Selectmen's Report


Your Selectmen herewith submit the following re- port :


The Board organized on February 8th, 1943, 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.


We had no Chapter 90 Construction work this year, and will not have any in 1944, although we apparently will have our Chapter 90 Maintenance, so that that part of our roads can be kept in good condition.


We were able to procure sufficient road material to complete the hard surface on South Street this past year, and hope to be able to do some of this same kind of work this year.


The entire WPA program has been suspended and the account closed.


We hope that everyone appreciates the work which our Rationing Board is doing, and that it is a function which has to be taken care of. We feel that our present Board is doing a fine job.


9


During the past year we had an audit by the Depart- ment of Corporations and Taxation and feel that every branch of your Town Government is taking good interest and care of the Department which it serves. The Audi- tors seem to think that an audit every year is advisable, but we feel that for the present at least, one every two years is sufficient. A copy of this year's audit is printed in the back of your Town Report.


We take this opportunity to express our appreciation of the co-operation which we have had from all Town Of- ficials during the past year.


LEON B. SANDERSON,


OAKLEY AMES,


SILAS SNOW,


Selectmen.

Report of Finance Committee


The Finance Committee has held five meetings the past year, to transfer sums of money from the Reserve fund as needed and to meet the officials of the different departments and consider and recommend their requests for the coming year.


The committee respectfully requests that each depart- ment submit a tentative budget prepared in detail, when called upon to meet the committee next year.


On the proposal that the town buy the Haydenville Club property as a community house, the majority of the committee is of the opinion that it is unwise to invest the town's money in this venture. It is felt that the building" is inappropriate to the present or future needs of this town. The committee points especially to the architectural de- ficiency of the building and to its lack of sufficient sur- rounding land. It is felt that the purchase of this build- ing would forestall all possibility of obtaining a really ade- quate community house in the future. The committee recommends the construction of a new building in the fu- ture.


11


The committee strongly recommends the creation of a separate board of health. The direction and improve- ment of public health in the town would be greatly facili- tated by this independent board.


Respectfully submitted,
