ANNUAL REPORT
ANNUAL REPORT OF THE BOARD OF SELECTMEN
To the Citizens of Attleboro:
We herewith submit the report of our doings for the year ending Dec. 31, 1914 and the last report to be submitted as a town. The Board organized March 4th. by the choice of M. F. Ashley, Chairman and W. J. Newman was re-ap- pointed clerk.
We wish to congratulate the citizens upon the growth of the town during another year and al- though we are passing through a depression in business we trust the town will soon regain its normal condition and continue its forward move- ment as a city even faster than as a town.
On retiring, we wish to thank the citizens for confidence expressed and bestowed upon us and we feel that we have put forward our best efforts for the welfare of the people and that our ad- ministration has been a success, while we may not have satisfied all of the people, our aim has been to work for the best results of the town as a whole.
Current and Incidental Account
We regret very much that there is an over- draft in this account but we were, unable to see, when the appropriations were made in the spring, what would be required to meet the extra expense
11
ANNUAL REPORT
of town meetings and elections and the change from a town to a city government and we found as the year drew to a close that the fund, as ap- propriated, was far short of what was required and an overdraft was the result. The financial statement following will show how this money has been expended.
Street Lighting
The lighting of the streets, as in years past has been done by the Attleboro Steam & Electric Co. Some new lights have been added and several changes made and the results are very satisfac- tory. There is a continual demand for more street lights in the outlying sections of the town and to meet this demand, as the town or city grows larger appropriation will have to be made from year to year.
Highways and Bridges
We again repeat what we said one year ago, namely, that money enough should be appropri- ated to place the streets in a condition demanded by the citizens of the town.
We have tried to put the centre of the town and the main highways leading therefrom in a condition such as would be lasting and not re- quire constant attention, but it has been impossi- ble with the money at our disposal to extend the permanent improvements to any great distance. The streets were in such condition after the instal- lation of the sewers that it has been impossible to make them satisfactory either to the board or the citizens since that time, but we think an improvement has been made and that in a few
12
ANNUAL REPORT
years with proper attention the condition com- plained of will gradually disappear.
We are satisfied that a binder should be used to preserve the surface of all macadam roads such as was used on North Main St. between the Bronson Building and Mechanics St .; although it costs more in the first place it is cheaper in the end. The same method was employed on Emory St. from Pleasant to Brook St. and on Park St. below Maple St. as far as the Sanitarium gravel bank, a part of Newport Ave. at So. Attleboro, and a part of County St. and South Ave. This binder to be most effective should be applied before the street has been oiled.
During this year we have used Dustilene Oil as a dust layer, while it costs more per gallon we believe it is more lasting and cheaper in the end.
Curbing and Concreting Sidewalks
The financial report and the report of the super- intendent of streets will show what has been done in this department during the year.
Special Appropriation for Streets
In regard to the streets where special appro- priations were made we have tried to put them in the best possible condition in so far as the money would allow.
Before leaving this subject we wish to again call attention to the fact that the balance of the loop should be permanently improved in the immediate future.

ANNUAL REPORT
Police Department
When we made our recommendations one year ago we fully believed that $8,500 and the receipts of the department would meet the requirements for 1914 but, as in some other departments we found that we were mistaken and we are obliged to report a large overdraft. The main reasons for this overdraft can be found in the falling off of fines of nearly $1,000 from what they were in 1913 and an accident to the Police Auto which cost nearly $200 which could not be foreseen.
Soldiers' Relief Account
This is another department in which there is a small overdraft. The amount expended being about the same as was appropriated in 1913, in which year only about $2,000 was used, andit seemed likely that the same would suffice for 1914 but the demand was such that $2,250 was used.
Below are some recommendations and amounts which we believe will be required to meet the ex- penses of the various departments with which we have had to do, for the coming year.
We recommend that the City purchase a piece of land off Forest St. in the rear of the town lot adjacent to the Railroad to enlarge the town lot so as to obtain a siding and do away with leasing land for oil tank and paying for cartage on coal etc, and at the same time until same is filled, securing a place for a public dump.
We recommend the following appropriation :
Highways and Bridges $30,000.00
Dust Laying . 6,000.00
Tar for Streets 2,500.00
