ANNUAL REPORT


REPORT OF THE PARK DEPARTMENT


1958


Preparing the annual town report for the Park Department is a happy occasion for me because in reviewing the year past it gives much satisfaction to recall the many happy hours spent by young and old alike either enjoying the extensive program offered at the playground or strictly on their own.


Every year brings its share of necessary repairs and improvements on our facilities. The major one for us this year was the repair of the swimming pool sidewalk and drainage of the pool area. Additional im- provements to the swimming pool were the greatly admired and appre- ciated paint job and the new diving boards, stand and benches. This extensive program for pool improvement was financed by the Peirce Estate. The tennis courts at the central playground were resurfaced and new nets purchased. We continued our program of reclaiming land at the central playground towards the river.


Improvements at the West Side playground included the creation of a combination tennis-basketball hard-top court financed by funds raised by the Kiwanis Club and improvements to the area around the fireplace.


In line with our policy to increase the use of our playgrounds and their facilities we again sought new ways to expand the program and to make the facilities more available to the community. We continued our lengthened swimming pool season. We felt that many parents and small children would enjoy the use of the Kiddie Korners in the early evening hours, so we made them available and found it was a popular innovation. We also increased the use of the Kiddie Korners and swimming pool by making them available to responsible individuals for children's parties and other group get-togethers, and since it proved successful we plan to continue this service in the future. Two other additions to the recreation program which were whole-heartedly endorsed by youngsters were our Nature and Art classes.


We feel that one of the most important features of our whole pro- gram, one incidentally which sets us above and apart from most com- munity programs, is our bus service to the children in the suburban areas. Since its inception the response has been so gratifying that we felt these children needed a fuller program of recreation than that which they ob- tained in just two half-day trips to the playground, so to supplement this we have sent a supervisor with equipment to the different suburban areas on specified days each week.


We had a wonderful opportunity to exhibit our newly redecorated and improved swimming pool facilities last August when we were hosts for the New England Amateur Athletic Association Union's Champion- ship Swimming Meet. This proved to be one of the most enjoyable events on our calendar and the NEAAAU directors were so pleased with our facilities that they have decided to make it an annual event here.


Above and beyond the preceding we carried on our usual program of recreation with its accompanying maintenance chores.


104


ANNUAL REPORT


Naturally, with increased use of the entire playground area we find our needs increased proportionately. Our most outstanding at the present time is inadequate dressing areas for the swimmers.

We were fortunate once again this year to have the services and talents of a well-qualified staff. I would like at this time to thank them for their enthusiastic support and sympathetic handling of the children. Especially deserving of my gratitude and the gratitude of the whole community are the members of the Park Board and the Peirce Trustees.

ANNUAL REPORT


REPORT OF TREE WARDEN


The Dutch Elm Disease has again taken its toll of Elm trees and many dead and diseased trees had to be disposed of. This work has been accomplished by tree experts, the expense of which has been assumed partly by the Tree Warden's appropriation and partly through the joint cooperation of the Middleborough Gas & Electric Department and the New England Tel. & Tel. Co.


The replacement of these trees has been made possible through the purchase of seedlings which have been set out at the Town Farm and through a sum of money set aside for this purpose by the Thomas S. Peirce Fund Trustees.


The unsightly stumps which line our streets and sidewalks no longer present a problem, as experiments have been successful in their removal and plans have been made to remove many of the most hazardous ones in 1959.


The Gypsy Moth trapping program was carried out and Middle- borough was found to be relatively free from this pest. This program will however continue with the cooperation of the State Department of Con- servation.


LOUIS H. FORNEY, Tree Warden.

E: In connection with the rebuilding of Center Street, all bad serv- ice pipes were replaced from Everett Square to Main Street and a short distance around the corners on Main Street. The Gas Department also installed heavy concrete foundations for new Aluminum street light poles.


F: Leaky joints were dug up and repaired on various streets to help reduce the "unaccounted for" gas.


G: The steam boiler at the Gas House on Vine Street was converted from oil to gas by Gas Department personnel.


H: Gas Department personnel used rainy days to insulate working areas at the Gas House and to improve the Gas Plant building and piping arrangements.

ELECTRIC


A: In connection with the rebuilding of Center Street (from Everett Square to Main Street), modern aluminum poles with mercury lights were installed at intersections of Oak, Pearl, Union, and two corners of Main Street.


B: Three phase power transformer banks were installed at General Mills on Cambridge Street, Caswell's Market in North Middleboro, and at Barnicoat Monument Co. on West Grove Street.


C: The flimsy line of small and mixed wire sizes to North Middle- boro was replaced by a heavy 3 phase line from North and Everett Streets to Bedford Street. This will result in more balanced voltages, less break- ing of wires, and will permit more power to be added in the North Middle- boro area.


D: A radio tower and concrete base was installed at the Electric Light Plant by our own personnel and the radio transmitter station was moved there from the Town Hall. This change results in more reliable two-way radio service by eliminating a troublesome transmitter tie-line from the Town Hall to the Electric Light Plant and permitting the trans- mitter to operate on our station emergency power supply. (There is no emergency power at the Town Hall).


E: Various localized areas were improved by installing heavier Secondary wires. This is usually necessary where voltage complaints occur because people add heavy current consuming appliances such as electric washers, dryers, water heaters, etc.


108


ANNUAL REPORT


F: New extensions of electric lines were made on Pickens, Hill and Coombs Street in Lakeville and on Homestead Road, Starrett Avenue, and Cambridge Street in Middleboro.


G: A large amount of planning, negotiating, construction and engi- neering has been carried out by the Gas & Electric Department relative to crossings of the new Route 28 Expressway through Middleboro. The work at each crossing or bridge usually consists of four phases as follows:


1. Building a Temporary Line.


2. Removing the Existing Line.


3. Building a new Permanent Line (after bridge or road' crossing is completed.)


4. Removing the Temporary Line.


All four phases have been completed at Wareham, Cushman, Cherry and Wood Streets. Temporary Lines (and removing old lines) have been completed. at. South Main Street, Taunton Avenue, Clay Street, Bedford Street, and Harding Street. More similar work is coming up for the North Middleboro area and for the new Route 140 in Lakeville.


The total estimated cost of utility relocations in Middleboro due to the state roads is well over $100,000. Agreements have been negotiated with the State to provide for reimbursements to the Town. A substan- tial sum has been received for work already completed.
