Annual Report of the Board of Selectmen.


TO THE CITIZENS OF THE TOWN OF MILFORD :


The annual report of the Selectmen, including the depart- ments under their charge, is herewith submitted.


We feel that the appointment of a permanent finance committee by the town will prove beneficial, as it will carefully consider the items of appropriations askel for by the various departments, and will make such suggestions and recommen- dations as it considers of value in carrying on the business of the town.


HIGHWAYS.


We have carried out the vote of the town in rebuilding a part of West street for the appropriation allowed. A detailed statement of the amount of work done on this street is con- tained in the report of the superintendent of highways.


We recommend that an appropriation be made for the purpose of continuing the rebuilding of said street to Con- gress street.


Main street, from North Bow street to Coolidge Block, Church street, Baker slip and Bragg slip were rebuilt out of the regular highway appropriation and are now in a first-class condition.


West Walnut street was laid out and considerable work done, but the street is not yet in a safe condition and it will be necessary to expend more money to make this street passa- ble.


SIDEWALKS.


A special appropriation was made for the construction of a concrete walk on Poplar street, and that work has been com- pleted.


The work on the Meade street sidewalk was not completed


15


owing to frost, and a balance of the appropriation remains to finish the building of the sidewalk this year.


Numerous sidewalks have been repaired throughout the town and are now in good condition.


We have made our suggestions to the permanent finance committee as to the amount of money that we consider will be necessary to pay the expenses of the various departments under our supervision.


Main street from Water street to the Hopedale Town line and Depot street from the N. Y., N. H. & H. R. R crossing to South Main street should be rebuilt in a first-class manner, and we feel that the finance committee will consider these matters in making up the appropriations.


The crushing plant and road roller are in poor condition and the advisability of expending money for repairs has been taken up with the finance committee.


DUST LAYING.


During the past year four carloads of oil were used in the laying of dust on our streets, and we consider the use of oil for this purpose is more practical and economical than the use of water, and appreciated by the citizens in general.


TOWN HALL.


A new boiler was installed in the Town Hall building during the past year and it is giving excellent satisfaction.


The roof of building was covered with asbestos shingles and now is water tight and guaranteed for ten years.


The tower should be repaired as it is considered unsafe and the exterior of the building should be painted. A special appropriation would be necessary for this purpose.


STREET LIGHTING.


The contracts for street lighting expire during this year and as the matter of investigating the lighting question has been placed in the hands of a special committee appointed by the town, we have no recommendations to make on this ques- tion.


I6


The insurance on the building expires during the present year and we recommend that the policies be renewed.


MOTH SUPPRESSION.


We recommend an appropriation for the suppression of gypsy and brown tail moths sufficient to carry on the work as directed by the State Forester.


Following will be found the financial statement of the appropriations and expenses of the departments under our supervision, also the report of the highway superintendent.
