ANNUAL REPORT OF SELECTMEN
To the Citizens of the Town of Milford, Mass .:
We hereby submit our report for the fiscal year end- ing December 31, 1923, with an itemized account of the expenditures of the various departments under our supervision :
HIGHWAYS
The report of the highway surveyor, who has ex- clusive control of the ordinary repairs of highways, town ways, streets, sidewalks and bridges, will be found under a separate heading.
We recommend that a reasonable amount of money be appropriated for highways, town ways, streets, side- walks and bridges so that they may be kept in proper condition.
Medway Street from B. & R. R. crossing to the junction of East Main and Medway Streets was com- pleted during the year by the highway department under the direction of the Department of Public Works, Divi- sion of Highways.
Land at the junction of said streets was purchased as directed by the vote of the town.
Cedar Street from a point near the Milford Hopkin- ton town line to a point about 5,000 feet in a southerly direction was rebuilt under the supervision of the Depart- ment of Public Works, Division of Highways.
We have petitioned the Department of Public Works, Division of Highways, and the County Commissioners for another allotment of money to complete the rebuild- ing of said street.
If an allotment is made we recommend that the town appropriate an equal amount with the State and County to complete the work.

18
STREET LIGHTS
We gave consideration to the matter of renewing the contract with the M. E. L. & P. Co. for street lighting and endeavored to obtain a reduction in the price of lights, but were unsuccessful, therefore the contract made with the company in 1922 is still in force.
TRACTORS
At the last annual town meeting $4,000.00 was raised and appropriated for the purpose of purchasing two tractors for use of the highway department.
Upon advice of members of the finance committee and other citizens, one tractor was purchased for $1,850.00 As improvements are being made in the con- struction of tractors, we decided to give the matter of the purchase of another tractor further consideration. We feel the highway department may be able to do the work required during the present winter with one tractor.
CENTRAL STREET DRAIN
At the last annual town meeting $5,050.00 was raised and appropriated for the purpose of rebuilding drain to relieve the Milford Shoe Company property from being flooded by water backing into the cellar.
After a conference with several citizens and an in- vestigation of conditions we decided to remove a sewer connection that obstructed the drain. This was done at a small expense. As the Milford Shoe Co. have electrified their power plant the water backing into the cellar will not interfere with the power but may damage their stock room. We therefore recommend that the balance of the appropriation be available for use if necessary this spring to give the relief to the Milford Shoe Co. that they are entitled to.
TOWN ACCOUNTANT
At the last annual town meeting the town voted to
19
petition for the installation of an accounting system by the Commonwealth.
We recommend that the town vote to authorize the selectmen to appoint a town accountant under the pro- visions of sections 55-61 of Chapter 41, General Laws.
CARE OF TREES
We recommend that a reasonable amount of money be appropriated for the care of shade trees and the plant- ing of young trees.
