ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SELECTMEN.
TO THE CITIZENS OF THE TOWN OF MILFORD :
The annual report of the Board of Selectmen is herewith submitted.
HIGHWAYS.
We have carried out the recommendation of the finance commission, approved by the town, in the rebuilding of Cedar street, out of the appropriation for that purpose.
About 1500 jeet was macadamized, with a tarvia binder, and that part of the street is in excellent condition.
Main and East Main streets from the hospital to Med way street, South Main street from Main street to Depot street were resurfaced with tarvia binder.
Forest street, from Depot street, a distance of 800 feet, was macadamized with tarvia binder.
The work of rebuilding a part of Daniels street was com- pleted.
West Walnut street extension was completed out of a special appropriation made for that purpose and the street is in good condition.
A new boiler and engine were purchased for the crushing plant out of the regular appropriation for highw tys.
A quarry has been opened on land owned by the town, off Green street, and all the stone used by the department was quarried, crushed and delivered wherever needed throughout the town
Heretofore the department purchased trap rock. We feel that the department has economized in this respect.
We recommend the purchase of a road roller; the present roller is unfit for service and not worth repairing.
Several bridges throughout the town are in an unsafe con- dition, and on account of the heavy traffic over them, we feel
16
that they should be re-constructed of cement and we recom- mend an appropriation for this purpose.
We recommend that West street, from Congress street to High street, be rebuilt. This street is in a very poor condi- tion.
A special appropriation should be made for this purpose.
SIDEWALKS.
During the year sidewalks were constructed on Purchase street, Grove street and Genoa avenue, out of the regular ap- propriation. Park Terrace sidewalk was constructed out of a special appropriation.
We recommend that a special appropriation be made for the purpose of resurfacing several sidewalks which are in a dangerous condition.
WATERING STREETS.
During the year oil and water were used for dust laying, and we find this system to be the most economical.
TOWN HALL BUILDING.
At the annual town meeting an appropriation of $1500.00 was made for the purpose of repairing cupola, painting build- ing, and new steps.
We employed an architect to examine the tower and he found it in an unsafe condition and he recommended immedi- ate repairs.
The local contractors were invited to bid for the work and it was awarded to the lowest bidder.
The expense of repairs to cupola was in excess of the ap- propriation and no funds were available to paint building, or for new steps.
Dewey Hall was painted, the expense being paid from the regular appropriation for Town Hall.
STREET LIGHTING.
As the matter of street lighting is still under investiga- tion we have no recommendation to make at this time other than the fact that at present there are no contracts with either
17
lighting company and we feel that it would be to the town's advantage to contract for its street lighting, in case the town should not establish a municipal lighting plant.
MOTH SUPPRESSION.
We recommend an appropriation for the suppression of gypsy and brown tail moths sufficient to carry out the work as directed by the state forester.
