Selectmen's Report
Your Selectmen herewith submit the following re- port:
The Board organized on February 14, 1944, and elected Leon 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. Leslie Taylor as Sealer of Weights and Measures, and Mr. A. J. Polmatier as Inspector of Dairies.
Again this year we had no Chapter 90 Construction, and there will be none in 1945. However, we were able to hard-surface the last remaining section on the Whately end of our Mountain Street Road out of our Chapter 90 Maintenance. We used all of the excavation material from this road for fill on the section of the Adams Road which was relocated after approval by the County Com- missioners. This relocation of a part of the Adams Road has long been needed and we feel that it has been well appreciated by those who have to use it, as well as making it much easier to maintain.
After our special town meeting held on August 7, 1944, in which the Town appropriated monies for a new Fire Truck and the remodeling of our Fire Stations, our troubles really began, for in addition to trying to get
10
priorities for a pumper and truck, which has now arrived, we also experienced plenty of delay in procuring the equip- ment necessary to do the work, however, we have prac- tically all of it now, and what is not already here is on the way. Also, as everyone knows, the problem of getting the necessary labor for this work has been a big factor in the delay, as well as an expensive part of the project. When it is completed, we feel that for a town of our size we have very good equipment and that it will be available and ready to go at any time.
At the same special town meeting it was voted to buy the Haydenville Club building (so-called) for a Recreation Center. This also has been done and with the monies appropriated for this purpose we were able to not only purchase the building but also to nearly complete the re- novation of the heating plant and the electric wiring, and we feel that the Town should appropriate a sum of money this year to finish putting the inside of this building in good repair as well as paint the outside, which as every- one can see it really needs. We think that when this building is in proper repair it will serve its purpose as a Recreation Center in fine shape, and will be well patronized by the townspeople, as well as provide good and suitable rooms for the newly organized American Legion Post and Ladies Auxiliary. We are sure that at the present time these two organizations are not only enjoying the rooms, but are doing a great deal of work and spending some of their money to make the building a fine place in which to meet.
As everyone knows, our Rationing Board is still on the job. We feel rather proud of them, and not only for the work they do without remuneration, but because of the few complaints which we receive, they have our congratu- lations.
. . .
11
During the past year we were able to finance the operations of our Town's business without the necessity of borrowing money, and that has not happened for several years. Let us hope it can be continued.
You will find an article in the Town Warrant asking for permission to request the Director of Accounts in Bos- ton for an Audit of the Town's Books this year. This is in accordance with a suggestion made by the last State Auditors that we have an audit at least every two years, but after analyzing the expense of the last two audits, we are in doubt as to its feasability, as the last two-year audit cost $854.56, and the audit previous to that was for a four- year audit and cost only $1,054.19. It is a bit easier for the Town Officials to have the books audited at least every two years, and it should also be easier for the State Auditors, but the proportionate expense per year is quite a bit more on the two-year audit.
Again we express our appreciation for the co-opera- tion which all other Town Officials have extended to us dur- ing the past year.
