ANNUAL REPORT


REPORT OF THE TOWN MANAGER


To the Honorable Board of Selectmen Middleborough, Massachusetts


Gentlemen:


The Town Manager herewith submits his annual report for the year ending December 31, 1961.


The major project undertaken by the Highway Department this year has been the surface drainage, of the very troublesome area be- tween Wood Street and Cherry Street on Wareham Street with an outlet constructed in Woodlawn Street. This is the first step in properly drain- ing and rebuilding Wareham Street and was accomplished with funds amounting to $28,000.00 set aside under the provisions of Chapter #90 and sufficient money remains to complete the next step which will be surface drainage from the top of Barden Hill to the Nemasket River on Wareham Street. The other part of our Chapter #90 Construction fund amounting to $32,000.00 was used for drainage and reconstruction of the remaining section of North Main Street with a drainage outlet down Jackson Street to the river. This portion was done under contract.


Chapter #90 Maintenance funds were used for the usual problems of maintenance including seal coating, brush cutting, shoulder cutting, guard post replacements and culvert renewals.


The remaining amount of money in the Chapter 718 account was depleted by its use for the resurfacing of Coombs Street, North Street and Rice Street, School Street, Bloomfield Avenue, and Corinne Park- way. These Streets had been disturbed in recent years for the installa- tion of sewer lines and the surfacing was a much needed project. Any such future projects, however, will have to be done by local appropri- ation as State money under this Chapter of the General Laws is exhausted.


It was possible to seal coat a greater length of town roads due to a reduction in road oil price in 1961. We have been assured however, that the 1962 price will be substantially higher. A 3 mile stretch of France Street was penetrated and sealed and all gravel roads received fresh coatings of gravel.


Heavy snow storms were a problem in January and February but we were fortunate in not having the expense of any heavy windstorms this year.


The maintenance of Highway equipment has been handled very efficiently by our mechanic Arthur LeWillie, but the age of many of our vehicles has increased the cost of this maintenance. It is my recommend- ation that our equipment replacement program be stepped up some- what to assure more efficient operation of our Department by lessening breakdown time.


10


ANNUAL REPORT


The new garage at the Town property on Wareham Street has been completed and is a welcome addition for the housing of equipment and vehicles.


The Town of Middleborough and the County of Plymouth are still holding money in readiness for the construction of a new dam and road- way over the Nemasket River at Wareham Street. It appears that the pressures brought to bear by the Board of Selectmen have resulted in progress finally being made as evidenced by the taking of borings at the site and assurances that surveys are nearly complete. This is of course for the purpose of better controlling the level of the river and protect- ion of our Electric Light Plant.


The Water Department activities were again confined mostly to routine work other than the great amount of time involved in replacing services and repairing or relocating pipes disturbed by the drainage and road construction which has been under way during most of the year. The severe weather during the first part of 1961 caused much trouble with water mains and services in this section of the country but thanks to the efficient manner in which our men protected mains, hy- drants, shallow lines, etc. our system was almost entirely free of freez- ing. Some main gates were installed but the program had to be curtailed along this line due to the construction activities. The Water Department has been helpful and co-operative in the use of their equipment for the benefit of the other Town Departments. The concrete water tank has withstood the elements another year and is still serviceable and will be replaced only when it fails completely.


Explorations for new water sources have been continued this year without successful results. Quantity of water has been found in some areas but the quality has not been such that it could be used even with filtration. None but minor problems have been encountered in our exist- ing pumping stations and the partial automation of these stations has been helpful.


The West Side sewer extension which was provided for at the 1961 Town Meeting has been engineered but construction has been de- layed because of the necessity of obtaining State and Federal approval of the details of the project in order for us to take advantage of the Federal money available. According to the Whitman Howard Engineers of Boston approval should be received soon after the holidays and con- struction could start as early as March 1, 1962.


The Town Hall received much needed repairs to the roof which was in a dangerous condition as the result of heavy winds of the past several years. Some renovations were accomplished on the inside and the entire exterior was painted. The pistol range which has occupied a large por- tion of the basement has been removed and plans are being considered for the possible connstruction of a fallout shelter.


All regular Town employees were extended the fringe benefits of partial payment of their health insurance and a $2000.00 life insurance policy, and most of them accepted the offer.

The foregoing figures show a normal, steady and well balanced growth between residential and business development. It is obvious that our community has not yet felt the so called population explosion which is prevalent throughout the populated areas of the country. On the other hand, recent presentation of plans and layouts of vacant property; in-

ANNUAL REPORT


quiries into building codes and subdivision controls which we do not have; and the Zoning by-Law which is our only protection against un- scrupulous speculators and builders of substandard developments, in- dicate that we are about to be considered as a likely community for housing development in connection with the new shopping center pre -- sently under construction in a nearby town.


It is therefore my recommendation that the Planning Board pro- ceed with the formulation of building codes and subdivision controls for consideration at the next town meeting.


I would like to express my appreciation to the Department Heads and employees for their cooperation with this office during 1961. The administration of the affairs of this office has been accomplished, and efficiently so, through the loyal and untiring efforts of my secretary and the assistance of the Board of Selectmen and to each of them I ex- tend my sincere thanks.


Respectfully submitted,


EDWIN O. WILSON Town Manager
