Selectmen's Report
The Selectmen respectfully submit the following re- port for the year 1921 :
ORGANIZATION : The Board organized with William B. Kerigan, Chairman, and Frank G. Rogers, Clerk.
APPOINTMENTS : Thomas W. Kenefick was ap- pointed Town Counsel; Harriette Paine, Bookkeeper; Louis E. Chandler, Burial Agent ; David L. Bodfish, Super- intendent of Graves; James Summers, Chief Engineer ; Fred H. Smith and Michael H. Davitt, Inspectors of Ani- mals; Louis Leveillee, Sealer of Weights and Measures ; and Timothy J. Crimmins, Chief of Police.
The Selectmen, under authority of the vote passed at the annual meeting, made a contract with the Central Massachusetts Electric Company for lighting the streets. The rates for street lighting were raised 15% at the be- ginning of the year, making the cost to the town $21.85 per light, a total of $9373.65, which was the amount of the contract.
There was only one applicant for a license to collect junk during the year. The privilege was granted to that applicant for $35.00. Under the circumstances he en- joyed the exclusive privilege of gathering junk in the town for the year for $35.00.
During the year the cases of Thomas D. Sullivan and Mary A. Sullivan of Belchertown against the town for damages sustained by reason of an alleged defect in the lower river bridge in Bondsville came on for trial. After looking the situation over carefully, ascertaining the ex- tent of the injuries sustained, and the character of the
23
,
evidence that was available to sustain the defense of the town, it was deemed wise to adjust both cases and this was done, $600.00 being paid to cover property damage and personal injury in the two cases, together with the costs. The case of Anna M. Quirk, which was pending at the time of the last report of this board, was also settled on the eve of trial. The element of personal damage was eliminated and the town paid $186.75 for damage to an automobile, with $7.30 for costs of suit. This case arose over an alleged defect in the Ware Road opposite what has been known as the Carmody place, at a point where the Road Commissioners have recently put in an improved culvert. Taking into account the fact of repair at the place of injury, the board deemed it wiser to adjust the suit for a moderate amount rather than undertake the expense of a trial and face the danger of a substantial award. The board has also settled the claim of Thomas C'Connor for damage to his horse at the canal bridge in Bondsville. The horse's leg went through a rotten plank and as a result the horse was disabled for use for quite a period of time. Fifty dollars ($50.00) was paid for a full release. The board has also adjusted the case of a Polish woman named Purda, whose foot went through a sewer grating in Thorndike in the fall of 1920, for $70.00. The money has not been paid because proper releases have not been submitted. While there are no damage suits pending against the town at the present time, the town is involved in litigation with James H. Murphy and others growing out of the construction of the new grammar school at Three Rivers. Three suits are now pending, one more will surely be brought and others are likely to follow.
In the fall, when it became necessary to hold several special town meetings in connection with school affairs, the board thought it wise to see what could be done in the way of enlarging the capacity of the town house at Four Corners. Mr. John F. Casey of Worcester, Building Inspector, representing the Department of Public Safety,
24
came to Palmer and looked over the town house very care- fully and advised the board that upon the making of cer- tain changes his department would certify the hall as safe for an audience of 900 people. Following Mr. Casey's directions the floor supports were strengthened, all par- titions within the hall were removed, and a new exit was provided, the total cost of the changes being $597.77. The building was inspected after the changes were made and certificate of safety for an audience of 900 people was issued. In view of the possible need of larger accommoda- tions at almost any time, the board would suggest the ad- visability of considering an enlargement of the present town house at Four Corners by an extension in the rear, unless the town concludes to adopt the plan of representa- tive town meetings or provide a new and larger town hall.
The repairs at the Library Building and Memorial Hall, authorized by vote passed at the last annual meet- ing, have not yet been entirely completed, although the work has been substantially finished. The bills have not been presented for payment and we are unable to report the total expense, which, however, will fall well within the appropriation.
It has been found that the appropriation for law and claims has been inadequate to meet the demand during the last year and it has been deemed wise to recommend an increase of this appropriation. It is believed also that it would be wise to increase the amount appropriated for a reserve fund in order to meet the demands and purposes to which this fund may be applied. It has been usual to maintain a reserve fund of $3000.00, but in the judgement of the board it would be well if this fund were increased to $5000.00.
