Selectmen's Report


The Selectmen herewith submit their Annual Report for the year ending December 31, 1949. Fifty regular meetings and four special meetings were held during the year.


The organization of the Board was as follows: G. Vernon Warner, Chairman; Lewis H. Black, Clerk; and Victor E. Symons as chairman of Board of Welfare. G. Vernon Warner has served as Veterans Benefits Agent and Service Officer.


The money appropriated for town hall was spent on the following items: new lights and guards in the main hall, new state-required Emergency Exit Lights, new coal burner with fan and a complete check of electrical wiring system, new lights on stage, repair of plumbing repair of roof, redecorating of the town office room all of which have improved the interior of our town hall. The building needs work done on the foundation, painting in- side and out and more roof repair.


Monies appropriated for Bridges were spent in re- building both schoolhouse bridge in Searsville and the one on Old Goshen Road, replanking Hemenway bridge on Ashfield Road, and repairs to Bullard & Potash Bridges, which leaves our bridges in a fairly healthy condition, with the exception of the Guzik Bridge on Geer Hill Road which should be repaired in 1950.


Monies appropriated for Old Village Hill cemetery covered the usual summer care as well as cutting the brush back to all borders and burning it and the resetting


12


of many stones. Special thanks are due Mr. and Mrs. Carl Hemenway who spent much time in historical study and labor in replacing many old stones which had been moved from their proper places. These stones included those of many of our earliest settlers.


The Chapter 90 monies were again spent on the North Farms Road where the County Commissioners made a taking of land for the purpose of relocating the road, and thus the last section of this road has been improved and should be surfaced and finished in 1950. Negotiations for the purchase of this land have been held up by an error in the state survey.


The Chapter 81 monies allotted to construction were spent on Nash Street and plans are made for the con- tinuance on that road in 1950.


An increase of $25.00 per mile in state aid for Chapter 81 roads was received in 1949 and an additional $25.00 or a total of $275.00 per mile is anticipated for 1950. Wil- liamsburg town roads total approximately 42 miles.


Snow removal money from the state to the extent of one half the cost, aided greatly in easing the burden of snow removal on Route 143 and that aid will be con- tinued again in 1950.


A new motor has been purchased and installed in the 4x4 Chevrolet truck making the road equipment in good condition with the exception of the light Chevrolet truck which should be replaced. We also recommend the pur- chase of a tractor loader which would have a variety of uses and would eliminate the need for hiring a shovel in most cases, except for heavy excavating, and would bring our equipment more in line with the recommenda- tions of the state engineer.


13


The major over-draft on the 1949 budget occured in the Winter Highway Account and was caused by the heavy expense incurred by flood conditions in January 1949, which was only partly covered by the special state grant of $1,000.00 for emergency flood relief; and by the several early storms of December 1949.


The Methodist Church property which was not cov- ered by an appropriation in 1949 is in a deplorable state of repair; such as broken windows, leaking roof and sag- ging tower. It is imperative either to appropriate main- tenance money or to dispose of the building.


Early in the year several changes were made and lights added on Main Street in Williamsburg to improve the lighting conditions there and late in the fall, several lights were moved and the strength of the lights in- creased to improve the unsatisfactory conditions on Main Street in Haydenville.


The gift of two attractive cement benches from mem- bers of the Williamsburg Village Planning Committee, one placed on the Meekins Library lawn and one on the Helen E. James School lawn, were accepted on behalf of the town.


We wish to acknowledge the splendid support and co- operation of other town officials and of the townspeople in 1949.


Respectfully submitted. G. VERNON WARNER, VICTOR E. SYMONS, LEWIS H. BLACK,


Selectmen.

Report of Finance Committee


On the pages immediately following this report are recorded the budget requests of the various departments of town government and administration. It is to be noted that this section is called "Recommendations". These recommendations in the fourth or right hand column em- body one of the duties of the Finance Committee. On the whole, after due examination, we have agreed or come to agreement, with various Town Officers upon their re- quests. In a few cases our recommendations are different from amounts requested. We reiterate our annual mes- sage to the citizens that they share in careful study of Town financial affairs, and support the agreements made by the Finance Committee and Town Officials, and uphold the Committee's point of view where our conclusions com- mend more careful spending.


It is the other essential responsibility of the Finance Committee to advise the Town upon a course of action concerning articles in the Warrant that involve expend- itures, or financial affairs, of the Town.


We, therefore recommend the passage of Article 17 (to transfer and appropriate $500.00 from water surplus to pay the note on the South Street extension) ;


of Article 19 (to raise and appropriate $163.00 to install lights on Mountain Street) ;


of Article 22 (to raise and appropriate $2,700.00 to pur- chase a new truck) ;


of Article 23 (to raise and appropriate $5,500.00 for the purchase of a new truck with loader) ;


15


of Article 25 (to raise and appropriate $1,500 for explora- tory test work to ascertain if an underground water sup- ply can be found) ;


of Article 26 (to appropriate $15,000 for the installation of a well and pumping station if a satisfactory under- ground water supply is found).


We recommend the denial of the request in Article 16 (for the sum of $1,000 for architects fees for plans for a gym- nasium) ;


of Article 24 (for extension of water pipe line on Kingsley Ave. at a cost of $800) ;


of Article 29 (for the raising and appropriation of the sum of $4,500 for a permanent police force).


In regard to other articles involving financial affairs of the Town the Committee approved Article 13 because it gave more time for study of the preceding year's expen- ditures. It disapproved Article 18 if the sale of the pro- perty involved the sale of the land. The Finance Com- mittee took no action on Article 27 and 28 believing that, (1) the power to set rates on water use was vested in the Water Board and that, (2) the restriction of occasions at which requests for water extensions might be sought was a matter of by-laws, and might even be illegal. We commend the Water Committee report.


The Committee again recommends that the presen- tation of statistics on financial items in the Town Report be thoroughly revised so that it can be more readily understood. It is further recommended that the report include a brief summary analysis showing the percentages of increases or decreases in the major sources of income


16


and classes of expenditures. In addition, it is recom- mended that re-funds, reimbursements and payments made by Federal, State, County and Town Governments be indicated in appropriate relation to budget items; so that comparative net costs may be understood.


The Finance Committee appreciates the cooperation of the various Town Officers who presented their budge- tary requests for review. It is urged that those who present Articles requiring financial consideration, also, appear personally before the Finance Committee to pre- sent reasons.
