Selectmen's Report


Selectmen's Report


The selectmen met February 21, and organized as follows: G. Vernon Warner, chairman and veteran's agent; Walter E. Kellogg, Jr., chairman Board of Wel- fare; Donald S. Outhuse, clerk.


Fifty-two regular meetings and seven special meet- ings were held during the year.


The Chesterfield Road Curve Elimination job was completed at a cost of $24,700. The money for this job was provided 100% by the State.


Chapter 81 construction money was spent on Nash Street. This work will be completed and extended in 1952.


Chapter 90 construction was started late and will be completed in the spring.


The Selectmen at the regular meeting with the Coun- ty Commissioners and Massachusetts Department of Pub- lic Works when plans are made for the coming year, feel- ing that our town was falling behind in the Chapter 90 hard road program, requested an increase in Chapter 90 construction money. We asked for $5,000 from the State, $2,500 from the County and $2,500 to be raised by the town. For several years the town has appropriated $1,000, and got $4,000 worth of Chapter 90 Roads. By raising $2,500, we would get $10,000 worth. We strong- ly recommend this increase in the town's appropriation.


We again request $2,500 be appropriated for the Town Hall. The building needs painting inside and out,

Selectmen's Report


the windows need replacing, the room on the right as you enter the building, now used as a catch-all, could furnish your town officers with some much needed space. $2,500 won't do all this, but it will make a good start. Regard- less of action taken on a new school building, your Town Hall will have to be maintained.


We recommend the purchase of a truck body sander to help keep our winter roads in better condition. This sander can be operated by one man, and do the job fast- er, better and more efficiently. The money for this sand- er can be taken from the Road Machinery Earnings Ac- count.


We wish to thank the other town officers, committees and townspeople for their cooperation and support during the past year.

Selectmen's Going-Away Committee


Report of Servicemen's Going-away Committee


Early this year the Selectmen were faced with the problem of giving a going-away present to each boy or girl entering the armed forces from this town instead of paying Northampton to give something to our young peo- ple. They proposed that a Veterans' fund be raised and a food sale was held in Williamsburg and one in Hayden- ville on the same day, which netted $241.20. A commit- tee was then appointed, including one Selectman, to de- cide upon a gift for those already gone, and a subscription to the Reader's Digest for one year was sent to the fol- lowing twenty :


Thomas Algustoski, Donald Baldwin, Francis Bar- ron, Robert Collins, Neil Carter, Lawrence Coogan, Jr., Joseph DeCastra, Robert Durbin, Edwin Everett, Don Harlow, Albert Kopka, Marion Johnson, Philip Morin, James Magdalenski, William Parrow, Charles Showalter, Robert Smith, Albert Warner, Charles Warner, Henry Warner. Two box lunches given to boys leaving for service by Northampton were paid for. There is at present $189.19 in the fund but four more subscriptions will be sent to Thomas Coogan, Jr., Aaron Brown, Paul Blanchard and Nathan Rice as soon as correct addresses are available.


Several letters were received by the chairman telling how much the boys are enjoying this gift.


WALTER E. KELLOGG, JR., Chairman, MRS. ROSELLA BLANCHARD, MRS. CLARA RUSTEMEYER.

Publc Welfare appropriation is about 27% of total appropriation.


The Town receives money from the Federal, State and neighboring communities to support the needs of those under Public Welfare. It also pays some money to neighboring communities.


The total cost of Public Welfare approximates $50,000. See Ac- countant's report.


The new Section-"Aid to the Totally Disabled"-is a new legal requirement. This new and large appropriation accounts for the reduc- tion under "Town Aid." Some cases will be transferred.
