Report of Selectmen
We wish to thank all who have, by their courtesy and helpful suggestion, aided us in administering the affairs of our office.
We have given careful consideration to all matters brought to our attention, and have acted as we felt was for the best interests of the Town as a unit. After considering the different appropriations to be made at the annual meeting, we feel that just a word should be said regarding the ones of which we have the direct control.
HIGHWAYS
We have given our especial attention to this department. We feel that it is more responsible for the favorable or un- favorable impression of people seeking a town in which to make a home than any other one department coming under our control. We have added to our equipment, as you will see by the appraiser's report, and have caused to be placed in the home of the superintendent of streets a telephone, that we may keep in closer touch with him. We take this opportunity to commend him for the manner in which he has conducted his work in the past year.
Some very satisfactory results have been obtained by ploughing worn out roads, bring to a proper crown, and resurfacing with good live gravel. We have also had some success with sandy roads, by mixing clay in the proper pro- portions to get a foundation and covering with good gravel.
44
We shall recommend to you at our annual meeting, the purchase of a car load or tank of road oil, with which to bind and preserve roads that are in good condition.
We wish to encourage all those who are improving the frontage of their homes .by cutting and clearing the brush bordering on the road side. We hope to be able to do some of this work in the year to come.
We are also working with the Park department, what little we can, to aid them in their efforts to help make your Town more attractive. We have caused to be leveled and covered two of the most unsightly dumps in town, hoping to do more in the coming year, and recommending that the town provide a suitable place for a public dump.
OVERSEER OF THE POOR
There are 12 inmates at the farm. It has been the policy of the board to have the farm conducted in a manner that would make the inmates comfortable and contented.
Under the law regarding mothers aid we are obliged to help widows in needy circumstances who have children under 14 years of age, and we are constantly called upon to aid out- side poor.
REPAIR OF PUBLIC BUILDINGS
The Centre Town Hall needs shingling badly, and the old school house in South Chelmsford, in which the fire apparatus is kept should be painted.
LIGHTING
We are going to recommend a larger appropriation for street lighting. We think that a vast amount of good can be derived from the money spent for this purpose, and we feel that in justice to the people who are paying for the lights already located and deriving no benefit that we should make an effort to have the system extended.
45
MISCELLANEOUS
We feel that very few of the voters in the town realize the great number of bills to be taken care of under this head ; they are many and varied, and we trust you will be generous in your appropriation.
CATTLE INSPECTION
As the head of the Cattle Bureau has just be removed from office, and as it is impossible for us to know just how much work the incoming man will demand of our local in- spector, we can give no correct estimate.
MEAT INSPECTION
Under this department we hope to lessen the duties of this office thereby making some saving.
