Unemployment


This question in the past year has been uppermost in the minds of all of us from the President down to the humblest citizen. Business depression continued throughout the year, getting more acute as time passed, with the resultant widespread unemployment and hard times accentuated to such a degree that by August last our Welfare Department and Soldiers' Relief began to feel heavily the demands of the unemployed made upon these departments. It was evi- dent that something had to be done to at least in part relieve the situation.


An "Emergency Committee on Unemployment," com- prising some sixty prominent men and women of Milford was named by your Board, and at a meeting of this com- mittee held in November it was decided to raise some money and proceed with some useful work so as to allevi- ate the distress prevalent about town.


At a special town meeting held on November 24th the sum of $10,800 was appropriated partly from Overlay Reserve and partly from the Excess and Deficiency Fund, and the Selectmen were given full power to go ahead with improvements in different parts of the town so that some employment might be given to residents of Milford.


A census of the unemployed was taken which showed a list of upwards of 700 names. Some 500 men, heads of families, and others whose needs we thought most acute


49


by the Selectmen, were put to work, and each of these men were engaged in gainful work for a period of from two days to upwards of 20 days. The sum of $1,000 out of this fund was allotted to the Sewer Department, with which that department was able to complete two sections of sewer in Parkhurst Street, a street that sadly needed sewers.


Other work done was as follows: Gravel surface on Prairie Street and Sulmone Street, excavating to grade and widening of Godfrey Brook according to survey already made from the G. & U. R. R. Bridge off South Main Street to Vine Street. Cleaning out brook from Charles River across Beach Street, Mt. Pleasant Street, Parkhurst Street, Plain Street to E. Main Street near the car barn. In part of this brook near the Charles River a pipe was laid and part of it was covered over by building a concrete culvert. A brook coming from Locke's lumber yard which interfered greatly with the extension of the town dump off Central Street was piped and covered over.


The Highway Department can now extend the dump at that point without further impediment.


A brook crossing Dilla Street which was a continuous source of trouble to the Highway Department was cleaned out for about a thousand feet. Likewise a brook extending from near the junction of East Main Street and Medway Street to the B. & A. R. R. tracks off Medway Street cross- ing was dug and cleaned out. A brook running by the O'Brien property on West Street, and about which the Selectmen had been repeatedly importuned to do some- thing, was dug out, some sidewalls rebuilt and covered over by a concrete slab. The abutter agreed to pay for the cost of materials, and the town furnished the labor.


Also, an open brook running from Highland Street in back of the Gilmore property was cleaned out and stoned up on the sides for a distance of about 200 feet.


In all these brooks water from the streets is dumped in by the various drainage systems of the Highway Depart-


50


ment and consequently the town is responsible for the upkeep of all these brooks.


A number of men were allotted to Mr. Beaulac, with which he did necessary work on various outlying streets. Also, a few men were given to the tree warden, with which he did a lot of useful work.


We also had wood chopped from a wood lot that was bought by the town for the non-payment of taxes in the Deerbrook section, and said wood was delivered by the town trucks in accordance with orders from the Welfare Department to the needy families of Milford.


We are indebted to Mr. J. C. Ripley, who offered to supervise all of the drainage work and the chopping of wood without expense to the town, and who gave his time continuously and unsparingly.


The balance of this appropriation, amounting to about $400, we turned over to Mr. Beaulac for the removal of snow from the streets during the recent snow storm.


Sesqui-Centennial Celebration


This is the most pleasant part of our report. The splendid co-operation given by the entire community, the willing- ness of citizens in every walk of life, organizations of all kinds, all departments of the town, especially the School Department, its teachers and its pupils, to help make the celebration the success that it was must remain in the heart of Milford for a long time, one of its fondest recol- lections. The unity of spirit displayed by everyone con- cerned during the mapping out and preparation for the event, if followed and continued in any other future under- taking, presages well for Milford.


The weather was with us, the spirit both festal and his- torical was with us, and of the result obtained we should all be proud.

REPORT OF THE HIGHWAY SURVEYOR.


To the Voters of the Town of Milford :


I'herewith submit my report as Highway Surveyor of the Town of Milford for 1930.


NEW MACADAM STREETS.


Beach Street was rebuilt from curb to curb from Mt. Pleas- ant to Central. Central street was rebuilt from curb to curb from the bridge at Archer Rubber Factory to Alden Street. Both of these streets received from three to six inches of trap rock penetrated and sealed with heavy asphalt. The section of Central, known as Bear Hill, was widened, requiring a heavy stone and gravel subgrade, and owing to the steep ele- vation at this section, it required a very heavy application of penetration asphalt.


NEW GRAVEL STREETS TREATED TO ASPHALT.


Beaver Street was widened and rebuilt from the Hollis- ton to the Medway roads, removing 300 cu. yds. of stone which had to be drilled and blasted, 1706 cu. yds. of gravel was placed, graded, rolled, and treated with two applications of tarvia.


The entire length of East Street was widened and rebuilt using 1646 cu. yds. of gravel, which was graded, rolled, and treated to tarvia.


Hayward Street Extension was widened and resurfaced with gravel, graded, rolled, and treated with tarvia.


Richmond Avenue was widened and filled with stone and gravel and treated with oil and tarvia.

REPAIRS TO GRAVEL ROADS.


The following roads were widened, stones removed, scraped and rolled, using 15,000 cu. yds. of gravel and trap rock screenings:


Howard, East Walnut, Mt. Pleasant, Central upper sec- tion, Wood, Woodlawn Avenue, Highland, West Fountain, Camp, Purchase near line, Haven, Silver Hill, North Vine, upper Congress, White, Wood, John, Asylum, New Asylum, section of Birch, Maple, Beaver, and Courtland Streets.


SIDEWALKS.


The following sidewalks were rebuilt or resurfaced with a stone base and a hot top surface:


Central from Depot to Rubber Factory, using 350 ft. of new stone curb, Beach Street, east side from Central to East and west side from Central to Mt. Pleasant, Grant Street, Spring Street, both sides, Cedar 1200 ft. on north side from East Main to Raveni, South Main was resurfaced on the east side. Several other walks were rebuilt or resurfaced with trap rock and trap rock screenings.


GENERAL MAINTENANCE.


Several wooden bridges were repaired, new stringers in- stalled and re-covered, guard rails repaired and rebuilt, brooks and culverts cleaned and coverings replaced, gutters and ba- sins cleaned, new basins and grates installed, curbing re- moved from driveways, new drain pipe installed, and all drains flushed.

TOWN ACCOUNTANT'S REPORT.


TO THE HONORABLE BOARD OF SELECTMEN AND THE VOTERS OF MILFORD :


I herewith present my annual report for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1930, showing in detail the receipts and expenditures from each appropriation, and receipts from each source of income, also a table showing the Funded Debt of the town. During the past year there has been no appropriations overdrawn but I regret to report there have been a few unpaid bills for which apropria- tions must be asked for and I warn all departments that this practice must be guarded against.


At the Town Meeting in March it was voted to appro- priate the sum of $30,000.00 from the Excess and Defi- ciency Fund to aid in the reduction of the 1930 tax rate, this money was not used by the Assessors because of cor- respondence they received from Henry F. Long, Commis- sioner of Corporations and Taxation, forbidding them to use this money because there was not sufficient money in the Excess and Deficiency Fund to warrant the transfer of this amount at that time.


During the Audit by the State Accountants, they rec- ommended the installation of a system whereby the ac- counts receivable might be easily ascertained at a glance and which would show the items and description of the service rendered. This recommendation has been carried out and the accounts receivable are in a better and more understandable condition.


I recommend that the surplus War Bonus account of $3,293.99 and the $500.00 account for the sale of the Pearl Street property be used during the coming year. This money can be used in any project for which the town can borrow.


I wish to thank all departments for the splendid co- operation that they have given me during the past year.


Respectfully submitted,


MICHAEL J. HANNIGAN,


Town Accountant.
