Report of the Civilian Defense
W. Emil Moore, Chairman of the Civilian Defense Committee, began his duties in 1941 and organized the various committee heads.
The Report Center which is located at the V. F. W. Hall has a complete set-up equipped with telephones and spotting map each department having its own specified phone and in case of a blackout carries out the orders from the center and at all times the civilian defense officials are on the alert.
Rodolph L. Roy, who succeeded Michael J. Hachey as Chief Air Raid Warden and Leo Burns, Blackout Officer and Michael Apicella, Assistant to the Air Raid Warden hold weekly meetings with the various divisions.
During the year the following classes have been held: First Aid, Advanced First Aid, Motor Corps, Nutrition, Gas Decontamination, Canteen (First Aid is necessary with this class), Home Nursing, Drill work at the Armory (taken by the Canteen workers and Aux. Police), Drill work by Aux. Firemen.
A splendid Medical Unit has been outfitted and has the High School as the center in case of emergency.
An itemized report of the expenditures appears in the Selectmen's accounts and I feel sure that you will agree with me that the report is satisfactory.
I am pleased to inform the townspeople that we have been commended by the State for the excellent set-up at the Report Center.
At this time I would like to thank the Selectmen and all those who have in any way given their services to help in the progress of Civilian Defense activities.
W. EMIL MOORE, Chairman.

Report of the Highway Surveyor
Herewith I submit my report as Highway Surveyor for the year 1942.
Although the cost of all bituminous materials that are essential to the proper maintenance of our highways have increased considerably, and can be secured only by approval of the State Department of Public Works, and a certificate from the Public Roads Administration, we were very fortunate in securing a sufficient amount to make very necessary repairs to Congress, and many other streets.
With new construction limited for the duration to military requirements, the proper maintenance of our existing roads is more important than ever. Our streets should be kept in the best possible condition to assure safe travel for the armed forces, industrial workers, and transportation of fuel and essential food supplies.
The importance of salvage operation has placed an- other burden on the Highway Department, one that will continue as long as the war lasts. Hardly a day passes that we are not called upon to collect some type of scrap.
The labor situation for emergency work has become a problem, but during the December snow and ice storms, the High School boys responded splendidly, and worked conscientiously.
We will strive to continue vital services in the face of steady mounting difficulties, to the best of our ability.
I wish to thank the Honorable Board of Selectmen, Finance Commission, Town Accountant, and all other Town Departments, as well as the Townspeople for their co-operation and good will during the past year.
Respectfully submitted,
J. FRANK CAHILL,
Highway Surveyor.

Report of Town's W.P.A. Agent
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and Citizens:
Below is the annual report of the accomplishments of the Works Projects Administration in Milford in 1942.
The Federal Government gave $39,529.48 in wages here, and food, clothing, etc. through the local commis- sary on Central Street. The commissary report will be found in the report of the Welfare Department.
In nine years, the Federal Government has given to Milford in cash alone $155,023.94. The payments were as follows :
C.W.A., 1933-34 $ 165,540.08
E.R.A., 1934-35 201,760.23
W.P.A., 1935-42 Inclusive 1,182,928.63
Nine-year total, wages only $1,550,237.94
With war work booming W.P.A. ranks have been gradually reduced during the past year. Naturally, with a limited number of workers, the amount of improve- ments we could make was drastically curtailed. Every effort has been made, and will continue to be made, to do the best we can with the help available.
Work done in 1942 included completion of the Free- dom Street sewer, continued Housekeeping Aid in needy homes, construction of surface water drainage system on John and Central Streets, and began the construction of sewer on upper Fountain and Congress Streets; started the registration of graves of Veterans of all U. S. wars in all local cemeteries, and constructed concrete sidewalks with curbing and resurfacing of gutters on Central, De- pot, Forest, and Union Streets.
