ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SELECTMEN.
TO THE CITIZENS OF THE TOWN OF MILFORD, MASS :
We herewith submit our report for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1921, with an itemized account'of the expenses of the various departments under our supervision.
HIGHWAYS.
The report of the highway surveyor who has exclusive control of the ordinary repairs of highways, town ways, streets and bridges, will be found under a separate heading.
We recommend that an amount of money equal to the amount appropriated in 1921 for highways be appropriated this year, and that the highway surveyor be requested to ex- pend part of the general appropriation on Cedar street, in or- der that said street may be put in a passable condition.
Your selectmen have had a conference with the Associate Commissioners, Division of Highways, Department of Public Works, relative to an allotment of money for the rebuilding of Med way street from the junction of East Main and Medway streets, to the Medway-Milford town line.
The Commissioners assured the selectmen that if the county of Worcester and the town of Milford would each ap- propriate the sum of ten thousand dollars they would make a state allotment of ten thousand dollars, and rebuild the road this year.
We have petitioned the county commissioners for an allot- ment, as required by law, and have asked for a hearing on the matter.
We recommend that the town appropriate ten thousand dollars, provided the state and county do likewise.
STREET LIGHTING. -
The severe sleet storm on November 27, 28, and 29 crip- pled all wire service in Milford, and all commercial and street
17
light circuits were affected and the town was without electric lights for many days.
We made an adjustment with the Milford Electric Light & Power Co. of the bill for street lighting for the month of December, 1921.
The amount of the street lighting bill for said month was $440.00, $398.25 less than the regular monthly bill for street lighting when all lights are in operation.
We expect a reduction in the lighting bill for the month of January, 1922, as all the lights were not in operation dur- ing the whole of said month.
CARE OF TREES.
The severe storm above referred to did a great amount of damage to shade trees in all parts of the town, and considera- ble attention will have to be given to the trees in order to save them.
The tree warden has been handicapped in his work on ac- count of the lack of funds in his department. We recom- mend that his appropriation for care of trees be an amount sufficient to properly do the work required.
PLANNING BOARD.
Sections 70, 71, 72 of Chapter 41, General Laws of Massa- chusetts, require that every city and town having a popula- tion of more than ten thousand at the last preceding National or State Cen sus, shall create a planning board whose duties are defined by said Chapter.
We recommend that a planning board be created at the annual town meeting.
The following is an itemized report of the receipts and expenditures of the various departments.
