Annual Report


A modern truck equipped with a hoist to handle water pipe both in the trench and storage yard would save time and add to the safety of personnel.


County Street relocation and construction under a Chapter 90 schedule should be continued from the northerly end of the 1951 construction to Read Street, at least, with a progressive construction schedule set up to ultimately insure the rebuilding of this street to County Square by the aforesaid Chap- ter 90 State and County participation.


Brown Street should be completed to the Rhode Island line also with Chapter 90 funds. The work that will remain after the 1952 construction will be very small as far as the pavement is concerned, the only problem being the purchase or removal of one low cost house.


In general, a schedule for a more permanent type of pavement for secondary streets with penetration or sheet asphalt surfaces for primary streets must be started for replacement of many old locations carrying heavy traffic, particularly in the industrial areas.


South Main Street and Mill Street at G. A. R. square should be resur- faced in 1953. The present pavement was placed in 1920, and is now in such condition that maintenance and repair is not economical.


The present practice of complete excavation of unsuitable sub-base 4 material and the placing of a base of gravel will insure a minimum of sun» face maintenance in the future.


SANITARY SEWERS:


Extend a sewer main from the Ten Mile River Trunk Line at the N. Y. , N. H. , and H. R. R. arch to John William Street, thence to Thacher Street and County Square. This installation would serve the area bounded by Thirteenth, Robert and Thacher Streets and if home building continues it will be necessary in the near future.


SURFACE DRAINS®


A pipe line from the Ten Mile River as described above and in the same area would care for surface runoff as streets are hard surfaced. The line should be extended to a point near the Tiffany School on Thacher Street and on Cedar Street to Chestnut thence westerly on Chestnut to the rear of Tiffany School to intercept the surface water runoff and prevent erosion of the slopes in the school yard.


A drain line should be placed on Bayberry Hill Road from the intersec- tion of Raeburn Drive westerly, crossing South Main Street and private pro- perty to the Dodgeville Pond. This line laid with open joints and surrounded with clean gravel would not only care for surface runoff but would aid very materially in inducing sub-surface drainage thereby tending to reduce the possibility of wet cellars in that area.

Annual Report


On Pine Road from Washington Street to Robinson Avenue a drain- age system should be constructed to remove surface water thereby pre- venting gutter erosion which results in a shoulder maintenance problem.


The splendid cooperation of all City Department Heads plus that of Department employees has made it possible for this Department to look back on a very successful year and for much of our accomplishment I wish to thank His Honor, the Mayor, members of the Municipal Council, and the many citizens for the cooperation and helpful suggestions that made these results possible.

Annual Report


REPORT OF THE HOUSING AUTHORITY 1951


Mayor Cyril K. Brennan Members of the City Council Attleboro, Massachusetts


Gentlemen:


During the year 1951, the Attleboro Housing Authority held twenty regularly scheduled and special meetings. All members of the Authority were present at each of these meetings. 'Mr. Edmund F. Henry, State appointed member of the Authority, whose reappointment came up during the year, requested that owing to business reasons, he be not reappointed. Mrs. Erma P. O'Neil was subsequently appointed by the State to fill the vacancy. The Authority wishes to take this oc- casion to thank Mr. Henry for his very competent assistance, particu- larly in legal matters.


The Authority is now operating two housing Projects: CHAPTER 372-1 Project for Single Houses Under Lease-Sale Agreement to Veteran Occupants


The City of Attleboro, following request of the Authority, has extended the sewer lines of this Project in order that we might eliminate the use of septic tanks which were not operating satisfactorily, and to assist in the drainage of surface water which had plagued this Project since its inception. At this time the extent of improvement has not been determined but it is believed that the surface water in the basements of a substantial number of houses will be eliminated. All of the units have been continuously occupied by the original tenants except in two cases, one veteran returned to active military service, and one veteran moved from Attleboro and built his own home. We believe, and are assured by the State Housing Board that this Project has been operated in a very economical manner. Reference is made to the Annual Financial Report which has been previously submitted to the proper city authorities.


CHAPTER 200-1 Multiple Family Rental Project


During the year the efforts of the Authority have been concentrated on the completion of 93 units under this Project. Many unfortunate delays were experienced and as a result the completion date of the Project will be some fifteen or sixteen months beyond the contractual completion date. Applications from prospective tenants were taken during the summer months and the first three apartments were leased in November. Suf- ficient progress was made in the inside of the buildings so that occupancy was completed during December 1951 and January 1952. Many small de - tails remain to be cleaned up before this Project can be certified by the State Housing Board as finished.

Annual Report


On Armistice Day a dedication ceremony was held on the site of this Project. Many state officials including the Chairman of the State Housing Board and Senator, Francis J. O'Neil, Mayor Cyril K. Brennan, Members of the City Council and other city officials were in attendance. Some eight thousand persons went through three of the units which were opened for public inspection. The comments of the visitors and of the press were highly pleasing to the members of the Authority. We wish to express, at this time, our appreciation for the cooperation of the Mayor, and Council and various city officials for assisting us so much in our work in the construction of this Project.


RECOMMENDATIONS


# 1 Surface of the roads within the 372-1 Project have been disturbed materially by the installation of gas mains and sewer lines. It is recom- mended by the Authority that the City accept these streets so that proper attention may be given to their condition.


#2 Application from veterans for occupancy in both of these Projects have far exceeded the number of units available. In addition to that many applications have been made to the Authority from others than veterans. It is the belief of the Authority that a substantial shortage of housing still exists in Attleboro. It is, therefore, our recommendation that serious consideration be given at this time to two possible means of relieving this condition:


-


a. Following conference with the State Housing Board we are informed that an additional Project might be undertaken under Chapter 372 whereby additional single houses for lease-sale to veterans could be built on lots available and owned by the city within the design of the original plan of Hillcrest Oaks, (approximately 40 units. )


b. The Feberal Housing Authorities have set aside funds for the construction in Attleboro of 75 units to provide multiple family homes for occupancy by veterans and non-veterans. It is our belief that a definite need also exists in Attleboro for this type of housing for families now occupying substandard houses. Both of these Projects can be accomplished with very little, if any, expense to the City of Attleboro.

Dear Mr. Mayor Brennan:


The function of this office in selling City property acquired by the fore- closure of Tax Titles has been keeping pace with the desires of people buying land for building purposes.


I have been successful in making many sales, advantageously for the City, with the consent of the Honorable Members of the Municipal Council with the ap- proval of the Mayor's office.


Each year I sell many parcels of land which have been non-tax producing and which effectively places them back on the rolls of taxable property and in most instances new valuation inures to the benefit of the City by the buildings placed thereon.


I still have many parcels of desirable land for building purposes; many parcels are added each year by the City Treasurer. My office is open to the public at all times for inquiry regarding same.
