Sudbury" printed in boldface near the amount to be tendered in order to prevent future payment of checks to individuals. BIDDING VIOLATIONS--The bidding statute requires that purchases of over $2,000 in one year from one vendor must be bid~ The statute excepts emergencies involving the public health or safety such as the $6,000 bulldozer rental which was necessary to keep the landfill open. No legal ruling has been made on whether $3,000 was the allowable base for the bidding statute during the 18-month budget period in a case like Whitehall Electric for wiring the Highway Garage. Nevertheless, in July, 1975, despite objections. from Town Hall, the Commission established a ledger-by-vendor i_n which all orders are posted into a vendor file to flag vendors with whotl] $2,000 worth of business is about to be done. This ledger has already caught one potential bidding violation. The purchasing policy established in the spring of 1975 has al-so caught a s ltuatfon i.n which the Commission may have been accused of splitting the cost of a project between two fi"scal years. The Commission- is the only department in town with a purchasing policy and a ledger by vendor, as well as an up-to-date encumbrance report and prenumbered purchase order forms. In October, the Town Accountant told the Commission in open session before the press that the intent of the bidding statute was not to prosecute people for inadvertently exceeding the $2,000 limit if the item in question would not predictably have exceeded $2,000, or if the $2,000 figure was exceeded and the item was bid the following year. By this standard, the Commission has complied with the bidding statutes in the cases cited by Hasklns and Sells. DRIVEWAY FUNDING--The Attorney General's Office had a copy of the Haskins and Sells report when charges against Mr. Blaine were drafted. Although the Attorney General prosecuted the larceny cases of $487 and of $1269, and although thousands of dollars were involved in the driveway pavement, the Attorney General did not charge either Mr. Blaine or the Commission with misappropriation in this matter. Since the Starrett Paving records were missing when the Commission made its rebuttal to the Haskins and Sells charges on July 7, 1975, the Commission took test borings on the driveway and estimated that 519 tons of bituminous concrete were used to pave the Highway Garage 17

19 driveway. At a contract price of $10.37 per ton in place, the total cost was estimated to be $5, The Commission requested the Town Accountant to recreate the dollar amounts clted by Haskins and Sells. No such data was ever sent to the Commission. The following Information became available early in December, 1973 CHAPTER 90 ACCOUNT Concord Road North, purchase order # Concord Road, North, purchase order # Hudson Road, Purchase orders #73-721, Total Chapter 90 expense Less: Chapter 90 appropriation Balance Chapter 90 taken from Roadwork $12, , , $27, , $ 2, This data shows that the driveway was not funded by Chapter 90. Also 11 extra miles of street resurfacing was done under Roadwork Materials (Account ) before any money was spent on the driveway. Since the Roadwork materials account has continuously been used for paving Town property (e.g., Town Hall parking lot, cemetery roadways, and school driveways), the use of this account for the Highway Garage driveway is consistent with past accounting for the Highway Garage driveway is consistent with past accounting practice. BUDGET AND TOWN MEETING The Highway Department budget was cut below its previous year's budget for the second year in a row. Big cuts can be made in capital budgets like the Highway Department's, but eventually these large expenditures will have to be made. Big cuts were made by voting down the $42,000 street sweeper -and by our own cut in the stone sealing program. Road surfacing dropped from $135,000 in fiscal 1974 to $53,000 in 1975, the balance to be made up in $50,000 worth of drainage work to test the existing systems, This drainage work was refused by the Finance Committee as a new program and reintroduced as Article 34, which was defeated at Annual Town Meeting. The big challenge in future budgets will be the lack of any road construction or maintenance reimbursements from the state. The final reimbursements from Chapter 765 (successor to Chapter 90) will be paid in fiscal No additional funding is pending. Article 33, Discontinuance of Codjer Lane as a Public Way, was indefinitely postponed. The Commission tried to discontinue Codjer Lane as a public way in order to prevent the Town from having to assume the cost of building an expensive industrial access road over Hop Brook and a railroad crossing to the industrial district. This obligation was tagged at $280,000 in Article 35 passed $83,000 for construction and reconstruction of surface drains on Beechwood Ave, Elmwood Avenue, Arborwood Avenue, Birchwood Avenue, Willis Lake Drive, and Basswood Avenue. This construction is now in progress. OTHER BUSINESS In addition to extensive work on the complex problems raised by the Haskins and Sells report, the Commission has been working on other ways to assure that the tax dollar is being ~ spent efficiently. The Commission has worked with the Personnel Board to build a complete set of job descriptions for the department and to prepare a report showing the minimum personnel required for economical and effective provision of services. These documents will be the source for the:manntng document which the Commission hopes to draft before it terminates business in March. The Commission drafted tree regulations last spring which have been reviewed by and with the Selectmen, but which still have not been accepted. Tree removal continued, but 196 Dutch elms remain in the p~bltc ways. The Commission i s still awa{ting an opanaon from Town Counsel on the Cemetery rules and regulations which were drafted last spring to conform t9 ~tate statute~... Title search continues on the va.ult$. on Concord Road ln order that they rnay be rep~lred. A new road from New Town Cemetery to th.e i:nters.e.ct{"on c:tf Cqndy th11 Road and Concord Roads was requested in the budget i-n order to make entry to the cemetery safer~ Vandalism of signs continues to be a problem. This year the Commission instituted the practice of painting school signs on the pavement in order to cut the cost of replacing stolen signs. Line painting was expanded to painting curb 1 ines -in order to prevent people from going off the road. However, the vinyl markings which appeared at local railroad crossings were applied by a state contractor. Recycling has continued at the landfill although it has declined and the prices for scrap have deteriorated severely. A landfill report prepared by the Town Engineer was accepted early this year. The Commission supports combining efforts with Wayland on the landfill because of the spac~ which will be added if the towns combine their landfill space. (Slope requiements for landfills will leave a big void between them if they are not combined). However, the Commission has preferred to wait until the Septage Disposal Agreement is settled and working before embarking on another agreement with Wayland. Snowfences were installed at the landfijj in order to prevent debris from blowing onto the Post Road. Workers at the 18

20 landfill have suffered both verbal and physical abuse when they attempt to entorce the State and local Board of Health regulations which prohibit scavenging. We hope that the public will understand the situation which the men face when they try_ to enforce these regulations. The Commission will revoke landfill permits of those who do not cooperate. The Horsepond Road walkway was learned and seeded this spring and the railroad crossing segment of that walkway was completed in December. The Hudson Road walkway has been completed going east from the proposed Pitchel walkway connection near Churchill Street to World War 1 Park in Sudbury Center. The Woodside Road walkway was completed last summer. Complaints were made about the Warren Road walkway last summer and fall. The Department installed some telephone poles as a guardrail but hit a conduit. Commissioner Griffin has worked with the Walkway Study and Planning Committee on this and other matters. Highway work continued with 125 miles of street sweeping and 8.2 miles of stone sealing. The department constructed 12 miles of berms with a homemade machine. The Farmer 1 s Almanac predictions of a rough December and January for snow removal were fulfilled. A battery of wet Northeasters followed by sub-zero freezes caused the worst ice buildup on roads in years. We hope that the Almanac is correct about February and March being easy because 2/3 of the snow removal funds were gone on January 6, Th~ Commission was sorry to hear of the resignation of John Hare as Chairman and as a Commissioner on September 2. On October 14 Robert Phelps was elected to fill his seat. We thank Or. Daniel Bizer, Mr. Sidney Self, and Mr. Robert Stocking for their interest in applying for this vacancy. We thank all of the employees and Town boards and officials who have cooperated with us and the members of the press who objectively covered our meetings during this very difficult year. We especially thank Assistant Superintendent John Lindgren and Operations Assistant Robert Noyes for the many hours spent above and beyond the call of duty during the prolonged suspension of the Superintendent, which ended on July I, Respectfully submitted, Anthony L. Galeota, Chairma.n; Frederick W. W_elch, Vice Chairman; Ronald J. Griffin; Martha Coe, Clerk; Robert Phelps requested that his siqnature be withheld. TOWN COUNSEL'S REPORT 1975 was a year of challenge for the Town Counsel 1 s office. On the State level it was the year to insure that progress was made in the implementation of the Sudbury Decision, rendered by the Supreme Judicial Court on December 24, Within the town, it was the year In which events sparked major changes in public works organization, in handling subdivision completion problems, and in working out coll.ective bargaining agreements was non-discriminatory in that all parts of your municipal government were involved with substantial problems to be solved. The law seems to touch all aspects of human endeavor and we were asked to assist mas~ of the town departments,_ in issues of septic sludge disposal, teacher hiring and firing, the s ale of old tires and scrap metal, the purchase of land for conservation purposes, the sale of t~x possession property, tax title foreclosure, hawker and peddler control, school bussing (~ho is entitled to it), traffic rules and orders, garage sale signs, telephone calling areas, Sudbus, Flood Insurance, Beano, and many more. During 1975, 65 legal opinions were rendered and the town was involved in litigation in the following Courts: Supreme Judicial Court The Appeals Court Superior Court District Courts Appellate Tax Board 2 cases 1 case 23 cases 4 cases 56 cases The ever present challenge to keep Warrants Short, generally not within Town Counse1 1 s control, was met with 1 imited success. All articles and motions were revi'ewed and put in proper form. The Town Meeting experience again proved the w~rth of the system. In 1975, Town Counsel was assisted by Mrs. Janet Silva, his administrative organizer, Mr. Gerald Palmer, a law student from Northeastern Universi'ty School of law, and Mr. Thomas French, Assistant to Town Counsel. The cooperation and assistance of Mrs. Silva, Mr. Palmer and Mr. French and the friendship and cooperative spirit of most of the town officials provided the basis for a productive and rewarding year. Respectfully submitted, David Lee Turner 19

21 SUDBURY BUS TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE The Committee was created by action of the 1974 Annual Town Meeting to "establish and operate a system of public transportation for the Town of Sudbury. 11 Operations were begun on February 22, 1975, with service provided by Big W Trans of Ashland. Two busses were operated for eight hours per day, six days per week, over seven routes covering most of the Town. A fare of 25 per ride was charged, the receipts being used to partially offset the contract payments of $9.85 per hour per bus. Multi-r.ide ticket books providing a slightly discounted fare were also offered. Our initial experience was good. Patronage during the first few weeks was on the range of 800 to 1100 rides per week. Accordingly, we requested $45,000 from the 1975 Annual Town Meeting to continue service through fiscal An amendment by the Selectmen on the Town Meeting floor reduced the amount to $25,000, and the article was passed as amended. The lower figure meant that patronage would have to remain high if service were to survive, since significant income from fares would be required. In fact, patronage did not remain high. With the onset of spring weather it fell off dramatically. The Committee tried several schedule changes and route modifications in an attempt to halt the decline, but with the end of the school year the situation worsened alarmingly. Patronage in July fell to fewer than 200 rides per week. To conserve funds, the Committee decided at the beginning of August to suspend operations. In the Fall the Commonwealth announced plans for the distribution of matching grants to up to five towns for the operation of experimental public transportation systems. The Committee applied for a grant with a proposal calling for a fixed-route system considerably smaller than the one operated last year. As this is written (January), we have still received no official notification in response to our proposal, but it appears unlikely that we will receive a grant, since some grants have already been announced. Assuming failure to get State money, the Committee was forced to do with the approximately $23,000 of fiscal 1976 funds remaining. Even if we were to resume operations as quickly as possible, we would not have enough experience by the time of the Annual Town Meeting to allow us to say with any certainty whether the service should or should not be continued. Since the experience would be practically valueless in making a decision about next year, we have decided to await the action of the Town Meeting. If the Town Meeting decides to continue, we can begin operations before the end of the fiscal year, since this year 1 s money is still available. If the Town 1 s decision is not to continue, none of the remaining fiscal 1976 funds will be spent. Alan H. Grathwohl of Stubtoe Lane was appointed by the Selectmen to replace Paul Wishengrad, who did not seek reappointment to the Committee. Respectfully submitted, Robert K. Coe, Chairman; Paul J. Buxbaum; Alan H. Grathwohl ~10DERATOR (Clay Allen photo) In keeping with the necessity of brevity in town reports, I will be very brief. I am pleased to report that in 1975, the open town meeting form of government in Sudbury worked, and worked well, for another year. My thanks to all who helped, especially the voters who attended and participated. Respectfully submitted, Frank Sherman 20

22 TALENT SEARCH COMMITTEE The Talent Search Committee was established to provide the appointing officials in Sudbury Town Government with up-to-date lists of those citizens interested in serving our town. In past years the committee has tried various Advertising and list maintenance techniques. This year the committee has endeavored to consolidate its gains by formalizing its operating procedures. The categorization of interest areas and a pilot computer centered list maintenance system have provided the capability of producing lists of those who have expressed interests in specific categories. These 11 Tai lored 1 I ists have been well received by the Selectmen, Moderator and other town committees. SIGN REVIEW BOARD Respectfully submitted, James W. Doyle; Freda E. Doyle; Priscilla T. Harding; William R. Harding; Joseph P.

28 1975 FINANCE COMMITTEE REPORT There j s one concern th.a_t perv"'des this year~s Town Meeting - the state of the economy. Neighbors and fr-i ends- a.re without jobs, prices rise without bound and the taking of property for tax delinquency has reached n_ew hi ghs. The Finance Commi'ttee is made up of citizens, just 1 ike any other ci'tizens of Sudbury, and we are aware of these difficult times. We would have liked, therefore, to demonstrate our concern by predicting no increase in taxes for next year, but we are faced with too many uncertainties to provide any_ guarantees. As a result, we must carefully qualify our remarks and provide you with all the information at our disposal so that each of you can assess the impact of every one of your votes on your taxes. The tax rate established by the Assessors is based on total appropriations, reimbursements and other offsets, and the Town 1 s assessed valuation. After this Town Meeting is concluded we will have determined two of the major elements which contribute to the total appropriations; the budget and the cost of articles. The remaining elements in the appropriations are the Assessors 1 overlay, and state and county assessments. The Assessors will determine the overlay and, even though the finance Committee can estimate this account, the state and county assessments are any-body 1 s guess. The reimbursements to the Town are equally unknown and include Federal Revenue Sharlng, State funds identified on the Cherry Sheet, School and Highway receipts, free cash, and others. Even the Town 1 s assessed valuation can only be estimated at this time. Recognizing all this uncertainty we can proceed to consider our financial position ~nd potential tax rate. The Finance Committee budget recommendations are, prior to salary negotiations, equal to a total of $6,782,610 excluding the Sudbury School budget. Unfortunately, the Sudbury School budget was in a state of flux when these comments were prepared and, as a result, we were faced with one more uncertainty in our attempt to estimate the tax rate. Two figures have been mentioned at School Committee meetings, a low budget of $4,080,000 and a high budget of $4,200,000, both without negotiated salary increases. On the basis of the current information, therefore, we must carry forth two budget totals, an amount of $10,862,610 and $10,982,610 - the difference being due to the unknown school budget request. The other expenses which must be included in the gross appropriation are overlay (and overlay deficit}, salary increases, State and County assessment, and the cost of warrant articles. Overlay is estimated at $130,000 and State and County assessments for last year were $683,603. The total cost of all warrant articles submitted exceeded $400,000 but the Finance Committee is recommending approval of warrant articles with a cost of only $93,849 (subject to further hearings on selected articles). Thus, the total appropriation may be almost $1,000,000 above the budget voted at Town Meeting. Now, however, let us consider the positive side of the financial picture, offsets to these appropriations. First, the Cherry Sheet- last year in the amount of $2,001,679. If the State's financial condition does not worsen and the State meets its obligations we may get the same amount as last year. On the other hand, we may get less. But let 1 s be optimistic - let 1 s assume the same as las.t year. In addition to the Cherry Cheet we can transfer $100,000 from Overlay Reserve to cover the appropriation for the Reserve Fund, we expect $180,000 in Federal Revenue Sharing, School and Highway receipts may amount to more than $70,000, estimated receipts should be approximately $700,000, Free Cash should be $350,000 and a group of miscellaneous receipts may total $13,642. The net result is an optimistic estimated offset of $3,422,997. There is only one more part of the puzzle, the assessed valuation of the Town 1 s property. The Finance Committee has been estimating an assessed valuation of $169,000,000, but the true assessed valuation will be determined by the AssesSors. Putting all of these figures together produces the following result- a tax rate between -$ and $ Before we all breathe a sigh of relief and congratulate ourselves on a job well done it would be wise to reflect on the conditions that will be necessary to hold the Town s tax rate near this level - only if the FinanCe Committee budget recommendations are not exceeded if the School Committee votes a budget of no more than $4,100,000 if the cost of warrant articles does not exceed $100,000 if the State and County assessments are equal to last year 1 s if the Cherry Sheet does not show a reduction in Sudbury 1 s share If the Town 1 s assessed valuation exceeds $169,000,000 then and only then will the tax rate be maintained. This information is not presented to frighten anyone or force a negative vote on any money issue. The facts are presented to permit you to assess the impact of your vote on the Town s finances. Increased taxes may be necessary or even desirable depending upon the increased services they provide and your personal evaluation of the need, It is fair to say that the Finance Committee recommendations are austere, representing no new hires and no increase or improvement in services. If you want additional services then recognize the need to pay for those services and vote accordingly. 27

29 One final note that bears on the Fi_nance COITITiittee 1 s respansibili_ty tq th.e Town. It is often asked- Why does the Finance Committee always have samethi'ng to sa_y even when there is no money i nvolved1 Tb.e answer i s fn tfle Town Bylaws.

We must res-pond to all ~rrant articles and we try to do so briefly and responsibly. We are appointed by the Moderator as an inde_pendent and objective committee to bring the facts before you at these Town Meeti-ngs and we sincerely try to serve you well.

31 huffian S RVJC S BOARD OF HEALTH This brief report will ekplain some of the activities of the board during the year 1975, in which there were 23 regular meetings. CLINICS: Under contract fr-om the Board of Health, the Sudbury Public Health Nursing Association conducted 12 Well Child CHnics in which 71 children were examined. In the School Immunization Cl lnic 164 T.D., 18 Measles/Mumps/Rubella and 28 Mumps immunizations were administared by the S.P.H.N.A. nurses. In addition 622 children received tuberculosis tests. In the Adult lnvnunization Clinic, S.P.H.N.A. admini-stered 3 Smallpox, 8 D.T., 1 Typhoid, 1 Tetanus, as well as giving 197 tuberculosis tests and 4 doses of gamma globulin. 237 people were given the flu vaccine. There were 66 Geriatric Clinics attended by 73 persons. COMMUNICABLE DISEASE CONTROL: S.P.H.N.A. carried out the required follow-up on 8 cases of reportable diseases. These included tuberculosis, hepatitis and salmonellosis. The annual rabies clinic was held in May and 238 dogs were vaccinated. In cooperation with the 4H Club, the second encephalitis immunization clinic for horses was held on April 11, 1975 at which time 87 horses were vaccinated at their owners 1 expense. There were no cases of Equine Encephalitis in Sudbury during the year. SUBSURFACE SEWAGE DISPOSAL: Continuing implementation of the new regulations has resulted in what the Board feels is a definite improvement in the quality and design of septic systems both for residential and commercial uses. This year saw a greater number of large systems installed than is usual. These included the Housing for the Elderly project, Wayside Inn and Wayside Plaza. SANITARY LANDFILL: Improvements have been made at the landfill with close Board of Health supervision and excellent Highway Department cooperation. The state has approved the first and second year plans of operation as submitted by the Town Engineer. HOP BROOK WATER QUALITY: The board continued its monitoring of water quality in Hop Brook during 1975, the first full year of operation of Marlboro 1 s Easterly Sewage Treatment Plant. Data obtained are presented in the graph below. The decline in ammonia nitrogen indicates a somewhat more complete digestion of sewage being treated by the plant before the effluent is discharged to the stream. Other indicators continued at about the 1974 levels.

Specialty roles have been incorporated to enhance particular areas. Mrs. Parrott was enrolled in an Adult Nurse Practitioner program to bring a more contemporary approach to the the care of senior citizens and adults in the Community. Complementary services on the other end of the age spectrum were provided by the Pediatric Nurse Practitioner, Joan Kimball, whose skills and experience have proved to be an invaluable asset to both Well Child Clinic and School Health Services and, in particular, Chapter 766 assessments. The response of those individuals who have had occasion to use these specialty services indicates that this is a move in the right direction in fulfilling the objectives of current health care delivery. BOARD OF HEALTH The Sudbury Public Health Nursing Association saw 114 ambulatory senior citizens in 576 visits to the 66 clinics that were held during the year. In addition, flu vaccine was given to a total of 237 residents, including 113 over 50 years of age (the age category recommen~ed by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health) at the Flu Clinic in the Fall. The remaining Community and Immunization Clinic data are contained in the report of the Board of Health. In other Health Maintenance Services a total of 905 home visits were made In the categories of mental health guidance, health promotion, maternity, infants and communicable disease control. The Hypertension Clinic The Hypertension Clinic is a fulfillment of our goal to reach the total population of Sudbury. Our initial Hypertension screening clinic was held on November 20, 1975 after a lengthy period of preparatory work in the formulation of a proposal and intensive training for the volunteers involved in the screening process. 31

33 The. criteria used in the d~tection of Hypertension in this program was developed after researching many resources and IS essentially based on the Veteran s Administration Hypertension Research Program which has revolutionized the treatment of hypertension for the purpose of reducing death and disability from stroke and heart attack. In any screening process of this nature the American Heart Association predicts a 15% positive find. However, to date the results of our Hypertension screening in Sudbury have shown greater than 30% hypertensives in this community. Data collection and analysis has not been completed, but all signs point to the fact that Sudbury residents are a vulnerable population. Because of these findings the program will be developed further and additional screening clinics held in the community. Since this has proved to be a costly venture, the Sudbury Public Health Nursing Association boldly submitted their clinic proposal to the United Way of Massachusetts Bay requesting funding. We are pleased to announce that this request has been approved in the form of a one time, non-recurring grant of $15,000 to support a continued screening, referral and follow-up program. The follow-up program will concentrate on reducing risk factors in the form of weight reduction, smoking withdrawal, nutrition counselling and relaxation methods. In addi.tion, support toward primary prevention in the adolescent wi 11 receive emphasis. It is heartening to know that this effort put into creative health care delivery is being recognized in a manner that will not place an additional burden on the Sudbury tax payer. SCHOOL HEALTH SERVICES The Association anticipated a marked increase in the use of the school health rooms in 1975 because of economic factors affecting many families in the community. Therefore, an increased number of hours were budgeted for the schools. Our estimation proved to be accurate as there have been approximately 3600 more health room visits by students this year. All students were screened for vision and hearing; tuberculin testing and immunizations were offered to the appropriate grade levels. School nursing still accounts for about 60% of the agency time. The actual school visits, including emergency calls, is just one aspect of school nursing. The remaining time is spent in visiting parents or in conferences with students, school personnel, clinic personnel or physicians and in assessments of children with special needs. THERAPEUTIC SERVICES: HOME CARE The demand for bedside nursing services has continued to increase. The trend toward increased home care as a less expensive alternative to high cost hospital care requires a more varied program of services in the home. Thi"s has prompted us to hire a part-time Home Health Aide to aomplement the nurslng services in this area. The Physical therapy case load has also markedly increa_sed over the past year. Serious consi-deration will have to be given to additional nursing staff if the present trend continues. It would be t-mpos-sj'ble to complete this report without gi'ving recognition to the volunteer services that have contributed so much to the success -of many programs of the Sudbury Public Health Nursing Assodatlon. A total of 880 volunteer hours were given in 1975 to multiple programs offered by the Agency. We are extremely greatful for this generous and untiring support. To all others who have contri-buted their support to a successful year our sincere gratitude. ' Respectfully submitted, Gloria Stoccardo Powaza VETERANS' AGENT Assistance to veterans was furnished thi.s year for a variety of requests dealing with bonus eligibility for Vietnam Veterans given by the State, educational benefits, and service as well as non-service connected pensions for veterans, widows and dependents. Forms are furnished and processed when required to obtain these benefits. I attended the.annual convention of the Veterans Agent Association of Massachusetts, at which agents are brought up to date on legislation and regulations affecting veterans. As Veterans Graves Officer, I placed markers and flags on veterans graves in each of the town's cemeteries, and applied for headstones and burial benefits for those veterans who died during the year.

Robert Drtnan, and present or former Housing Authority members, Doug Miranda, Willie Hoover, Dallas Hayes, Dick Faxon, Lorraine Bauder, Myron Fox, and Bob W.illtams. (Ted Davison photo) COUNCIL ON AGING During Its second year of operation the Council has worked on several new and on-going projects as follows: A program has been started to provide free Medic-Alert bracelets for elderly persons with specific physical problems. Free bus trips for shopping on the second Wednesday of each month take the elderly to Shoppers World and Natick Mall. Emergency medical identification cards became available to all citizens of Sudbury over 60 years of age. In addi-tion to providing emergency medical information, this card serves as identification to enable the elderly to take advantage of discounts offered by a variety of merchants in the Sudbury area. The Council on Aging backed the Town's request for $100,000 of federal funds for use on the Haskell Land Grant in making It a recreation park for the elderly. The Council introduced a bill in the State Senate to lower the age for a free fishing license to sixty years_ of age instead of seventy. The sum of $560 extra in the budget was requested (and has been partially approved) to fund transportation for shopping purposes for residents of the elderly housing project. Council chairmen from five surrounding towns met with the new director of Cushing Hospital who discussed the possibility of converting some unused buildings to small temporary apartments for the use of elderly people released from hospitals but not yet able to carry on by themselves. The apartments would be avai Table for a nominal fee.and meals and medical care would be part of the! program. The Public Health Nursing Association provided free flu shots and a free hypertension screeening clinic for senior citizens. A clinic for this purpose is held once a month at the White Building. Socially the Drop-in Center at Memorial Congregational Church has been very active this year. The Center is open to all over sixty years of age on Fridays from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. with a nurse in attendance from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00p.m. The first anniversary of the Center was celebrated in April by a luncheon given by an active group of Drop-in Center ladies as an expression of appreciation to the hostesses. A summer picnic was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Roos. A boat trip around Boston Harbor was another highlight enjoyed by all. The ladies of Our Lady of Fatima sponsored a senior citizens luncheon. Drop-in Center people were guests of the Women's Association of Memorial Congreational Church for a Christmas tea and musical program. Throughout the year slides and movies of t'he United States, Hawaii and Europe have been shown by George Seale. Turkeys were donated by the Guaranty-First Trust Company. for a turkey drawing at Thanksgiving and again at Christmas. And on the last Friday of each month those having birthdays during that month are honored by a cake provided by Marrone's Bake Shop. The Council on Aging feels that definite progress is being made in identifying the needs of Sudbury senior citizens and to design, promote and implement services to full these needs.

35 SUDBURY HOUSING AUTHORITY 1975 Memorial Day Ceremonies were followed by a ground breaking for Musketahquid Village, the Sudbury Hous i ng Authority 1 s elderly housing complex visible from Peakham Road and with access from Hudson Road. The 60 elderly and 4 handicapped one bedroom apartments are nearing completion and more than 160 application requests have been received, most from Townspeople. The apartments should be occupied and the community building in use by summer Under the state funded 705 program five homes were purchased and are currently leased to low Income families. Federal funding has been set aside under Section 8 program for 10 units of rental assistance in Sudbury. Provision of infonmation necessary for receipt of these funds has been among the first tasks of Executive Director R. Dougal Menelaws, hired in October to serve as secretary and to manage Authority programs. After months of local prodding, the state finally appointed Dallas Hayes to the Sudbury Housing Authority in May to fill the vacancy left by the expiration of Richard Faxon 1 s term the previous July. In November, Douglas Miranda moved out of town and so resigned. His term will be filled by appointment until the Annual Town Election in March 1976, at which time the remaining one year position will be open in addition to the normal five year term for which Lorraine Bauder will not seek reelection. Respectfully submitted, Lorraine L. Bauder, Chairman; Willie L. Hoover; Dallas D. Hayes; Robert B. Williams PARK AND RECREATION COMMISSION 1975 was an exceptlonally act,ve year for recreation enthusiasts in Sudbury. This was attested to by a marked increase in attendence {n most all of the Park and Recreation sponsored activities such qs Gi'rl 1 s Softball and Youth Soccer almost doubled in A winter basketball progr-am for boys in the third thru eighth grades was started and nearly 300 youngsters and adult volunteers became involved. This rapid growth in interest and participation has clearly indicated to the Park and Recreation Commission the need to keep pace with expanding programs in order- to derive the maximum benefit from them. One of the major goals of the commissioners during 1975 was to develop a more comprehensive maintenance program. The need for this emphasis becomes evident when one considers that over the last five years total land area that must be serviced by this department has more than quadrupled. Besides the Town Hall area and an expanded Featherland Park, this growth is reflected in the almost complete development of Feeley Park and in the maintenance of all of the turf areas associated with the Sudbury Public Schools. In addition, this year the depart~ ment has become responsible for maintaining Heritage Park and a recently developed portion of the Haskell land. During 1975, a number of new facilities were completed and some established ones were improved. At Feeley Park, two new shuffleboards and horseshoe pits will be ready early in These will provide our Senior Citizens with some much appreciated outdoor recreation. The comfort station has been completed and will be operational Once the grading is finished. A recently built soccer field was put into use this fall and a newly constructed softball diamond which experiences intensive use during spring and summer will have an outfield warning track installed in order to prevent needless injuries to the players. The horseback riding enthusiasts will find that the parking area surface at the horse rings has been both improved and enlarged to provide additional parking and turnaround area for horse trailers. At the Haskell land, two soccer fields were set up and used last fall on the recently developed portion of this site. In the spring, one softball field will be ready and the construction of a second ballfield scheduled to get underway. If Annual Town Meeting approves, additional development of this area will also begin in At Featherland Park, the sixty foot ballfield in back of the football field has been reconditioned and plans have been made to repaint the tennis court surfaces this coming year. At Heritage Park, six bluestone benches that had been purchased for the park were installed by our maintenance department. In 1975, the Park and Recreation Commission was notified that 1976 would probably be the last year that communities such as Sudbury would be allowed to run their swim programs at Walden Pond. As a result, we have taken the first step in what may prove to be a most significant venture. A steering committee of interested townspeoole.was formed in late 1975 to begin a feasibility study for providing Sudbury with its own much~needed swimming facilities. 34

36 Judging by the many favorable comments, the Fourth of July was a great su_ccess. Our parade has always managed to retain a homespun flavor. This year, a large number of neighborhood floats entered the parade. We would like to thank everyone who contributed so much to making this day such a good time and we hope that community enthusiasm this year will rise to match the significance of this very special Bicentennial celebration.

(Town Crier photo) GOODNOW LIBRARY A growing number of Sudbury citizens are making even greater use of Goodnow Library s resources-and facilities. 11,600 cardholders borrowed 178,000 items during the year. The multi-purpose room has been heavily scheduled throughout the year by many organizations and groups. The library continues to benefit from the help and assistance so willingly given by individuals and community groups. The Friends have completed their refurbishing project on the octagon room and, once again, sponsored the annual Christmas concert; volunteers have provided much-needed and welcome assistance in a variety of Library personal and technical services; Cyril Foster s series of travel talks was a highlight of the fall season; the Sudbury Art Association and the Garden Clubs have continued their efforts to make the Library a more pleasant, meaningful, and educational experience for all of us. Under the Director, Tom Jewell, a number of new programs and services have been Introduced. Passes to the Children's Museum, the Museum of Fine Arts, and the Museum of Transportation are now available to registered cardholders; a book discussion has been formed and meets monthly to examine recent works of fiction and non-fiction; a bi-weekly newspaper column, 11 News and Reviews,'' has been well-received. Chi ldren s needs have been met by the addition of another weekly 11 Story hour 11 and the continuation of the popular crafts. program. The first prize won by the Children's Department in the Fourth of July float contest testifies to its vitality. As a contribution to the Bicentennial, the Library is preparing a pictorial and. narrative history of certain pre-19th century Sudbury homes. We are especially grateful to volunteer Photographer Estelle Andelman and project director Janet Smith for their work on this volume. It seems appropriate that the Bicentennial is also marked by the completion-of the recataloging of the town 1 s historical collection. The Trustees are confident that the Library will condnue to contribute meaningfully to the quality of l_ife in Sudbury. Respectfully submitted, Robert E. Stocking, Chairman; June R.

37 POLICE DEPARTMENT There were noticeable increases in all ty-pes of crimi_nal activity in Pol ice were kept busy ~s we were usually ~horthanded. Never has the Department been hft with long term illnesses as it was thls year-~ We have always trfed to mainta{n instant response to citizen requests but have had to stack up calls for the firs-t ttme on a priority basis because of increased activfty andre- quests for service type calls. The Department prosecuted 1380 criminal cases. Of these, 39 were juvenile. Twice this number were handled by the juvenile officer without court action. We have been able to keep our breaks at a respectable level. 1 1 m sure our efforts with the 11 Neighborhood Watch 11 and "Project ldentiflcation 11 have paid off. We have sent speakers to most local organizations with a program to educate citizens on how to protect themselves from burglary. We will continue to offer this program to ~ny interested organization or group of citizens. 79 homes were broken into this year. 35 businesses were broken into and 11 school breaks reported and investigated. 1a3 people were arrested for various crimes and 94 were held in protective custody, formerly dnunkenness. Only five short years ago the total arrest figure was 47 and at least half were for drunkenness. 95 people were cited for operating under the influence and 2447 motor vehicle citations were recorded. 5 people died in motor vehicle accidents and ofr the 5 recorded fata I ities 2 operators. who died were under the influence. Transportation of the sick and injured continues to take policemen off beats an'd out of town. There were 365 emergency runs to hospitals. While the town must conform to th"e new regulations of the Office of Emergency Services o:oncerning the transportation of the sick and injured, It has taken no position at this time. I intend to mcike a recommendation at the Annual Town Meeting. There were 313 motor vehicle accidents investigated by this Department. Our Safety Officer has worked closely with the schools and we have made many recommendations concerning the safety of children on busses and walkways Sudbury s share of fines from the District Court came to $2,630. I issued 713 Firearms (.D. c~rds and 113 permits to carry a firearm. Total fees for licenses Issued by this office and fees for copies came to $4, These sums were turned over to the Town Treasurer.

38 FIRE DEPARTMENT As Chief of the Fire Department 1 herewith submit my first a~nual report listing and explaining the activities of the Flre Department and its personnel for the calendar year During the year 1975 the Fire Department personnel responded to 987 emergency calls. These calls included structure fire?, brush fires, medical emergencies and others, up from 661 during the calendar year The year 1975 saw the instituting of several major programs within the Fire Department, such as a fire prevention program headed by a Fire Prevention Officer, the appointment of a Superintendent of Fire Alarm and Radio Communication Officer and the development of a preventive maintenance program for the apparatus and equipment. As a result of the fire prevention program, inspections were carried out in 73 mercant.lle properties and in all schools by firefighters on an in-service basis. Each team of inspectors is in radio contact at all times and available to. answer all alanns if the need should arise. The initial in~pections were highly successful in eliminating potential hazards and resulted in a fire-free year for the business community. In the coming year it is planned to broaden this program to include inspections of dwellings and fire prevention instruction in the primary grades of school. The fire service throughout the United States is becoming increasingly aware of the need for such programs to help reduce our fire losses, both in terms of dollar loss and loss of life. In 1975 over 11,800 lives were lost by fire, 300,000 injured and $3 billion in property loss, with a large percentage occurring in the home. Most of these fires could have been prevented with a good corrvnon sense fire prevention program. I hope 1976 will see a reduction in Sudbury s fire calls as this program reaches more people. The Fire Department now has six registered Emergency Medical Technicians; and as of this writing, four more will be registered by February of This program Is a necessity, as all members of the fire service are becoming more involved with the transportation of the sick and injured. During 1975 the Fire Department assisted the Pollee Department with 177 medical emergencies and 157 automobile accidents, of which 35 had personal injuries. The firefighters EMT 1 s are now manning the patient compartment of the pollee cruisers during the transportation of the sick and Injured to a hospital. All the Fire Department personnel are anxiously awaiting the purchase of an ambulance to enable the Fire Department to pr'ovtde better service and to comply with the new Massachusetts Ambulance Regulatory Law of With the assistance of the Civil Preparedness and Defense Area #1 Director, the_ Fire Department has been fortunate in receiving a 1963 diesel powered 1,000 gallon fire department 6 x 6 tanker to replace the 1954 coverted 6 x 6 military chasis obtained In Many of the Fire Department personnel are taking advantage of the fire science courses and manipulative skill training courses sponsored by the Massachusetts Fire-Fighting Academy and the community colleges. These men are to be congratulated, along with those taking the EMT courses, as the work and responsibilities of the firefighter are ever in~ creasing with new.laws, codes, hazards and dangers, making firefightlng the most dangerous profession of all and necessitating constant studying and updating of all firefighting practices. In closing this first annual report, after completing a year as your Fire Chief, I wish to thank the men of the Sudbury Fire Department for their patience, respect and cooperation durlng, what I am sure, has been a trying year for all of us. I wish also to thank all Town Boards, Town Officials, Police, Highway, Park employees and the citizens of Sudbury for their cooperation and interest during CIVIL DEFENSE Respectfully submitted, Josiah F. Frost Due to State budget cuts, most of the State sector and area staff has been dismissed. This has placed an additional burden on the local directors as they now receive very li-ttle assistance from the State organization. f. During the year 1975 your Director has attended monthly meetings at Area #I Headquarters in Tewksbury and has developed sufficient interest in local programs to retain Sudbury 1 S eligibility for some federal programs and surplus property. The Auxiliary Police Department is still active, with a membership of twenty men. They have assisted the regular Pol ice D_epartment on many occasions and are to be commended for volunteering their time and efforts on these occasions. Respectfully submitted, Josiah F. Frost 37

40 SUDBURY PUBLIC SCHOOLS bucac:10n One may observe a wide variety of teaching strategies in the Sudbury Schools; children learn in a multitude of ways. Our schools 1 success, in large measure, is attributable to the extensive volunteer programs. Those who assist permit the teaching staff to realize more of what is possible. Our schools are open and available to continuous improvement and refinement of the teaching/learning arts. Peter Noyes is in its fifth year as a fifth-sixth grade school. The basic academic pro~ gram revolves around fourteen pairs of teaching partners, each responsible for the education of some fifty-eight to sixty students. Special needs students receive needed attention in the learning centers in our schools. A Core Team consisting of the Assistant Superintendent, Psychologist, Social Worker, a school nurse, school principal, school guidance counselor, and the Diagnostic Prescriptive Teacher, assess the student 1 s needs and, with the child 1 s parents, write an educational plan. Specialists in the area, a diagnostic prescriptive teacher, and volunteers arrange individual tutoring and small group instruction for these students. They also give suggestions to the classroom teacher for implementing a special needs program in the classroom. Guidance personnel help coordinate the program and are also involved in individual and small group counseling sessions. As the concept of metropolitanization becomes more of a reality in education, the METCO/ Sudbury plan, which is fully funded by the Massachusetts Department of Education, has demonstrated Its own academic, economic and social successes. At present, there are seventy students interspersed throughout grades 1-5. Five staff people are responsible for the operation and aid students in adapting to our schools. The Junior High School is responsible for the transition from the elementary school, with Its essentially child-centered emphasis, to the high school, with its greater emphasis on subject matter and student self-motivation. Due to the transitional nature of these grades, it Is essential that teachers have an unusual combination of qualifications. They must have both \the competency in subject matter of the high school teacher and also possess the understanding Of children which is characteristic of the elementary teacher. The program permits youngsters to explore a wide variety of areas. The Curtis staff uses a wide variety of approaches to build a student 1 s sense of self confidence, especially with respect to his ability to learn.

41 Students at the Junior High level with special interests are provided a variety of opportunities through the many club offerings. The English Seminar program continues to offer high interest mini courses which reinforce all areas of English skills in reading, writing, listening, and speaking. The annual dig by the Social Studies department has been a huge success as students create their own culture, then become archeologists, and finally museum caretakers. In the spirit of the Bicentennial, the English and Social Studies departments have sponsored colonial seminars in the spring which culminate in a fair where exhibits of models, artifacts, agricultural implements and home made articles have been displayed. For the first time this year the Math department received a state grant for the development and implementation of a magnet program utilizing the computer students from the Massachusetts Experimental School in Dorchester, combined with our students, to design and administer questionnaires as a practical application of how a computer is able to compile statistics from questionnaires. The Math Center was enlarged this past year so that more students could make use of it at one time. The ''hands-on'' approach to Science continues to provide children with a sequential development of laboratory and scientific techniques. In order to keep Sudbury citizens informed on matters concerning the schools the Committee has scheduled one of its monthly meetings in the neighborhood schools on a rotating basis.

42 LINCOLN-SUDBURY REGIONAL HIGH SCHOOL This, the nineteenth annual report to the towns of the Lincoln-Sudbury Regional School District, records some significant departures: departures both from the Committee 1 s previous mode of operations and of an individual who has played a major role in the development of the school from its inception. It also reports on the state of the school and notes issues confronting the schoo1 1 s future. The nineteen year history of Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School has recorded a relatively continuous increase in the size of the high school population. Annual reports from earlier years repeatedly stress the Committee 1 s need to wrestle with the management of a rapidly growing institution. This year, we begin for the first time, to see a decline in student enrollment, a trend which we expect to continue into the future. This turning point in enrollment trends prompted the Committee to undertake a long-range educational and financial planning project, supported with funds from the National Institute of Education. The Committee has also undertaken an examination of critical issues currently confronting the high school. These twin efforts of planning and assessment have demanded of Committee members a commitment of time and energy that has occasionally staggered us all, but they have produced a number of valuable results: the involvement initially of more than 200 citizens in a close examination of pressing and controversial issues: Graduation Requirements Standards and Expectations, both academic and behavioral Structure of the School Day: Flexible/Modular Scheduling Structure of Departmental Programs and Course Selection Procedure Assessment/Evaluation Discipline, Hall Kids and Vandalism a series of reports (currently in process) which can provide the Committee with a thorough examination of a range of its current practices and which can serve as benchmarks against which to measure new directions the opportunity for individual School Committee members to explore in depth and over time an aspect of the school for which normally we each may have less time the generation (through the NIE effort) of highly detailed data regarding our own school, its costs, students and its compariso_n with other schools the efforts over nearly a year of-a 30 person worklng Committee to prepare altern ati.ve means of cutting. school costs the mailing to all citizens in both towns qf a brochure describing the three alternatives chosen by the Working Committee for examination by the towns the attendance by approximately 1000 high school students at a presentation of the three alternatives the involvement of approximately 800 citizens of both towns in the consideration of three alternative directions in which the school might move in the next five years the completion of 600 detailed questionnaires regarding citizen views of the financial and educational future of the school The citizen task force reports and a final report on the NIE effort will be made available to the towns during the Spring of Hopefully, they will help the Committee chart the directions of the school with a firmer knowledge both of citizens views and of the intricacies of the institution for whose care we are charged. The care of that institution, however, wi 11 never be as.-easy or sure in the absence of Lily Spooner. Retired i.n December, 1975, Lily takes with her 21 years of service to Lincoln Sudbury, starting in her capacity as Secretary to the original Committee (even before there was a school) and proceeding through the three titles. she laid down at her retirement: Business Manager, Assistant Treasurer, and Secretary to the School Committee. The fidel tty, integrity, total competence and indulgent humor with which Lily guided untutored new. Coll'Ulli ttee members into something approaching understanding of the budget has been experienced by all who have learned from her. Her steel is well known to anyone with the temerity to question her numbers. The loss we all feel at her departure is enormous. Typical of this grand lady 1 s character is her determination that any effort to honor her service should come in the form of a scholarship fund for which-we 11 will all have to _work and work hard. 1 ' As a result of Li1y 1 s initiative, and to her credit, there now exists the Lincoln Sudbury Scholarship Fund, which seeks to raise $10,000 for each of five years_ through the contributions of the entire school community. A committee composed of ex-school Committee members Howard Errmons, Ellen Cannon, and Virginia Kirschner and present School Committee member, William Maloney, is already at work developing the Plan for this effort. The Committee has not only lost, but gained this year. Two new members of the Committee were elected in March to fill the seats vacated by Martha Clough and Roger Flather. They are Cameron Eiseman and David Ford, both of Sudbury. We miss Martha and Roger but welcome our two new members. 41

43 With respect to other aspects of the state of the school, there are the following events and changes to report: LSRHS received the Ernie Dqlton Award, signifying that its Athletic Program (and performance) ranked it 11 Number One 11 in Massachusetts among schools our size. The School Committee approved the Intensive Studies Program, an innovation which was developed internally by staff and administrators and inaugurated in the fall to provide a more structured educational option for those students for whom it is appropriate. In light of falling enrollments, the School Committee and staff began to confront the issue of staff reductions. The system for evaluating staff was redesigned by a special committee which worked for more than a year and which initiated the new process during the past year. Bob Millett left the Assistant Principalship which he has held for the past ten years to return to the classroom. We speak not only for the school, but for the many hundreds of students whose lives have benefitted from his wise and compassionate leadership, in expressing our thanks to Bob for his outstanding service. Bradford Sargent assumed many of Bob 1 s old duties in the new role of Acting Coordinator of Hall Directors. Anne Mahaney was appointed Business Manager as a replacement for Lily Spooner. Martha Pappas was appointed Acting Administrative Assistant to the Superintendent. Frank Heyes was appointed Secretary to the School Committee. As for the future, three issues stand out for attention: How to help approximately 2000 students experience a less complex and potentially overwhelming institution while preserving the diversity of approaches and range of options which LSRHS now offers. How to cope with the continuing demands by the Commonwealth for services in the area of Special Education (Chapter 766) while not impairing the quality of services offered the majority of the student body. How to manage the Process of contraction (as opposed to our previous growth) at a time when our staff is increasingly mature and inflation continuously a problem. It is with respect to the last issue that the School Committee undertook the long-range planning effort (NIE) referred to earlier. Our attempts to respond to the other two issues include reconsideration of the organizational structure of the high school and continuing attempts to respond sensitively to the special needs of our students within a framework of concern for our entire student population.

Ronald J. Fitzgerald, the new Superintendent-Director, has recently served as Executive Officer and Director of Research for the Massachusetts Advisory Council on Education (MACE). His previous experience includes ten years as Superintendent of the Amherst-Pelham Regional School District. Dr. Fitzgerald's selection Is the result of an eight month search which began when former Superintendent-Director Samuel H. Salns resigned. The process Included consultation with the thirteen superintendents in the District on methods and criteria for selecting a qualified, capable administrator, screening of over 100 applicants, interviews of seven final Ists by constituent groups (superintendents, administrative staff, faculty, parents, students), and final in-depth interviews of the three top candidates by the full School Committee. Faculty and students moved into the new building in January; complete occupancy of the facility was marked by a Dedication and Open House on June 14 attended by citizens of the District, which Includes the towns of Acton, Arlington, Belmont, Boxborough, Carlisle, ConcOrd, Lexington, Lincoln, Stow, Sudbury, Wayland, and Weston. The school and program are planned to provide students with marketable occupational.skills and the foundatton for further education when appropriate. Each year the program expands to the next level as the freshman class of moves through the four years toward graduation. School opened on September 2, 1975 with both 9th and 10th grade students enrolled. At the present time, 9th grade students spend half of each day In academic areas and the other half in occupational areas. The academic half includes Communication Arts, Human Relations, Hath, Science, and Physical Education; the occupational half allows students to exper Ience eight different vocational areas on an exploratory basis_ for five weeks each. Th1s year, 10th grade students follow a 11 week about 11 schedule. One week is spent in aca ~mtc studles, full time; the next week is spent full time in one of four occupational areas. Each perlod lasts ten weeks. 48

50 Next sehool year ( ), an 11th grade will be added and each student will concentrate on one major vocational program. With the Inclusion of cooperatlve work opportunltles in local businesses and industries In , the four year program will be complete. During the coming months, In addition to the regular program, Minuteman will be offering three other programs: Time-Sharing, Occupational Competency, and Adult Education. Time-Sharing began In December; thts program requires close cooperation of District schools In adjusting student schedules so that 8th, 9th, and 10th grade students can spend half a day in exploratory programs at Minuteman, half a day In their regular academic programs in their home schools. The Occupational Competency Program, which ts funded by a Federal grant of $57,000 offers 9th through 12th grade students in the District a ~-afternoon a week opportunity to explore eighteen career areas as a way of increasing their awareness of vocational possibilities. Adult Education, scheduled to open early In 1976, will provide evening courses which make use of many of Minuteman's special facilities and equipment. Whenever practicable, Minuteman programs provide actual work experiences for students. Currently,..the-Culinary Arts students are operating the Fife and Drum Restaurant, a dining room located in-the Mall of the school and open to the public from 11 A.M. to 1 P.M. each week day. Distributive Education students staff the two stores, also located in the Mall and open to the. public. During the summer of 1975, thirteen students were paid to work In a public cafeteria program serving 300 to 500 persons dally, Including many Bicentennial visitors from other parts of the count'ry and overseas. Intended as a break-even operation, the summer cafeteria actually netted $400, In Apr , Alfred C. Cron of Sudbury was elected chairman of the committee, succeeding Henry L.

53 MEMORIAL DAY COMMITTEE The town enjoyed a most colorful Memorial Day parade th(s year. Groups from the Sons of the Ameri can Revoluti on, l'ndians representi-ng various tribes in authenti c regalia, as well as many local groups helped portray Sudbury's contribution to 11 the price of freedom 11, the theme of the Memorial Day observances. Marching units represented parti"cl'pants in the King Philip War, French & Indian Wars, the Revolution, War of 1812, Mexican-American and Spanish-American Wars, World Wars I and II, and Korean and Vietnam conflicts. At each memorial Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School students read off the names of those Sudbury residents who served in the various wars. Prayers were said by the town's clergy at each of the memorials followed by a hymn played by the Ancient Fyfe & Drum Corps, and a wreath laid at each monument and taps played. Keynote speaker at Town Hall ceremonies was prize-winning essay writer Martha Distler, Noyes School student, on Memorial Day Past and Present. Selectman Wi'l 1 iam Toomey represented that board in his welcoming remarks, followed by Selectman John Powers as Chairman of the Bicentennial Committee. The elementary school band played several selections, and the elementary school chorus sang music written during the Revolutionary War period. Special guests in the parade were Congressman Robert Drinan, State Rep. Mrs. Ann Gannet and World War I veteran Alfred Bonazzoli. Parade Marshals representing three services were Col. Paul Leahy, U.S. Army; Mary Jane Hillery, U.S. Navy; and Frank Koppeis, U.S. Air Force. Respectfully submitted, Joseph D. Bausk, Chairman; Frank H. Grinnell; Mary Jane Hillery; Frank Koppeis; Joan E.

54 Quilter Jini Radle stitches a patch at the Friends of the Library Quilting Bee, a Bicentennial event which celebrated the Sudbury Grange's 90th anniversary. (Town Crier photo) REVOLUTIONARY WAR BICENTENNIAL COMMITTEE The concern and joyous committment of the entire community to the concept of the Bicentennial was as heartwarming as it was varied. At no other time in recent memory has there been such a display of energy and community awareness Singly, in groups, in neighborhoods and as a Town. Sudbury citizens in 1975 took the time to pause in a harried world and enjoy doing the things that are the hallmark of old fashioned friendship and civic pride. From the elderly men who built the stone wall at Heritage Park to the young Eagle Scout who cleaned up the old stone markers - from the congregations which repainted their churches and the individuals who repainted their houses to the garden clubs which created their remarkable flower show - from the young men who built bridges for Heritaqe Park to the neighborhood ice sculpture and float building parties could be seen, in human terms, the gifts of spirit which have created th'is town and this nation. America is not a place for cynics. It is the home of people who care and who are willing to give of themselves and their talents to a better way of life. In their own way our friends and neighbors did their bit to help. The Ancient Fyfe and Drum Corps and the Companies of M<f.nute and Militia sponsored ' 'Sons of Liberty'' to raise money so that the Memorial Day Committee- without tax dollars- could commemmorate on Memorial Day those who fought in fourteen wars to preserve and defend this piece of earth. Countless hundreds donated time, money and planting materials to make Heritage Park a reality and Heritage Park Dedication Day a success. The town's official family of boards and committees, the Police, Fire and Highway Departments worked with this committee to overcome the logistics of making April 19, 1975 the most spectacular muster and march that has been seen on Sudbury Common in 200 years. Dozens of volunteers assisted the Park and Recreation Committee to make the July 4th Parage an instant success and the entire town turned out for Bicentennial Ball which transformed the Center into a magic place where - regardless of age or interest - our people engaged in the nostalgia of "dancing through the ages." As a town we voted to purchase the Haynes Garrison House site and preserve it for eternity and printed and published the records of the "The War Years" of the American Revolution. But" there were more: those things done by the groups and organizations. A superb performance of "1776" by the Sudbury Players - the Qui 1 ting Bee by Friends of the Goodnow Library in celebration of the 90th Anniversary of the Sudbury Grange- the Regimental Ball of the Sudbury Companies of Mrnute and Militia- the Methodist Church's Colonial Crafts Fair and Sunday morning Colonial Church Services - the Lincoln-Sudbury's Civic Orchestra 1 s special presentation of Aaron Copeland's "Portrait of Lincoln"- the Bicentennial Photo Contest - the Sudbury school System 1 s re-opening of the Little-Red School House- the endless work parties of the Boy ScOuts and Girl Scouts- the countless volunteers and friends who staffed and maintained the Bicentennial.information Center and presented the Thursday night treat 11 Tales and Trivia" {at which we finally found out who burned down the bandstand~~) All of this outpouring of spirit (much of it captured on film through the discerning eye of Victor Neumeier) sets the stage for 1976, the year which marks the 200th AnOiversary of American Independence. We need your enthusiasm, your ideas and your help. We won 1 -t have another party 1 ike this for a hundred years, so come on in and enjoy the Bicentennial - Sudbury style.

55 TOWN HISTORIANS The year 1975 will go into history as a year of particular bicentennial importance to the Town and its inhabitants. In the darkness and the rain of the early morning of April 19, 1975, over 400 Militia and Minutemen mustered on the old training field at Sudbury Center for the march to Concord. President Ford was to be there as was President Grant in With the well wishes and cheers of over two thousand townspeople and visitors, the companies of Militia and Minutemen left the Center for the long march to the Old North Bridge. The Sudbury Ancient Fyfe and Drum Companie set the pace with the sh r i II of fifes and the beat of drums. It was to be the honor of the Sudbury Companies to serve as a protective guard along the approach to the Bridge as the President and his retinue arrived and departed. Sudbury 1 s men were individually dressed in garb of the time and carried a collection of weapons, as they did in 1775, that would have delighted an antique weapon collector or gunsmith - muskets, of every age and description, pistols, hoes, a flail, an harpoon, a halberd, assorted clubs and a crooked cane. On May the loth a number of the Sudbury Minutemen attended the reenactment of the capture of Fort Ticonderoga and on their way home visted Sudbury, Vermont. On June 23rd, the Sudbury Ancient Fyfe and Drum Companie presented a special salute to Arthur Fiedler at the Second Annual Colonial Night at the Boston Pops in Symphony Hall. Following the performance, Mr. Fiedler was presented with a tri-cornered hat bearing the Companies 1 medallion, thus making him an official member of the corps. On September 27th, thirty-one Sudbury and Wayland men under the command of Col. Palmer True, representing Capt. Samuel Ward, mustered for the reenactment of Col. Benedict Arnold 1 s Expedition to capture Quebec in The company of 1975 first went to Somerville where Sudbury men were encamped during the Revolution, then marched to Cambridge Common where instructions were received for the reenactment. Some of the men then went to Newburyport where they boarded boats and sailed for Pittston, Maine. The reenactment took place on the Plains of Abraham at Quebec on October 4th before a crowd of 50,000 people, with valuable commentary provided by Joseph E. Brown, as Lt. Col. Roger Enos. Through the efforts of the Historians, the Sudbury Historical Society became the recipient of several interest.ing items of historic value to the Town and the Society provided matedal for the continuous exhibits in the Grange Hall. In addition, we have been extremely active in supplying genealogical data in answer to numerous inquiries from all parts of the United States and have consulted with many Sudbury and Wayland friends on the Town 1 s Revolutionary War activities and on other events of Sudbury 1 s past. Respectfully submitted, Forrest D. Bradshaw; George D. Max 54 (Vic Neumeier photo)

56 COMMITTEE ON TOWN ADMINISTRAT!Orl The CTA spent much of its time this year involved in a study of the consolidation of public works activities in the town of Sudbury. The committee spoke with other towns about their experiences concerning this matter and further reviewed prior studies on the subject. Before our study was completed, the proposed abolition of the Highway Commission was brought before the town. As a result of the town 1 s vote to abolish that commission, a measure of consolidation was achieved and the CTA decided to wait and observe the new operation before completing our study and presenting a report to the town. The committee also attempted to resolve the question of whether or not a conflict exists between our bylaws and state statutes regarding the retention, by the Town Clerk, of a portion of dog license fees and hunting and fishing license fees. The CTA and the Town Clerk have jointly Meeting in an effort to resolve this issue. to the legislature and the other would amend legislature s passing of the special act. submitted two articles for the 1976 Annual Town One article proposes a special act be submitted our bylaws so as to cover the time prior to the Respectfully submitted, Eric Kanstroom; Anne Bigelow; lorelei Snyder; Edward Glazer; Sally VonBenken (Res.); Charlotte Goss Three Sudbury gardeners contemplate bumper crop.

(Town Crier photo} COi~SERVAT!ON COMMISSION During 1975, the Conservation Commission pursued its goals by activity in land acquisition, land management, and water resource protection. land Acquisition In order to retain and protect important geographical features of the Town, the Commission acquired land on Willis Pond, as well as 18.9 acres of swampland abutting present Conservation land in the central part of the Town. The Commission returned to the Town $208,000, reimbursement for prior purchases of the Davis, Hulbert, and Edison properties. Land Management A total of approximately 500 acres of land are presently under the jurisdiction of the Conservation Commission. Work parties for trail clearing, maintenance, trail marking, soil stabilization, etc. have been active on various Conservation lands. Volunteer help provided 404 man/hours of effort. The Community Garden was initiated on Conservation land at lincoln Meadows. 55

57 Commercial agricultural use of lands at Lincoln Meadows and at the Davis Farm returned $700 to the Town plus services such as plowing of the Community Garden and maintenance of open space. Hunting permits (28) were issued for the Raymond Land and Lincoln Meadows. Camping permits (7) were issued. Hikes, bird walks and trail walks were organized and conducted on Conservation lands. Water Resource Protection By State law the Conservation Commission is responsible for administration of the Wetlands Protection Act. Public hearings (8) required under the Law were held. After consideration of data pertaining to these projects, Orders of Conditions were issued by the Commission. Determinations of Applicability (2) required site visits and inspection of data. Extension Permits (S) were issued to extend previous Orders of Conditions after consideration of the state of work and new data Certificates of Compliance (3) were issued on work completed under the Wetlands Protection Act after site inspect.ion by members of the Commission. Two guideline brochures were issued describing procedures to be followed for application under the Wetlands Protection Act. A land and trail map was prepared and issued for the Lincoln Meadows Conservation Reservation. The Commissioners have supplied data and information to other Town boards and committees, groups, and the press. Respectfully submitted, Joseph P. Tratnyek, Chairman; John C.

58 PLANNING BOARD In a continuing effort to accompli-sh more long range planning for the Town the Planning Board took a positive step qnd hired a professional planner, Emmanuel Tiliakos. He was partially funded through the use of 11 Speclal Studies 11 monies approved at Annual Town Meetings in 1974 and $.10,000 of this salary was provided by a federal program. The Board assigned specific projects to its planner- with top priority being the production of a series of maps showing the physical resources of the Town such that each resource map could be displayed individually or collectively in an overlay manner to give the Board a vital tool in determining the total impact of development in any particular area. This type of planning project has and will continue to be of great value In enabling the Board to make sound land use recommendations and to develop new zoning proposals which will allow the Town to determine what its character wtll be now and in the future. Our Planner has also assisted other Town Boards and Committees as part of his daily work routine. A thirty thousand dollar discretionary fund grant was awarded the Town to be used through the Park and Recreation Comm(ssion as a result of the efforts of our Planner and Executive Secretary, Richard E. Thompson. Numerous other applications have been filed for funding under state and federal programs and more will be filed in the future. Since the Board 1 s Planner works full time, the functions of the Planning Board both for routine subdivision control and long-range planning continued at an accelerated pace during An In-depth.Hydrology Study of the Town, voted by the 197lt Annual Town Meeting, nears completion by Dr. WardS. Motts of the University of Massachusetts and resource mapping will provide another tool for effective land use planning. Through the use of this study and resulting zoning, Sudbury can guarantee its quality water supply Into the future. A committee representing the School Committee, Highway Commission, Finance Committee Planning Board and Chief of Police, was formed by the Planning Board during 1975 to deal' specifically with planning, construction, utilization, safety and purposes of walkways. The Board believes that coordinated efforts by elected and appointed officials concerned with walkways was the best route to comprehensive planning in this area. In other areasof long-range planning the Board, through the efforts of its Planner, obtained technical assistance from the U.S. Department of Agriculture through their Soils Conservation Service Program. One of the benefits of this program, at no cost to the Town, was the review and correction of a Soils Map of Sudbury made In 1964 aided in part by volunteers. The Planning Board, individually or collectively has actively participated in numerous meetings, seminars and studies at the State and Regional levels. During 1975 the Planning Board approved two subdivisions. The first concerned a 22 lot subdivision on Concord Road opposite the High School and the second a two lot subdivision off Hudson Road. The Board was forced to take one developer to court to press for completion of a subdivision way. Construction was virtually completed during It appears that similar action may be required to complete other subdivision ways outstanding since Respectfully submitted, Paul H.

59 TOWN ENGINEER The operations of the Engineering Department were performed by the Town Engineer~ four permanent Engineering Aides, a permanent Principal Clerk, a Civil Engineering Student from Northeastern University under the Co-operative Education Program and two Temporary Part-time Engineering Aides. A new plan of operation for the Sanitary Landfill was prepared by this Department and approved by both local and State Boards of Health. Assistance in making the operational change on a day to day basis was also provided for the Highway Commission during this period. A major relocation and widening plan of the Concord Road - lincoln Road Intersection, together with proposed cost estimates, was prepared at the request of the Commission. Construction plans and cost estimates were prepared for the implimentation of Phase I of the Master Drainage Plan for Sudbury. Some of the installations already constructed in this Phase I include Old Sudbury Road, across from the White Building, Peakham Road, just north of Meadowbrook Circle and the completion of channel work off the Boston Post Road at Greenhill Road. A preliminary plan showing a proposed relocation and widening of Peakham Road from Old Lancaster Road to the Boston and Maine Railroad Crossing was prepared and submitted to the Commission at their request. Other projects included the preparat.ion of plans for Street Acceptance to be presented at the 1976 Annual Town Meeting, plans showing proposed repairs to the existing septic system at the Highway Garage, plans and related data to assist in the solution of various drainage problems throughout the Town and the establishment of line and grade for numerous construction projects undertaken by the Highway Commission. Walkway construction and planning represented much of the Engineering Department s workload during the year with the completion of construction on over two miles of walkways along Woodside Road, Hudson Road and Concord Road. Future walkway construction planning was also done for Old Sudbury Road, Peakham Road and Old Lancaster Road. In 1975 the Town accomplished a first in that the walkway construction, as voted at the Annual Town Meeting, was completed during that same year. We are now assisting the newly formed Walkway Committee and providing Engineering data as requested. In addi,tion to providing the aforementioned engineering services, this Department provided field surveys, maps, plans <ind related engineering data, as requested, in many areas by virtually every department of town government and to the general public. Respectfully submitted, James V. Merlonl INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION The newly reorgantzed tndustrial Development Commission has sought to attract new industry to our properly zoned areas; but more important, in thts dtfficult year, the.board has striven and been successful in maintaining existing Industry in our town and in our state. Respectfully submitted, Leon Zola, Chairman; Kenneth Ritchie; Robert Pecaut; Arthur Babigian; Joseph Brown LONG RANGE CAPITAL EXPENDITURES COMMITTEE On September 1974 the LOng Range Caprtal Expenditures Committee began its first capital improvement program for the Town Of Sudbury. The program was Initiated In order to compre hensively 11'st and descri-be anticlpated capital lmpr.ovements for the town for the period in greater detai 1 th.an had been attempted heretofore. A report was transml tted to the Board of Selectmen and distri'buted at Town Meeting. That report contained a compilation o.f capital expenditure operaung expense and revenue. projections provided through the cooperation of town offlcta1s, boards and commissions, for which we are,grateful. That report received Honorable Mention from the Association of Town Finance Conrnltt.ees. This year a re vised questionnaire was sent to all town boards and.committees and an updated Capital Improve ment Plan and Report will be _p_roduced from the informati on furnished.

60 WAYLAND/SUDBURY SEPTAGE DISPOSAL PLANNING COMMITTEE At the 1975 Annual Town Meeting, the Town voted in favor of two articles presented by the comffiittee. The first authorized the ToWn acting by the Board of Selectmen to enter into a contract with Wayland providing for the construction of a septage disposal facility. The second appropriated $10,000 to be expended under the direction of the Board of Health for the implementation of _this agreement with Wayland. The total cost of the facility is estimated at $702,000 of which Sudbury is to pay half. Each year the capital and operating costs for the facility, will appear as a line i tem in the Board of Health budget. AlthQugh thec'fundamentals of agreement had been worked out by the committees of each tciwn before the Town Meeting, substantial time has been spent since attempting to Work out the specific details. Since the agreement must be approved by the Wayland Road Commissioners, Se_lectmen and Finarlce Committee achieving specific consent from all involved has been slow. It appears now the-contract should be signed ec!rly in f976. While detailed negotiations were progressing between the Towns, attempts continued to be made to secure Federal and/or State financing for the project. The prospect for such aid appears better than at any time in the past largely because of the release of impounded funds by. the Federal Government. Appl icatlon has been made and the project put on the State's ~r,~.ority t ist, but no action has yet been taken. Respectfully submitted, William W. Cooper, Chairman; John C._Powers; Ma_rtha J. Coe; ~aut H. McNally REGIONAL REFUSE DISPOSAL PLANNING COMMITTEE (Town Crier photo) 11 Sudbury finds itself in an enviable position having a low cost solid waste disposal alternative which is satisfactory to the Town's needs over the next 10 )'ears. The Town shoi.rld definitely continue with the operation of this land fill Until it is exhaust"ed; however, the Town does require a long range solid waste disposal alternative. We believe it is to the Town's. advantage to participate in the development of the Resource Recovery.faci.lity. In thts way the facility will be available and will adequatejy serve Sudbury's needs when it becomes necessary for the Town to participate in such a faci I ity. Participation in the Steam Recovery program should be of much less interest to Sudbury than the full scale Resource ~~cove~y approach. (Steam Recovery can be constructed in 2 - lt years). 11 The above quoted conclusions a re taken from a report to the Minute Man Regional Refuse DispoSal Planning Board of which Sudbury is a member. The report was prepared.by Arthur D. little Inc., Cambridge, Mass., dated April 1975, and titled Opportunities for Regional Solid Waste Management. It was partially funded by the Town of Sudbury as approved.by the Sudbury Annual Town Meeting of The report notes that a choice between steam r~c.overy or- resource recovery must be made by the region's Towns since sanitary landfllling was eliminated as an alternative due to land availability and cost. It is further noted that a resource recovery facili_ty will require fr-opl 5 -to _10 years t9 plan and construct, again pointing to the good position Sudbury now enjoys by having an excellent sanitary landfill operation and site. " '-.Sudbur.y's- Regional Refuse Disposal Planning!;OillJlittee concurs with the conclusions and r~commendations of the Arthur D. Little report. We intend to continue participation in recommended_ long range planning by joinin"gt at no cost or obligation to the Town, the 128 ;West. Refuse Recovery Counci 1 ~ a group of some_- 23 towns and cities including WB:Itham and New_ton and- supported in their planning activities by the Massachusetts Dept. of Ehv.ironmental ~ffairs.

Sudbury will have opportunities in the future to decide whether to participate in the actual' construction and support of such a fac_i 1 ity, but only on a voluntary basis and with Sudbury Town Meeting approval.

79 BOARD OF ASSESSORS The Board of Assessors want to congratulate the taxpayers and Town Boards and offices for their austerity efforts which resulted in a tax rate which was commensurate with our economic situation. The Assessors strongly urge that we, as citizens of Sudbury, continue to strive to improve our tax posture in the years ahead. Our office has had another busy year, with the growth and modification to homes continuing at a steady rate. Fortunately, our Appellate Court cases continue to be very low. The Assessors are awaiting enlightenment from the Department of Corporations and Taxation regarding the implementation of the Sudbury Case. A final decision has not been achieved with regard to unifying assessing practices at the state level. Respectfully submitted, J. Leo Quinn, Chairman; Frank H. Grinnell; Arthur A.

82 TOWN TREASURER Since tax collections are made twice a year, we have been able to reduce our borrowings on Tax Anticipation Notes from $4,000, to $2,000, per year, thus allowing us to invest more of the town 1 s funds. Accordingly, we may reduce our appropriation for interest on T.A.N.s from $25, to $15, per year. In order to maintain the continuity of the Treasurer 1 s office, the Treasurer has appointed Loretta A. Bigelow as Assistant Treasurer, as of December 3, This appointment was approved by the Selectmen and she has been duly bonded according to state. Together with Mrs. Bigelow, we would like to express our gratitude to those who have assisted in any way to help make our work more efficient and pleasant. Respectfully submitted, William E.

87 TOWN.CLERK After almost 8 years as Town Clerk, t must conclude that there is no such thing as a quiet year in this office. Even though our population increase has substantially leveled off, the work load continues to Increase each year in every area except births recorded. A major change in staff took place th[s past year with the resignation in June of Mrs. Harriet Boedecker who had served for 7 years as Assl'stant Town -Clerk, Her years of service have been appreciated and I recall with particular gratitude her good help when, as a new TOwn Clerk, I had a million detalls to learn in a short perfod of time. Mrs. Barbara Stevens, who had been a part-time clerk in the office for 6 years, became Assistant on July 1st. Her dedication, enthusiasm and wealth of talent, has made the transition a smooth one, and both the office and the town have already benefited from her Work. Considerable work has been done in reviewing and summar1z1ng the long and complex_ new Campaign Finance Law. Penalties are now very severe, including the possibility of losing voting rights for three years, so I have tried to give as much help as possible to our candidates for local office will generate a great deal of work in connection with the four elections to be_ held, culminating with the Presidential Election= in November. A large increase in voter registration Is expected and becaus_e of this, three additional voting machines have been requested'- In the 1976/77 budget. Accurate projections will become available after the close of registration, for the Annual Town Election in March. Should the actual increase indicate that we will be able to manage at the;presidential Election without additional machines, the purchase may be deferred. Last summer, the Finance Committee raised the question of whether the Town Clerk should be paid entirely by appropriated salary, or continue, as provided in the General Laws, to retain fees from dog and fishing licenses as part of the salary. Much work has been done o_n this question over the past several months with the Finance Committee and the Committee on Town Administration. Research has uncovered a lack of clarity in the law relative to what should happen to these fees if the Town Clerk do~s not retain them_and this was highlighted by the refusal of the State Director of Accounts to give written approval to a change in procedure. Many conferences have resulted in the submission of two articles to the 1976 AnnUal Town Meeting Warrant sponsored. jointly by' the CTA and the Town Clerk. One article will resolve technical difficulties in the -f~e bylaw_ until such time as the General Court can take a ctioh on the special act proposed ii'l i:.he,:other ~rticle. Passage of these two articles, arld the sul:lsequent action by the General" cpurt, wiu allow the Town, at the 1977 Annual Town Me~ting, to _deci_de how it wishes-the fees and the Town Clerk 1 s salary to be handled. The Bicentennial has genealogical research and the history of the Town. to increase substantially had its impact on the office in a tremendous increase in requests for 1n an Increase in visitors from all over the country interested in Requests for genealogical and historical information are expected during Good progress has been made on preparing typed copies of our ancient records and the subject and name index for each column. Work is continuing on the cross indexed card file of all town meeting action. The value of this work has been demonstrated many times over the years in our ability to answer questions efficiently and accurately. A card file of all birth, death and marriage records has been begun. This work has brought to light some old errors in transcribing to the records books from the original certificates and has made appropriate corrections possible. In addition, the work done to date has alre_ady saved staff time in providing certified copies of these records. A major project completed during 1975, in cooperation with the Sudbury Bicentennial Committee, was the publication of The War Years, the text of the Town Meeting Minutes. The booklet also contains a subject and name index in addition to marginal notes and is a valuable historical reference. Cooperation with the Town of Wayland on historical research is continuing and it is hoped that the plot plan of the earliest Sudbury cemetery (now in Wayland) will be completed during A card file of the names of those buried there together with the gravestone inscription is also in progress. 86

88 In connection with our joint effort,_ Mr. Palmer True of Wayland has donated to Sudbury his research on Revolutionary soldiers buried in the old cemetery. We have recently donated to Wayland a copy of the typed Town Records covering the period , together with the subject and name index. In compliance with the request of the Town Report Preparation Commfttee which was supported both at the Annual Town Meeting and at the December Special Town Meeting 1 the full text of the 11 Proceedings 11 of town meetings does not appear this year In the Annual Town Report as it has for the past eighty-five years, Found elsewhere in the Town Report is a summary of action taken at town meeting prepared by the Town Report Committee, Five hundred copies of the full text of the Proceedings, as usually prepared by this office, have been printed separately and are avai I able to the public at the office. I hope that al 1 citizens who need, or who are interested in having, the full Proceedings, will be able to come to the office before the limited supply is exhausted. As I look forward to another busy year as Town Clerk, J would like to thank all boards committees and officers, as well as the citizens of the Town, for their good cooperation during the past year.
