ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF THE SELECTMEN
To the Town of Plainville:
The year 1946, as far as the Town's affairs were concerned, was quiet and more or less uneventful. It was impossible, however, for any of us to go about our duties without being conscious of the worldwide struggle toward readjustment to a peace-time economy.
This process had varying effects and together with rising prices brought unrest and increasing labor troubles, evidence of which was brought to our own door-step when the Town's leading industrial plant was forced to close its doors for an indefinite period. Higher living costs had other disturbing repercussions inasmuch as the administration of public welfare funds became a more difficult problem within the limits stipu- lated at the last Town meeting. Some of the increases noted are bound to become permanent since a higher standard of living for all seems inevitable. We must, therefore, consider more adequate appropriations for this work in future years.
Other post-war developments included new home building projects which, while beneficial in the long run to Plainville, nevertheless resulted in the expenditure of additional Town funds for water mains and eventually will mean an increase for maintenance of newly accepted roadways.
The drainage program was completed as planned for the year, and although it is hoped that this work will continue in the future, considerable thought has been given to the ad- visability of discontinuing it temporarily at least during the present period of high labor costs.
The sidewalk project was also completed according to schedule and from the favorable reactions thus far received, it is apparent that this program also should be continued if at all possible.
The Board gratefully acknowledges the help and co- operation given by all Town Officers and various Departments during the year.
