10 <br /> Report of the Board of Selectmen <br /> H <br /> Building .permits representing over Three and a Quarter <br /> Million ($3,250,000.00) in new construction, renovations, ex- <br /> pansion and repairs have been reported by the Building In- <br /> spector. This represents a tremendous rate of growth, and <br /> among the new developments now under way are C'otuit <br /> Corners, Mashpee Shores, Lakewood and Rainbow Lane. Still <br /> others are in the process of being cleared through our Plan- <br /> is <br /> ning and Appeals Boards. <br /> f We salute the Planning Board and the Professional Plan- <br /> ning Committee of the Town for the composition and accept- <br /> ance of the new zoning, which we feel will enhance even more <br /> the type of development and growth our Town is presently <br /> enjoying. <br /> Chapter 81 highway projects have been completed, and <br /> street lights installed on public ways as requested. Each year <br /> our Christmas light display is enhanced and more beautiful <br /> than the preceding year. <br /> This year we will ask the townspeople to appropriate the <br /> sum of $15,000.00 for the stabilization fund to help finance <br /> our municipal needs, as we are well aware of the shortage of <br /> space in our schools. The present request for three portable <br /> schoolrooms is to help alleviate these conditions. Also, we <br /> are in dire need of a new police and fire complex. <br /> We wish to express our special thanks to the Conservation <br /> Commission for the outstanding work they have done this <br /> year; in :particular the acquisition of the Alper land which <br /> was a gift to the Town by Professor Benedict S. Alper. This <br /> consists of 40 acres, more or less, with approximately 1200 <br /> feet on Johns Pond. Without their efforts this would not have <br /> been accomplished. They presently have contacts with others <br /> which we hope will lead to more gifts of this nature for the <br /> benefit of all. <br /> This past year the Town purchased a new police cruiser <br /> and a new ambulance the cost of which was shared by the <br /> Federal Government. A new building has been erected on <br /> Town Hall grounds to serve as a combination Police and <br />
