I constructed a section of Cedar Street under Chapter 90 this past year. This project was completed within the money allotted, with practically $10,000 out of the $12,000 appropriated going for labor to Milford citizens, and it was also a great help to the payroll for the per-
24
sonnel of this department. I am sure that this construc- tion will be a great benefit to the people of Milford and I hope that the voters will see fit to continue the Town's share of this construction in 1934.
A new cement sidewalk was constructed on East Main Street from Mt. Pleasant Street by the Sacred Heart Church and School property. Pond Street sidewalk was resurfaced with hot top dressing and several other walks were rebuilt or resurfaced with gravel or stone dust.
I would recommend that all permanent sidewalk con- struction in the future be constructed of cement.
Meade Street was rebuilt with trap rock and asphalt, full length of 1,250 feet and full width of 22 feet, using 600 tons of trap rock and 7,000 gallons of asphalt.
Several streets were scarified, rolled and resurfaced with light tar or oil, but due to the small appropriation for this purpose several streets were neglected. I would recommend that a sizable amount be appropriated in the future for this purpose.
I recommend that a special appropriation be made for snow removal. This expense of plowing and removing snow has increased considerably in the past few years. The Fire Department, Police Department, Doctors, and practically all travel, is by motor, and the roads must be kept open at all times for the protection of people and property, and I believe that a special appropriation should be made for this purpose and have money available for an emergency.
I also wish to inform the voters of the fact that the trucks and machinery of this department are in a poor condition. They are from five to nine years in service and the cost of upkeep is quite large. I would recom- mend that at least one piece of machinery be replaced each year.
Respectfully submitted,
EDWARD C. BEAULIC,
Highway Surveyor.

To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and Voters of Milford:
For the second year in succession Milford closes its fiscal year with a deficit. The deficit this year is $3,660.70 as compared to $40,403.19 at the close of 1932. The deficit this year is due in great part to the growing practice of some of the town departments to hold bills back until the end of the year before presenting them for payment.
I would respectfully direct the attention of the Select- men to the fact that all departments should be required to approve and present bills monthly.
Since the 28th of November thousands of dollars in bills have been approved, many of them bearing dates five or six months old. Under such circumstances it is very difficult to estimate the amount of money that will be required to discharge all obligations of the town at the end of the fiscal year, and the late presentation of bills makes it impossible to arrange to get money to meet them before the close of the year.
During the year the town has repaid to the State more than fifteen per cent of the loan it secured on its tax titles and the reduction should be greater in 1934, as many of the titles will be approaching the date upon which they must be redeemed, or foreclosure of the right of redemption be instituted by the Town.
Respectfully submitted,
B. J. CLANCY, Treasurer.

TOWN ACCOUNTANT'S REPORT
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and the Voters of Milford:
Herewith I submit my annual report of the financial transactions of the Town of Milford for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1933.
Included is a balance sheet, a detailed report of the re- ceipts from all sources of income, a recapitulation and estimate sheet showing the appropriation, expenditure, balance and the estimated cost for the year of 1934 of the various departments; a detailed summary of the net funded debt of the Town and a list of the salaries and wages paid to the Town employees.
From the unexpended balances of the appropriations we added to our surplus revenue account the sum of $38,- 067.48, making the total of this account $231,377.18.
There is a growing tendency among some of the de- partments to withhold their bills for long periods after receiving them, and I take this opportunity to ask their cooperation in curtailing this practice as it is detrimental to the best interest of the Town in many ways, especially since it is impossible to show the true condition of their appropriation at any given time.
May I thank all the departments for their cooperation and assistance during the past year.
Respectfully submitted,
MICHAEL J. HANNIGAN, Town Accountant.
