Mr. George K. Lewis was also elected to the Board of Selectmen for the year 1961 to March 1962 to fill the unexpired term of Mr. Archibald Cox. Mr. Cox resigned as of March 6, 1961, to go to Washington as he was chosen by President Kennedy to be Solicitor General of the United States. We are proud of his appointment and certainly wish him the best. The jury list was drawn as required by law. The list of jurors can be found in the Town Report. The Selectmen met regularly for their regular meetings on the first and third Mondays of every month. There were several daytime meetings other than the regular ones. This gave people an opportunity to see the Selectmen who would not possibly have a chance at the regular meetings. Mr. Thomas Linnehan is the member of the Committee on Town Government which was established March 7, 1956. Mr. George Lewis is the member on the Condemnation Committee. The Board, with the Trustees of the Allen Fund and the Board of Public Welfare, met and disbursed the income received from the Charitable Funds. Mr. Charles Jameson who served the Town of Wayland on the Finance Committee died during the year. We, as Selectmen, as well as all the citizens of Wayland, will miss his dedicated service. Mr. Carlisle D. Scotland died during the year. He was a member of the Welfare Board. The Town will miss his services on the Board and also as one of the Trustees of the Parmenter Health Center. Once again the Board of Selectmen fulfilled the following duties: 1. Appointed Town Officials not elected by official ballot, such as Finance Committee, Executive Secretary, Policemen, Building and Wiring Inspector, Plumbing and Gas Inspector, Board of Appeals. 2. Issued licenses. 3. Approved bills incurred by other Town Departments. 4. Acted on complaints. 5. Passed on Betterments and Acceptances of Town roads. 6. Represented the Town at the State House, and had dealings with other towns. 7. Conferred with other Town Officials. 8. Contacted our State and Federal Representatives. Once again we wish to thank all committees for their excellent efforts on behalf of the Town and all Towm Officials and Employees for their cooperation during the past year.
