Gentlemen :- The selectmen of the town of Milford, in mak- ing the customary annual report of this board, respectfully and briefly submit a few facts explanatory of the work done in their various departments during the past year.
SUPERINTENDENT OF STREETS.
Maurice E. Nelligan, who has been in the employ of the town for several years as superintendent of streets, was re- engaged by the board to continue his services in this capacity. He has been faithful in the performance of his duties, and has worked in harmony with the board in all efforts made to im- prove streets and sidewalks, and make them as satisfactory as possible to the public, under various existing conditions.
EXTENT OF TERRITORY.
The extent of highways to be maintained is conservatively estimated at 70 miles; the extent of sidewalks at 80 miles.
STATE HIGHWAY.
Your board, in behalf of the town of Milford, has petitioned the Massachusetts highway commission to lay out, construct, and maintain a section of state road, beginning at the junction of West and Highland streets, near the residence of B. T.
29
Clancy, in Milford, and continuing from this point over the Upton road to the Hopedale town line.
A hearing was given on this matter at the office of the state commission in Boston, and the case presented as strongly as it was possible for your board to make it. All the mem- bers of the commission visited Milford soon after the hear- ing, were driven over the proposed state highway, and ap- peared to be favorably disposed towards the project.
We confidently believe that when the allotments are made for the ensuing year, by the state commission, that Milford will be favorably remembered.
WIRES AND POLES.
To lessen the dangers to life and property occasioned by the multiplicity of telephone, telegraph, fire alarm, and elec- tric wires on poles in Main street, an effort was made to have the interested companies construct underground conduits, in which their wires should be placed.
In its effort, your board in a large measure has been ap- parently successful.
The New England Telegraph and Telephone company, owning at least seven eighths of all these wires, has expressed its willingness to comply with the request of the board, has applied for the privilege, and been granted a permit, to place its wires underground during the year 1904.
The territory in which this work is to be done this season includes Lincoln square to Memorial hall and Main street, be- ginning at Water street and continuing to the Hopkinton rail- road crossing.
Telephone wires falling across electric wires into the street, making "live wires," is a constant menace to life.
This change, when effected, will be a distinct improvement to the appearance of the street, will lessen the fire hazard, and ensure greater safety for life at all times.
We trust that in the near future the other companies may be induced to remove their wires from the poles, and dispose of them in a similar manner.
30
THE STONE CRUSHER.
The stone crusher has been removed from the location near the quarries on East Main street where it remained unused by the town for the past ten years, to the gravel pit on Purchase street.
Such sections as were worn out were replaced by new parts at small expense, and the crusher made to do as good work as when entirely new.
Fifteen hundred cubic yards of stone have been crushed and used on the streets in various parts of the town during the past year.
A substantial frame building has been erected at the pit, in which the crusher and its appurtenances have been safely and securely housed, and protected.
While there will be a constant accumulation of stone as the gravel is removed, there is now at the pit, ready for crushing, sufficient stone to meet the requirements of the town for at least two years.
THE STATE ROAD ROLLER.
Your board made application for the use of one of the state road rollers early last summer, and secured a promise that one would be shipped to Milford in October. The roller was shipped promptly as agreed.
As it was received late in the season, however, it was not in use as long as the board desired. The state board, there- fore, has assented to the retention of the roller for use in the spring, and we recommend that it be put into service as early as possible.
Our improved facilities for supplying crushed stone will make the roller more advantageous and valuable to the town than ever before, and we anticipate excellent results and un- usual progress in road building in Milford during the ensuing year.
FENCES.
As no repairs have been made on the town fences for sev- eral years, we found a great number of them had become de- cayed, dilapidated, unsightly, and dangerous. Old fences
31
were taken down and new ones erected at the basin, enclosing the "round pond;" long sections were taken down and re- placed by new fence on Purchase street; several thousand feet of wooden fence enclosing the Purchase cemetery had become so completely decayed that it had fallen apart and left the place open for stray cattle.
In this last instance a suitable wire fence was substituted for the wooden one; it is neat and inexpensive, and serves its purpose satisfactorily.
New rail fences were erected on Depot street, and South Main street, near the Hopedale town line. A new fence was erected on East Main street opposite the car barn, and several small sections of fence were put up in various parts of the town.
BRIDGES.
The bridges that needed repairs have received attention.
The bridges on Howard street, Green street, Wood street, the street leading to the Purchase cemetery, and at Fiske mill, near the Upton line, have been completely rebuilt. Neces- sary repairs have been made on the Pond street bridge, and on several smaller bridges in various parts of the town.
DRAINS AND SEWERS.
The long stone-covered drain on East Main street, which is said to have been in use for 20 years, extending from Reade street to a point opposite the car barn, had become obstructed, and was thus rendered useless. Your board had it uncovered, cleaned out, properly re-covered, and two catch basins con- structed to work in connection with it.
At the terminus of this drain, in its former condition which was open at a point opposite the car barn, an alleged nuisance was abated by building a culvert and covered drain which carry the contents beyond the residences in the vicinity.
The Lincoln street sewer became obstructed on the land of Wm. Johnston, near the residence of D. J. Sprague, caus- ing an alleged nuisance and bringing strong remonstrance from the residents of the vicinity. While the condition here is not fully satisfactory, your board has made improvements
32
at moderate expense that at least temporarily satisfy the vicinity property owners.
A new drain was built across Oliver street to carry surface water. New drain pipes have been put in at the junction of South Main street and Fruit street, and small sections in various parts of the town. Nearly all the old drains of the town had become obstructed with the accumulation of solids from several years' use, and have been put into proper condi- tion during the past year.
SIDEWALKS.
During the past year 1200 feet of curbing and 1500 yards of cobblestone gutter have been laid. This is a larger amount than is represented in the work of any previous year. About 2000 feet of stone bunters and a substantial gravel walk have been laid on Purchase street.
CONCRETING.
Four thousand five hundred yards of concrete were laid during the past year.
STREET SPRINKLING.
During the summer months two teams have been employed to their full capacity in street watering. There is a demand for more sprinkling than two teams can do, but not sufficient demand at present to warrant the purchase of an additional team.
LEGAL CASES SETTLED.
M. A. & W. St. R. R. Co .- The suit entered by the board of selectmen of last year against the Milford, Attleboro & Woon- socket Street Railroad Co. has been settled by agreement of the street railroad company and the present board. This case relates to the payment of a bill for repairs on South Main street. The board of 1902 held that the construction of the street railroad left this street in a dangerous condition.
The company having been repeatedly requested to put the . street in a safe and satisfactory condition, and having neglect- ed to give the matter attention, the board voted to have the work done and the expense charged to the street railroad
33
company. On presentation of the bill payment was refused, and suit was consequently entered against the company.
The company subsequently made several offers in settle- ment to the present board, which were considered unsatis- factory, but finally the case was compromised by agreement of the railroad company to pay $1550 into the town treasury. The company promptly paid this sum to the town treasurer.
The board believes this to be an advantageous and equitable adjustment of the matter.
Dexter Cushman-The claim of Dexter Cushman for the payment of gravel to the amount of $800, alleged to have been taken in violation of the terms of a lease of his land, made some years ago by the town, has also been satisfactorily settled. This claim involved the interpretation of a clause in the lease that stipulated that the gravel should not be re- moved below the level of the adjacent land. The great varia- tion of the levels of the adjacent land was sufficient to provide an excellent basis for a long and costly legal contest as to the level to which the town was entitled to remove the gravel, in accordance with the terms of the lease.
In consideration of the purchase of the pit and additional gravel land adjoining, for the sum of $500, Mr. Cushman has given the town of Milford a deed without any restrictions as to the use of the land, and a receipt in full of all demands against the town.
The additional land was needed in any event to provide sufficient gravel for the highway department, and this settle- ment, which has had the approval of the town solicitor, the superintendent of streets and board of selectmen, is considered to be greatly in the interest of the town.
These cases have been settled under special authority given the board of selectmen by vote of the town.
PRESERVATION OF TOWN RECORDS.
The voluminous town records, which were removed to the new vaults in the town house after the building was re- modeled, after a few months became affected by dampness.
They were taken out, carefully aired, brushed, thoroughly dried, and replaced in the vaults systematically,
They are now in excellent condition.
34
To prevent further damage from dampness a coil of steam pipes has been put into the lower vault and a radiator into the upper vault, to be used occasionally, when thought neces- sary.
MILFORD HOSPITAL.
Your board deems it a duty, and expressive of the universal appreciation of the grand munificence of Mr. and Mrs. Eben S. Draper of Hopedale, to make record in this year's town re- port of the opening of Milford Hospital.
This magnificent institution, including the beautiful build- ing with its elegant equipment and valuable land, was present- * ed to the corporation, "Milford Hospital," at Charles River Driving Park, on "Field Day," held for the benefit of the hospi- tal, July 23, 1903.
Mr. Eben S. Draper, in behalf of himself and wife, in a modest and appropriate speech, presented the keys of the building, and the deed transferring the title to the property in the presence of a multitude of grateful people.
Acceptance was made for the corporation by Mr. E. L. Wires, president of the Milford Hospital, in an appropriate speech. G. B. Williams, Esq., vice-president of the Milford Hospital, responded for the early promotors of the hospital movement, and J. F. Hickey, chairman of the board of select- men, responded for the town of Milford.
Milford Hospital is now fulfilling its beneficent mission daily in the alleviation of human suffering. The amount of work it is doing demonstrates its necessity; the success of its treatment and operations proves its merit; the enthusiastic praise of its patients is its greatest glory.
To the donors let our gratitude be enduring; to the institu- tion let our support and encouragement be constant.
Respectfully yours,
JOSEPH F. HICKEY, GEORGE E. STANLEY, LUCIUS E. HEATH, Selectmen of Milford.
