PROGRESS REPORT FROM THE OFFICE OF THE SELECTMEN We respectfully submit to the citizens of New- market a summary of the projects undertaken during the past year. The work at the Town Hall has advanced to a point where we are able to report that the public toilet facilities, located in the basement of the Town Hall, are now a reality. The Police Department has been moved from the first floor to the basement. The area used by the Police Department consists of a new cell block, private office for the Chief of Police and office space for the officer on duty. The Record Storage area has been fire proofed and heated. The Court Room is still in the construction stage, but is advanced enough to be used for committee meetings and is also used for our Selectmen's meetings. A sidewalk and curb has been installed along the main street sections of the public parking lot. The widening and surfacing of New Road has been started and we are able to report that approxi- mately six tenths of a mile has been completed. The junction of Elm and Main Streets has been rebuilt in cooperation with the State Highway De- partment. We have decided to make Central St. a one way street. The proper signs have been ordered and will be installed on arrival. Traffic will be able to enter Central St. from Spring St. only. The Old Dump Lot on Beech Street extension has been purchased and plans are now being formulated for the construction of a public works equipment storage building. Our regular meetings are held on the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays of every month ; all meetings are open to the public and we welcome your attendance. We take this time to thank all Town Officers and Citizens for their help in making this past years work a more pleasant and gainful task. NICHOLAS ZUK, FRANK M. SCHANDA EDWARD J.
