Home My WebLink AboutAnnual Report 1954MANSFIELDP G /1 o f26� y oLUf2 MANSFIELD is an attractive urban community of fine homes and prosperous industries (population 744 Federal census Ig5o) twenty-eight miles from Boston and nineteen miles from Providence on the mainline of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad, ONLY a half hour's train ride from Boston or Providence, an uncrowded and congenial community of Mansfield's convenient size, which has the year round social and economic stability of a well-groomed municipality; as well, as relative proximity to shore and mountain recreation and vacation resorts, becomes increasingly r popular with those who would "live in the country and work in the city." MANSFIELD will have its 2ooth birthday as a corporate municipality on Aug- ; , ust 23, 1975• Originally a part of the Norton . North Precinct, the villago was in- corporated as a town on August 23, 1775. IN 1921. the community was among the very first in Massachusetts to adopt the Town Manager plan of government in which a Board of five Selectmen appoint ;i a Manager to direct much of the town's business, with some exceptions, notably the School Department which is conducted by a School Committee of five members'. and a professional administrative head, or superintendent. THE'CommiuNt2Y has all of the normal municipal services police, fire, highway, water, municipal; electric light, public health, public library, town account- ing, town treasurer and collector of taxes.. It also has an active Planning Board, which, by vote of the town in 1953, operates under Section 81 A,';'Chapter '41 of the General Laws of Massachusetts. The Planning Board has liberal powers in the planning of the future layout of the community and public improvements of many types, including control Over subdivisions. THE TOWN MEETING of February 19$3, voted 115 to 58 to adopt a pro tective Zoning By-law which provides the basic arrangement of areas for business, industry, residences and'. agriculture. The By law became effective .May 20 1953• THE ZONING. areas on sites of 15,000 huildin¢ lot is i0,000 fe lot of T requires construction of homes in Residence A feet or more, in Residence B areas the minimum in Agricultural zones no house may be built on a Mancfleld had sn far escaped sudden ex- pansion by the; so-called "row type', developments OUR MASSIVE, (3o room;. new six-year High School buildings, : including.... a 600 seat auditorium' and a very large gymnasium, were opened in September 1954, built on an expansive site of twenty acres with an attractive woodland backdrop on East Street (adjoining which the town owns, on the east, twenty more acres and on the north the well developed Memorial Park with baseball, softball and football fields, spectator stands and clubhouses), and equipped at a cost of $1,585,000• Mansfield has lifted its educational system to a very' high level comparable with the most effective in the state. DESCRIBED BY experts as: one of the finest school structures in all New England, the school was built with a municipal bond issue and the contribution of forty-one per of the 'total cost by the Massachusetts School Building Assistance Commission. 5 MANSFIELD's tax rate of $59.20 in 1954 is by no means the staggering fig- ure which it appears to be when it is related closely to the comparatively low valu- ations on Mansfield real estate. This relation has been in force for many years, andl there is no reason to believe it will change immediately. FoR THE INFORMATION of new people from other states where many- "extra" taxes prevail, the single property tax is the only levy assessed against prop- erty owners. There are no sidewalk, no sewer, no school, and no fire or water district levies, although acceptance of the state Betterments Act is the basis of building cement sidewalks. MUNICIPAL garbage andash and refuse collection are provided in most parts of the town year 'round. Many towns of our size do not have this advantageous and healthful service. In the summer the garbage collection is made twice weekly; rubbish collection is made twice monthly:'.. MANSFIELD enjoys fine rail service to Boston and Providence which is at- tractive to those who are employed in the cities. Ten or more inbound and outbound Boston trains make the run in about thirty-eight minutes. Mansfield business exec- utives who travel widely find the nearby Route 128 Station on the New Haven Rail- road convenient for boardingwest-boundexpress trains. IN THE SPRING of 1955 construction will start on the.. elimination of four railroad crossings at grade on the New Haven's main line atan overall cost of $3,500,000. The railroad will contributeanother $500,0001 for relocationof some businesses on the Taunton branch.. Many people will be displaced by the project but in the long run the town will .have a:mueh improved appearance.

Approximately three miles of water trenches were repaired, excavated and filled with new gravel, then rolled and patched. These roads will be re- surfaced this year. that hit Mansfield on Aug - The two hurricanes a ust 31 and September 11 kept the Department very busy for the rest of the season. The new front-end loader purchased for the Department proved to be a great help during the hurricanes, as Mansfield was among the first to have all roads open soon after the storm. A considerable amount of time was spent on drainage. Two large culverts were built on West Street; one with 36 -inch concrete pipe, another with 3o -inch concrete pipe. - These were built to replace two obsolete stone &Iverts. Rubbish collection has greatly increased in the past few years. More streets have been added. The Department has also cared for cemeteries, parks, commons, and playgrounds,. and has also helped on several occasions in expanding: Little League activities.

Mansfield has accomplished much during the year and we are grateful for the opportunity to have contributed to this progress. The coming year will mark the 35th anniversary of the Mansfield Planning Board. Our `Board is one of the pioneers in the field of Town Planning.. Massachu- setts was the first state in the Union to enact plamring laws and Mansfield's Planning Board was one of the earliest to be instituted under those laws. In 1953 the town adopted a zoning by-law. Also in 1953 our Planning Board, by an amendment to the Town Charter, was given the advantages and re- sponsibilities of the most. recent planning legislation. A greatly increased work load was thereby imposed on the Board—much more than it could +efficiently :handle. Consequently, a proposal was made to organize an auxiliary group and to institute an associated operational method—new concepts in the Planning field. As a result, our efforts, and therefore the overall planning function, will be. greatly expanded as our .Planning Board Associates gradually increase their activities. It has been said that "in the present world man cannot live for himself) alone." Planning in a community requires that the interests of all shall be considered and that whatever is done shall be for the best interests of the whole community. This has been, and will continue tote, the aim of the Planning Board. As in the past, we will continue to give whatever assistance's we can to any citizen or resident need- ing our help in any of the matters that pertain to the work of the Planning. Board. Our report is brief, lack of space forbids that it be more comprehensive.. How ever, we have tried to convey, in a small way, a generale outline of: the operations and endeavour of the Planning Board. Yours for a better Mansfield, Leon W. Dean, Chairman John B.
