OAKHAM CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH


The first church, or meeting house, in Oakham was built by the followers of the Presbyterian faith and was completed in 1763. It was a one story building with no heat and was sometimes referred to as the "coffin" because of the blackened condition of its weather- beaten, unpainted boards.


The Congregational Church was the next church to be built and was erected in 1814 on the rise of ground twenty eight feet east of its present location and faced towards the south.


In 1845, this church was moved to its present site, raised and enlarged, and a vestry, town hall and selectmen's room built under it.


A bell weighing 700 pounds was hung in the belfry in 1818 but in 1851 the village blacksmith, sounding the alarm for a fire, pounded the bell so vigorously with his hammer that it cracked and was replaced in 1869 by the present one which weighs 1,500 pounds.


The clock, presented to the town by Henry E. Dean was in- stalled in 1905 and is still in operation, the only change being that the spring type mechanisms have been replaced by electric motors.


The steeple of the church, erected in 1845, was damaged by high winds in 1934 and was blown down during the hurricane of September 1938. Erection of the present steeple was completed in 1941.


In 1954 voters of the town, after being authorized by the state legislature, voted to deed over to the Evangelical Congregational Church of Oakham all rights and interests which the town held in the church building and the parcel of land on which the church is located. The clock remained the property of the town.


During recent years the auditorium of the church has been remodeled and redecorated, a new heating system and organ in- stalled, and the kitchen and vestry renovated.


This year's cover sketch, from a drawing by William A. Sampson, shows the Congregational Church as it now stands.

Eight fewer licenses were issued this year than last. Dog licenses expire on March 31. New ones are available after March 20. Dogs must be licensed when they become three months old. On receipt of the fee and an addressed stamped envelope, licenses will be mailed. Information needed for writing a new license includes the name and ad- dress of the owner or keeper, and the name, breed, sex, age, and color of the dog. Checks should be made out to the Town of Oakham.


A person who becomes the owner of a dog already licensed for the year in another Massachusetts city or town should within 30 days secure a transfer license and local tag. The charge is 25 cents. There is no charge for the transfer of a license from one owner to another within the town.


10


The owner or keeper is responsible for seeing that his dog wears around its neck or body a collar or harness to which should be attached the tag given with the license. The tag number is a help to a person seeking to identify the owner of a stray dog. If a tag becomes lost or damaged a duplicate may be obtained for 10 cents.

28 more licenses were issued last year than in 1957. The largest increase was in the sale of hunting licenses of which 15 were sold to minors who met special requirements in order to qualify for them.


Prices for 1959 licenses are the same as yast year. However, the Division of Fisheries and Game has empha- sized in recent bulletins that an increase in the prices of licenses is necessary if present programs are to be continued and an adequate reserve fund maintained.


Except for the duplicate series, it is not necessary to apply in person for a license provided that the information needed for writing the license is sent. Licenses will be mailed upon request.


A supply of the 1959 edition of "Massachusetts Fish and Game Laws" was received in January for distribution. The pamphlet contains extracts of the laws likely to be of greatest interest to sportsmen. Listed on the back cover are the names, addresses and telephone numbers of state conservation officers.

The usual duties of town government were carried on throughout the year. Regular meetings were held on the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month and special meetings were held as required. The following is a sum- mary of more important affairs and accomplishments of the year.


Finances


A routine audit of all accounts of the town was carried out by the State Examiners during the month of April. The final report of this audit was received from the Director of Accounts in August and indicated a shortage of $187.30 in the accounts of the Tax Collector and of $6,659.76 in the accounts of the Treasurer.


The Treasurer and Tax Collector submitted his resigna- tion effective April 30th and a temporary treasurer and a temporary tax collector were appointed on May first. Since the town auditor submitted his resignation in order to take over the duties of tax collector a temporary auditor was also appointed.


Upon receipt of the final report of the Director of Ac- counts a claim was submitted to the surety company holding the bonds for the offices of treasurer and tax collector and payments covering the full amounts of the losses were re- ceived on September 25th.


Under the conditions it was considered advisable to adopt the state system of accounting at this time. Ac- cordingly, under the authority granted to the Board by vote of the town under Article 19 of the Annual Town Meeting of March 7, 1955 the Director of Accounts was petitioned to install the system and it was put into operation on May first.


Mr. Roger F. Langley, Town Accountant for the Town of Barre, was appointed Accounting Officer.


The Board approved a total of 27 selectmen's warrants authorizing the payment of $152,631.24 during the year.


These payments were broken down as follows:


Ordinary Operating Expenses $136,314.63


County Retirement and Federal Withholding Tax payments, dog tax, refunds etc. 3,916.61

General maintenance of the town's 43.89 miles of roads was continued throughout the year. The unfinished section of South Road was completed; a 1,400 foot section of Spencer Road was reconstructed and preliminary work on the construction of the remaining section of Spencer Road was started, all under the provisions of Chapter 90 Con- struction. Also about 600 feet of graveled roads were surface treated using Chapter 81 maintenance funds.


Present plans call for the completion of Spencer Road and possibly some work on the reconstruction of New Brain- tree Road under Chapter 90 Construction.


Under an agreement made in 1956 the New England Telephone and Telegraph Company treated all sections of town roads where utility lines are in existance with weed and brush eradicator.


The following is a summary of the mileages of the various types of the town's roads at the end of the year:

General


Work was continued on Wright Park ball field using funds appropriated by the town and the remainder of the money received from the Village Improvement Society in 1957. The drainage system was completed, a backstop was erected and the infield was loamed and seeded. The Board wishes to express its appreciation to the organiza- tions, contractors and individuals who assisted in the work.


Shortly after the first of the year the Board appointed Richard G. Riley representing the Planning Board, Roger H. Lonergan representing the Board of Selectmen and Charles R. Dean to represent the town at meetings of the Upper Quaboag River Watershed District. A survey of the extent of the damage done by the flood of August 1955 and of the damage that might be done by possible future floods was made by the Planning Board and a report was submitted to the District.


At the end of the year two sites for possible flood re- tention dams were in consideration, one on Maynard or Lincoln Brook just north of Lincoln Road and the other at the north end of Browning Pond and an estimate of the cost of land damages was being prepared.


In addition to the Annual Town Meeting the Board called special meetings on January 8, when it was voted to establish a Planning Board, and on July 3 and November 25 for routine transfers of funds.

REPORT OF THE PLANNING BOARD


The Planning Board takes pleasure in submitting its first report to the citizens of Oakham. The Board held its first meeting on March 24, 1958. Regular meetings of the Board were scheduled for the third Thursday of every month at 8:00 p.m. in Memorial Hall.


One of its first duties was assisting the local flood con- trol committee for the Upper Quaboag River Watershed Association. All property owners bordering the Five Mile River were interviewed by members of the Board.


Robert Wile was appointed to study the traffic prob- lem at the intersection of Rt. 122 and North Brookfield Road.


The Board worked for several months in the prepara- tion of Rules and Regulations for Subdivision Control.
