ANNUAL REPORT
CHAPTER 90 MAINTENANCE Contract No. 19272
The maintenance funds were divided between Main, River and Readsboro Road. Hot patch was applied on Mill Hill on several points along the River and Readsboro Road. Several sections of the Main Road were surface treated.
We have been advised that the same allotments have been set up for 1961; namely $1,000 each from State, County and Town.
SPECIAL CHAPTER 90
We were allotted $2500 as a Special Chapter 90 Maintenance Fund for the removal of snow and sanding operations by The De- partment of Public Works. Stone & Webster again furnished 712 tons each of salt and choloride for which we express our thanks.
With the completion of the Yankee Plant, the flow of traffic has been reduced to a minimum. Special allotments will no longer be forthcoming.
CHAPTER 90 CONSTRUCTION
Again as in 1959, no funds were allotted for construction, as the location of Kingsley Hill cutoff was in doubt as was the method of financing same.
The preliminary survey was completed in the late Fall and a grade of 12% or less was considered possible with plans calling for a starting point south of the Kingsley Hill entrance proceeding in a southeasterly direction to the extreme eastern end of the Gore Road, thence in a wide arc connecting with the Main Road at a point near Haley Brook. A permanent survey is now being made. Rough grading and timber clearance will start in the early Spring. We have a $10,000 contract for this early work carried over from 1959. There is available also the $10,000 carried over from 1960. We are also advised that we have available under an unbalanced formula contract in the amount of $14,000 divided as follows: Town-$2500; County-$2500; State- $9000-making a total of $34,000 available in 1961.
SNOW REMOVAL
It will be noted that we have a sizeable balance on this account due to the Special Chapter 90 allotment explained in this Report. We recommend the appropriation of $3,000 for snow removal in 1961.
BRIDGES AND RAILINGS
We ended the year with a balance in this account. Some planned projects were not completed due to the extra work entailed in the two Town garages in the late Fall. We recommend that the sum of $750 be made available for 1961.

ANNUAL REPORT
TOWN HALL
Only minor repairs were made this year. Some painting was done. The major expenses were fuel oil and janitor's salary. Permanent Christmas decorations were purchased which will be used annually. We recommend the same amount be appropriated in 1961 as was in 1960.
INSURANCE
Our request for funds to provide extra insurance was voted favorably at the Annual Town Meeting and have proved to be ade- quate.
HEALTH WORK
Our "Well Child Clinic" was held during the Summer vacation under the able direction of Dr. Robert S. Wicksman assisted by Mrs. Coombs, Mrs. Mankowski, Mrs. Comai, Mrs. Furlon and Mrs. Fran- ceschetti. Our children were found to be free from any serious illness.
Three successful polio clinics were held with most of the adults receiving at least two shots. Another clinic is planned in March- dates to be announced.
As mentioned in 1959 Report, sewage disposal along the Deer- field River will become mandatory in the near future. Our plans will be governed by regulations set up by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health.
INSECT CONTROL
A joint spraying program with our neighbor town, Florida, was carried out in early May. Aerial spraying over congested areas by Maynard's Air Borne Sprayers. Opinions are varied as to the results. Some people have advised us that they noticed fewer insects seen; others noted no noticeable help. However, samples taken from area streams after the spraying by Mr. Anderson of the Department of Insect. Pest Control showed fewer active larvae than in samples taken before spraying was done suggesting the possibility that fewer insects might carry over in the Spring of 1961. Another application in 1961 before foliage is too far advanced would perhaps give a better indi- cation of the effect of this type spraying. We recommend that another attempt be made along these lines either by aerial spray or other methods.
WELFARE ALL TYPES
We received no applications for welfare of any type in 1960. We had no carry-over cases so our entire appropriation remained untouched. We recommend the same general appropriation for 1961 as was made in 1960.

ANNUAL REPORT
EMERGENCY EQUIPMENT
On or about July 1, 1960, Mr. H. M. Johnson, Vice President of Yankee Atomic Electric Company, accompanied by Mr. John Leberveaux met with your Board of Selectmen at the Town office and presented a plan whereby "Yankee" would purchase a fire truck tailored to meet our needs and sell same to the Town of Monrce for a price consideration of $1.00. Reasons for the above action were two- fold: first, in appreciation of the friendly relations maintained by the Town toward "Yankee" during its construction days and secondly, to provide fire protection for buildings owned by "Yankee" cutside the main plant; namely, the observation building and three houses as well as all of Monrce.
Arrangements were made by them for this Board and your Fire Chief, Mr. Giulio Andognini, to visit the Maxim Motor Company plant in Middleboro, Massachusetts. Accompanied by Mr. Keenan and Mr. Bonzagni of "Yankee", a most interesting tour of the Maxim plant was made. It was then cur pleasure to sit in conference with the above men along with Mr. Maxim where it was decided that the fol- lowing specifications were essential to our particular needs; namely, a Ford F750 all wheel drive chassis on which was to be mounted a 750 GPM pumper and a 500 gallon booster tank and other numerous accessories.
Our Town Council advised that a Special Town Meeting would be required to purchase the above vehicle so on August 23rd the meet- ing was held. Funds were appropriated to purchase same. Also ad- ditional funds were appropriated to enlarge the town garage to pro- vide suitable quarters for the Fire Department. Several additions and specification changes advantageous to the town have been made on the truck. Progress has been steady and at this date we are advised we may expect delivery by mid February.
Plans are underway for a fire fighting course under the direction of Captain Ackerman of the Greenfield Fire Department assuring us of a trained staff of fire fighters to operate our newly acquired equip- ment. It is our sincere hope that ours will be a well trained and effic- ient fire fighting force. Again our sincere thanks to Yankee Atomic Electric-our new and welcome neighbor.
Funds were provided at a Special Town Meeting December 29th to purchase a secondhand ambulance from the Colrain Fire Fighters Association. It was explained that some repairs were necessary at the time of purchase. We wish to announce that the repairs have been made; we have secured required liability insurance; proper let- tering has been placed on the door and it is now ready for service, though operating plans are as yet incomplete as details such as fees, etc. must be worked out. Until further notice in case of emergency call any member of the Board of Selectmen.
9
ANNUAL REPORT
Plans for advance first aid classes are being made. As soon as proper training has been received, driver-aid man teams will be as- signed.
It is our belief that the addition of an ambulance and fire truck to our emergency equipment pool should foster a feeling of security and peace of mind for the residents of Monroe. Whether it be fire or illness, call at once whatever the hour, day or night-we are at your service.
THE GARAGES
After some delay in construction due to the accidental collapse of the back wall of the Monroe Bridge garage, it is now practically complete and ready for occupancy. The Monroe Hill garage alterations are complete except for heating equipment. Funds for same have been considered in the 1961 budget.
