The following appointments were made: Ernest E. Hobson, Town Counsel; Harriette Paine, Bookkeeper; Ralph E. Canning, Burial Agent ; David L. Bodfish, Supt. of Graves; Edwin J. Duncan, Town Engineer; Joseph Marhelewicz, Animal Inspector ; Thomas O'Connor, Supt. of Streets, and Robert L. McDonald, Clerk of Highway Matters.
The Board has attended to the several matters of Highway Construction and repairs specifically voted at the last annual town meeting, and respectfully calls to your attention the work accomplished.
A total of 7.2 miles of streets and highways were oiled using 49,926 gallons of road oil. The new work is as follows :
Orchard Street; Vaile Street; Ford Street; Quaboag Street; South High Street, Bondsville, new shoulders; Griffin Street; River Road, Bondsville; Air-Port Road; Gay Street; Harvey Avenue; Center Street, Lake Junc- tion; Town Farm Road; Widow-Smith Road; McNitt Road; West Brimfield Bridge Approach; Ware-West Warren Road; and Rathbone Street.
The Board also resurfaced 2.1 miles of streets and highways using 7,741 gallons of oil on the following streets :
55
Palmer-Three Rivers Road; High Street, Bondsville; Pleasant Street, Thorndike; Town Farm Road; Lake Thompson.
Oiling under Chapter 90 Maintenance we used 15,981 gallons of oil.
There are a large number of streets and roads that still need oiling for preservation and for new construc- tion and we would recommend the same amount as ap- propriated last year, $5,000.00, be appropriated this year.
Work on Chapter 90 Palmer-Bondsville Road was completed by the Highway Department under the super- vision of the State with an unexpended balance of $1,056.58. Burleigh Bridge was also repaired by the Highway Department under state supervision and the total expense was paid by the Department of Public Works.
The Board has arranged with the Department of Public Works and Commissioners of Hampden County for assistance in the construction of the following roads un- der Chapter 90:
The Palmer-Bondsville Road estimated cost $24,000; the Commonwealth has agreed to contribute $12,000.00, county $6,000.00 and the town $6,000.00.
Also the Thorndike-Three Rivers road under Chap- ter 90 the estimated cost of $10,000; the Commonwealth's share $5,000.00, County's $2,500.00 and the Town's $2,500.00.
The Board has arranged with the Department of Public Works and the Commissioners of Hampden County for assistance for necessary repairs and mainte- nance of the so-called Chapter 90 roads already construct- ed estimated cost $6,000.00 to be shared three ways, $2,000.00 State, $2,000.00 County, $2,000.00 Town.
56
Under W. P. A. a large number of needed new work and improvements have been accomplished. We believe that these improvements are valuable and permanent.
The Board appreciates the cooperation and assistance given it by all officials of the Town and others dur- ing 1940.
Respectfully submitted,
