Selectmen's Report
Your Selectmen herewith submit the following re- port :
The Board organized on February 13th, 1940, and elected L. B. Sanderson, Chairman, and Oakley Ames, Clerk. Meetings have been held every Monday evening, except on holidays, and then have been held the following evening. The following officials were re-appointed. Mr. L. H. Cranson as Superintendent of Roads, Bridges and Fences ; Mr. Albert Lawton as Inspector of Barns, Animals and Meats ; Mr. C. K. Hathaway as Fire Chief and Forest Warden; Mr. B. L. Dobbs as Moth Superintendent; Mr. Frederick LaValley as Sealer of Weights and Measures ; and Mr. A. J. Polmatier as Inspector of Dairies.
During the past year it was necessary to appoint some one as Supervisor of Old Age Assistance and Aid to De- pendent Children, who was not a member of the Welfare Board, also not an elected official, and we appointed Mr. Frederick Smith, who we feel has done very satisfactory work for us, as well as for the State and Federal Depart- ments.
This year, the same as last, we had no Chapter 90 Construction work, but we expect to have some in 1941, and recommend that the permanent hard surfaced road be continued on Mountain Street towards the Whately line.
Our Welfare and WPA expenditures the past year have not been so heavy, and we have at the present time two WPA projects which are approved, and on which no work could be started during the year, due to the Stream Clearance Project, which lasted from midsummer until after ground freezing came. This next year we hope to
8
complete these two projects, namely the sidewalks on South Street, Williamsburg and South Main Street, Hay- denville, as well as the bridge on Depot Road. We also have two uncompleted projects, namely, one on the water shed, and the one we are now working which is the im- provement of our secondary roads.
We recommend very strongly the appropriation of some money at the next annual town meeting for the spraying of shade trees in both of our villages.
We again wish to express our appreciation of the co- operation which we have received from the Finance Com- mittee and all other Town Officials during the past year.
LEON B. SANDERSON, OAKLEY AMES, SILAS SNOW,
Selectmen.
