ARTICLE 2. The following STATE OF THE TOWN address was rendered by James J.
Sullivan, Jr., and was accepted as a report of progress.
State of the Town
By now we are all familiar with our by -law requiring the selectmen to report at each
annual meeting on the state of the Town.
1978 was a year in which the Town continued to move forward building an even better
base for the future.
The most notable physical change was the addition to our police station. A project
90% completed by year end and due primarily to the hard work of our Building Committee
and Clerk of Works, as well as all others involved. This project may well have been a first,
in that it was completed this year under the original cost. You will recall, that of a total
estimated cost of some $360,000, $290,000 came from an Economic Development Adminis-
tration Grant. This badly needed facility, now completed, provides the space and security
needed and has made an already efficient operation even more so.
