REPORT OF THE BOARD OF SELECTMEN
To the citizens of the Town of Medfield, the Board of Selectmen respectfully submit a resume of the events of the past year.
Organization
The Selectmen organized March 4, 1940 with Frank G. Haley as Chairman, Charles W. Haigh as Clerk and Alfred Hewins.
The boundary lines of the Town were perambulated and marks renewed with the Selectmen of the five contiguous towns.
Highways
Under Chapter 90 appropriation High Street was re-surfaced and sections of Route 109 were widened to minimize cost of maintenance and provide greater safety.
Under Chapter 81 appropriation, roads were re-surfaced, scraped and drained. Whenever possible, pea stone and asphalt were substituted for the usual tar and sand surface treatment. Although more expensive, this surface provides a more durable and safer highway and in the long run is more economical. $2,000.00 of general highway money was allocated with the approval of the State Department of Public Works as a sponsor's contribution to a W.P.A. project for the purpose of relocating and reconstructing Pine Street.
A Brockway truck was purchased to replace the 1927 International for $2,795.00 by a transfer from the Machinery Account. The money in this fund is accumu- lated by charging rental prices for town equipment to the regular Highway De- partment appropriation and then transferring the amounts to the Machinery Account. By having this account there is no additional cost to the taxpayers for this type of highway equipment.
Sidewalks
The town owns 21,120 feet of asphalt, 3,850 feet of cement and 7,880 feet of gravel sidewalks. Owing to the amount of the appropriation little new con- struction could be attempted-the bulk of the money necessarily being allocated to maintenance. There were however, two new sidewalks built; one on Main Street from the Catholic Church to the corner of South Street of cement con- struction and one on Miller Street of asphalt construction.
Soldiers' Relief
Conditions beyond the control of your Board caused an increase in payments of over 50% in excess of the amount of the appropriation made at the annual meeting for this form of assistance.
We sincerely hope that the upswing in industry taking place at the present time will react in keeping down the expenditure of any large sum of money in this department.
May we state at this time that we are in a position to offer the services of these people in various lines of work. This work consists of laboring, farm work, book- keeping, etc., and you, as residents of this town can assist us in keeping down this
7
appropriation if you will contact us when you are looking for any help along these lines. In other words, any pay which these persons receive from these jobs is taken into consideration and relief is cut accordingly.
Town Hall
This Board made an examination of the Town Hall during the past year to determine the condition of the building as a whole. In view of the condition of the outside paint on the window frames and woodwork it was felt advisable to have a paint job done immediately. This has been done at a cost which was negligible as the labor was furnished by the janitor assisted by a person who was receiving assistance from the Soldier's Relief Fund and therefore the cost was in materials only.
Safety
Stronger lamps have been installed through the center of the town to furnish adequate visibility to eliminate traffic hazards. Every effort was made to have all danger spots sanded before people went to work to prevent accidents. A vigorous safety campaign was instituted in the past year to eliminate as much as possible all accidents in Medfield. Considerable increase was made in painting white lines through all main arteries. Stop signs have been erected at dangerous cross roads. No parking signs were placed in dangerous locations where parking had previously been allowed.
Town Agents (School)
The Selectmen acting as Town Agents settled the Town's claim against the various Fire Insurance Companies for the fire loss to the Ralph Wheelock School for $33,305.00 which the Board feels was an excellent adjustment.
The debris on the school-house lot was removed by a Wrecking Company at a contract price of $425.00. A similar price was submitted to fill the cellar hole to ground level but a careful check-up indicated that our own Highway Department would fulfill the contract at a saving of approximately 25% and the work was therefore done by this Department.
W.P.A. Projects
There has been a continuation of the various projects and a number of men are employed on these projects at the present time, such as the Reconstruction of Pine Street and the Gypsy Moth.
The Board welcomes constructive criticism at all times and has during the past year tried to maintain a policy of courtesy, efficiency and economy in all municipal services under its jurisdiction.
Respectfully submitted,
December 31, 1940.
