Report of the Selectmen


The report of the Selectmen for the year ending Dec. 31, 1934 is herewith submitted :


The funded debt of the town has been reduced during the year by $12,300. Of this amount $7,300 consisted of serial notes due in 1933, the remaining $5,000 being the advance payment of notes on the West Rutland schoolhouse, made pos- sible because of the money received from the sale of the build- ing to the Metropolitan District Water Supply Commission. As the sale price was $12,000, there remains set aside $7,000 to be used as the town shall see fit to vote at some later meeting.


The job of perambulating the town bounds, which occurs every five years, was carried out this year; and so far as ean he ascertained none of Rutland is missing.


Taking advantage of very low prices the Selectmen pur- chased sills and planking for bridges from the wrecker of the West Rutland mill. Particularly, the task of silencing, at least temporarily, the bridge at North Rutland village has been ac- complished.


During the year the duties of registration, formerly taken care of by the Selecetmen, have been turned over to a Board of Registrars, duely appointed.


Certain extraordinary expenditures were made and are continuing to be made at the time of this report under the


36


head of C. W. A. The town garage, the hose house, and the town highways are the principal beneficiaries of this special work.


The change in the hose house is obvious from the external appearance. The newly added second floor will be available for meeting and social purposes, leaving the lower floor sole- ly for the business purposes of the fire department. After this project was started under C. W. A., there was some question as to the right of the Selectmen to sanction such changes in the building without a vote of the town. We are not yet sure of our rights in the matter, but we hope that the satisfactory results obtained will temper any severe criticism of the action so hurriedly taken.


The changes in the town garage and store house, altho less noticeable from the outside than are those of the hose house, are nevertheless substantial and quite desirable. During the summer new sills were put in where necessary. Then, under C. W. A. the garage has been given one coat of paint and is in the process of getting a second coat at the time 'of the writ- ing of this report. New windows and a new cement floor for part of the building are other improvements. The new floor construction takes in about half of the main garage, the new forge room (the old ice house), and the front part of the water department supply room (the old bowling alley). Also, the C. W. A. funds allowed the roof of the water department sup- ply shed to be renewed with new rafters where needed, new boarding, and new roofing paper. Another change in the gar- age is a chimney in the forge room. This room has sliding doors which separate it from the main garage.


The total expenditure under C. W. A. work on the garage and hose house will approximate $3,900 with the town's share about $800 (for materials), the fire brigade's share $200 (ma-


37


terials), and the Federal Government's share about $2,900 (for labor and materials). Those who selected these two jobs for C. W. A. funds hope that those who obtained employment because of this work are appreciative of the benefits of the . project.


The highway expenditure under C. W. A. was set at about $6,000, but at the time of the writing of this report there has been a radical slowing up of the work because of diminishing federal funds. The money under this allotment was to be used for rock-filling and graveling of mudholes and for cutting brush. Much of the latter has already been accomplished, and preparations for the former are well along. The county has alloted some $4200 to Rutland for highway purposes, also, and the funds are being used for work similar in nature to that of the town C. W. A. allotment.


It is estimated that about 125 Rutland residents are work- ing on town, state, and federal C. W. A. projects, with an ag- gregate payroll of perhaps $1800 per week.

Report of the Town Treasurer


During the past year we received from the Estate of Charles T. Munroe, five thousand dollars ($5,000) as a Trust Fund, under these terms :


"To the Town of Rutland, in said Common- wealth, the sum of five thousand dollars, said bequest to be kept safely invested until such time as it shall by accumulation of income, or other gift, amount to twenty thousand ($20,000) dollars, at which time it shall be kept safely invested and the interest only thereof be devoted to the maintenance of the Pub- lic Schools in the Town of Rutland, and to be known as the 'Munroe Fund'."


For the present time I have deposited this money in an interest account in the Northborough National Bank.


The balance of five thousand dollars due on the West Rutland School House was paid from funds received from the sale of said schoolhouse to the Metropolitan District Water Supply Commission.
