REPORT OF THE TOWN MANAGER
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen, Middleboro, Mass.
Gentlemen:
I herewith present the annual report of the Town Manager for the year ending December 31, 1941.
Highways
The program of resurfacing gravel roads with a perma- nent type of surface was continued by the constructing of new surfaces on various road locations in the town.
Due to the condition of the roads in general I recom- mend a much larger highway appropriation for the year 1942 which in part should be used for the purchase of additional machinery; thus providing a means for keeping the roads in good condition.
New Con- struction
Plympton Street mixed in place 3,200 feet
Marion Road mixed in place (surface) 11,570 feet
Centre Street mixed in place (surface) 9,768 feet
Cherry Street Base for mixed in place 1,200 feet
Cedar Street Base for mixed in place 3,000 feet
R. R. Bridges at Middleboro Green mixed in place surface 200 feet
R.R. Bridges at Everett Street mixed in place surface 500 ft. Parking Space, No. Main Street. 40,000 square feet East and Beach Street Base for mixed in place 5,500 feet. Bridge at Electric Plant (Wareham St.) (Reinforced con- crete floor) .
During the year 6,284 gals. of binder and 40 tons of patching material were used, 4,928 gals. of dust layer and 24,704 gals. of Tarvia were applied for surface treatment.
Water
The water department has been operated efficiently which is shown by the financial statement of the depart- ment. The profit as shown should be appropriated the following year for extensions and improvements instead of being used to reduce the general tax levy, the rates should be increased and the additional revenue used for mains and the plant.
The appropriation for the repairing of the water tower on Barden Hill should be set up so that it could be used either for repair or construction purposes thus allowing the appropriation to be used to pay a portion of the cost of the construction of a new steel standpipe of larger dimensions than the present tank.
W. P. A.
Due to the curtailment of W. P. A. and since there are now only two projects operating, viz. Commissary, and Soldier's Grave Registration projects, I would recommend a small appropriation only to carry these projects to com- pletion.
I wish to express my gratitude to all the employees of the Town of Middleboro who were responsible for the efficient execution of the municipal business for the year 1941.
Respectfully submitted,
E. C. PETERSON, Town manager.
