Under a state sponsored program, known as Chapter 782, a sum of $5,000.00 has been made available for Chapter 90 highway work.
We recommend that this sum be made available as the town's share and continue the reconstruction of South Main Street to Elm Street.
We recommend that a sum of money be made available for the reconstruction of Anthony Street and also a sum of money for the improvement of Riverside Drive.
An additional sum of $900.00 has been recommended by the Department of Public Works to be used in conjunc- tion with our 1961 and 1962 allotments for the repair and painting of the Berkley-Dighton Bridge.
Although many dead elm trees have been removed along our roadways during the past several years, much more work has to be done to cope with this situation.
We would also like to see more of the town's people take a more active participation in the town's civil defense pro- gram.
In conclusion, may we express our appreciation to all for their cooperation with us in the conduct of the town's business.
