ANNUAL REPORT OF THE BOARD OF SELECTMEN.
TO THE CITIZENS OF THE TOWN OF MILFORD :
The report of the Board of Selectmen for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1916, is herewith submitted.
HIGHWAYS.
At the annual town meeting in March, and at a special town meeting in May, special appropriations were made for- the re-building of certain streets over which there was a great amount of travel, and which were greatly in need of repairs.
It was voted : That Congress street from the junction of Ex :hange street, and extending in a northerly direction, and Congress street, beginning at the junction of Fountain street, and extending in a northerly direction, be rebuilt under the supervision of the State Highway Commission.
It was also voted : That School and Purchase streets be rebuilt, under the supervision of the State Highway Commis- sion, from the junction of School and Spruce streets to Wales. street.
2,525 feet of tarvia bound road 18 feet wide was built on lower Congress street, within the appropriation, but as most of the work was done in cold weather it is impossible at this time to say whether or not some patching will be necessary during the year 1917.
On the upper part of Congress street, from Fountain street northerly, a water bound macadam road was built, 2,412 feet in length and 14 feet in width. This work is not. as yet complete, there being some more work to be done in the spring.
On this street from where the tarvia bound road ends and the water bound road begins, there remains a small sec-
17
tion to be rebuilt to connect both, but the amount of money remaining in the appropriations will not be sufficient to do this work.
In order that as much of the work as possible be com- pleted on School and Purchase streets during the year, the engineer from the Highway Commission agreed to allow the selectmen to have the local superintendent of streets rebuild from the junction of School and Spruce streets to Dilla street.
$9,000.00 out of the appropriation was allotted to the su- perintendent to do this work and he succeeded, with that amount of money, to build an excellent tarvia beund road, which should wear for some time.
First class trap rock was purchased for this work, as the engineer advised us to discontinue quarring at the to vn quarry, as the stone procured there was too soft and not suit- able for good road building.
From our experience during the year we are convinced that stone for permanent road work can be purchased and de- livered on the job at less expense than it can be crushed at the town's quarry and delivered.
A tarvia bound road was built on West street, from Quin- lan street to the junction of Congress street. The $2,000 00 appropriated was insufficient to do the work and the balance of the expense was taken from the regular appropriation for highways.
A number of property owners on this street petitioned . the selectmen to extend the work to the junction of Congress street, and we complied with their request.
A tarvia bound road was built on Pearl street, and a water bound road on Mechanic street out of the regular appropria- tion for highways.
Grant street was resurfaced and is now in excellent con- dition.
Owing to the slippery condition of the West street hill, South Main street hill and the hill on Main street, near the hospital, it was necessary to apply sealing coats of tarvia and
18
to cover with sand in order to make the travelling safer for horses. This work was appreciated by those who have oc- casion to drive over these roads.
Whitney street, Madden avenue and West Pine street extension were laid out during the year.
A great amount of work was performed by the highway department, and the superintendent and the men under him worked faithfully.
The work on the upper end of Purchase street was start- ed but it was not completed on account of weather conditions. A water bound macadam road is planned, and operations will be renewed in the spring.
Upon petition of the drivers and laborers in the depart- ment for an increase of wages we decided that the town should pay a wage to the men so employed equal to that which was being paid by contractors, and consequently an in- crease of 5 cents per hour was allowed.
We also allowed them a half-holiday each Saturday after- noon during the summer months.
In making appropriation for the care of highways dur- ing the year 1917, the citizens should take into consideration the increased cost of labor and material, and appropriate suf- ficient money to enable the highway surveyor to properly care for the number of miles of streets within the town.
East Main street and Central street should be resurfaced, as these streets are in poor condition and being much travel- led; special appropriations would seem necessary to do the work properly.
SIDEWALKS.
The work on North street sidewalk is not complete but sufficient money is available to finish the work in the spring.
The sidewalk in front of Town Hall building was raised above the street level to conform to the new steps. We think this was a great improvement, and adds to the appearances about the building.
In several places about town the concrete sidewalks are
·
in need of repair and we recommend a reasonable appropria- tion for the care of sidewalks.
WATERING STREETS AND LAYING DUST.
During the year oil and water were used on our streets. We find this system to be the most economical.
The Milford & Uxbridge Street Railway Company in- creased the cost of the use of their sprinkler, and in order to have the same service continued it will be necessary to have a larger appropriation for this department.
TOWN HALL BUILDING.
The work of repairing the tower was completed during the year. The building was painted, out of a special appro- priation for painting and repairing steps.
The amount of money available after the bills for paint- ing and supervision of the work were paid was not sufficient to put in new steps, and as repairing was out of the question, your board thought it would be wise business policy to have steps that would be serviceable and ornamental, and contract- ed for granite steps at a reasonable figure.
Part of the money for this purpose being taken from the appropriation for street lighting, which appropriation prom- ised to show a balance on account of the changing over of the town's lighting system.
We feel that the work will be satisfactory to a great ma- jority of the citizens.
We recommend an appropriation for ornamental lights on the buttresses.
STREET LIGHTING.
The committee appointed by the town, of which the se- lectmen were a part, to make a contract with the Milford Elec- tric Light & Power Company for the town's street lighting, have attended to their duty and a contract was signed and about all the lights contracted for have been installed.
On account of the sudden refusal of the Globe Gas Light
20
Company to operate their gasoline lamps, and the amount of labor necessary to change over the lighting system by the Electric Light Company, the town was in darkness for some time. Your Board and the Company labored hard to have the new lights in operation as soon as possible, and the in- convenience caused the citizens could not be avoided. You were very patient, and now that you have one of the best lighted towns in the state you will have an opportunity to . appreciate the work that has been done.
We, the members of the Board of Selectmen, recommend that the number of lights now in operation be continued and such additional lights as may be necessary in the out-lying districts be installed, if in the judgment of the selectmen they are necessary.
MOTH SUPPRESSION.
We recommend an appropriation for the suppression of the gypsy and brown tail moths sufficient to carry out the work as directed by the state forester.
The following is an itemized report of the receipts and expenses of the departments under our supervision.
