Annual Report


Report of Selectmen


To the Citizens of the Town of Berkley :


In submitting our annual report we would call attention to a certain act of the legislature that may be of some interest to the town. A bill was passed this year which gives the City of Taunton the right to supply water to the Town of Berkley. The City of Taunton was in no way responsible for the pas- sage of this act, and are not seeking an opportunity, nor are they apparently anxious to extend their water supply. While we have no recommendation to offer, this act makes it possible for the town to get water providing it is done within three years from the passage of the bill.


A franchise has been granted to the Taunton Gas Light Co., . giving them the right to lay pipes and supply gas to the in- habitants of the town. They have laid about 2600 feet of pipe on Berkley street, which will reach thirteen houses. In a short time they undoubtedly will lay more pipe in the town, as they are willing to go anywhere that they can earn a reasonable amount on their investment.


In our report last year we recommended an appropriation of $500.00 to cover our portion of the expense of repairing Berkley and Dighton Bridge, and that amount was raised. We made that recommendation after consulting with the Selectmen of Dighton and being assured by them that Dighton would make an appropriation to repair the bridge, which they failed to do, therefore nothing was done. The bridge needs painting and other repairs.


The allowance for the relief of our poor is more than double what it was a year ago, which is caused largely by the increase in the number receiving aid. If these conditions are to con-


8


Annual Report


tinue, and it seems reasonable to believe they will, it might be well to try and take up the matter of combining with some other towns to provide a home for our poor.


By referring to the Auditor's report and comparing the financial statement with that of last year we find that the assets of the town is $1,325.64 less this year, and our tax rate $2.00 per thousand higher.
