9 <br />;463 <br /> Selectmen's Report <br /> 1887 <br /> 1548 <br /> 1476 <br /> 14-4 To the Citizens of the Town of Mashpee: <br /> The Board of Selectmen hereby present their Annual <br /> 1091 Report for the year ending December 31, 1955. — <br /> W-1 <br />;851 The over-all picture of this past year has been one of <br /> progress. In high-lighting some of the activities in our <br /> town which have a direct bearing on future developments, <br /> we might mention the initiative taken by our Park Com- <br /> dssioners who play such an important part in making our <br /> recreational spots attractive and enjoyable. This program is <br /> important because it instills a sense of pride in our resi- <br /> dents and is instrumental in attracting vacationers who <br /> in many instances have found Mashpee the desirable place <br /> to settle permanently. <br /> The Highway Department successfully completed all <br /> new construction and maintenance work provided for. It <br /> hardly seems necessary to mention what an important asset <br /> good roads are in the development of our town. <br /> We are especially pleased with our newly purchased <br /> Police Cruiser. Not only does the cruiser demand utmost <br /> respect from potential traffic violators and other law break- <br /> ers; it is also equipped to serve as an emergency ambu- <br /> lance. The town has previously accepted Chapter 40, Section <br /> 97 of the General Laws, which provides for a full time <br /> Police.Chief, other than a board member. We hope to ful- <br /> fill this obligation in the near future. <br /> The appointment of a full time Fire Chief has rendered <br /> a great sense of security. Chief Peters has devoted full time <br /> in the efficient operation and maintenance of this function. <br />
