SELECTMEN'S REPORT
REPORT OF THE BOARD OF SELECTMEN FOR 1941
To the Citizens of the Town:
The Selectmens' report for 1940 presented a summary of the major accom- plishments for the decade ending with that year. Our report for 1941 may record the constructing and placing in operation of the new combination Fire and Police and First Aid Station at Humarock. This new unit is an attractive bungalow type station and serves a most useful purpose in this rapidly growing community.
Another section of Country Way has been reconstructed over a layout made by the County Commissioners and completes the improved way from the Ehn St. intersection Southerly to Union Street. This work was carried on under so called Chapter 90 proceeding under which the Commonwealth of Massachu- setts furnishes 50% of the construction costs, the County of Plymouth 25% and the Town of Scituate 25%. This new piece of highway presents a striking con- trast to the rough and dangerous conditions that have prevailed in the past. A contract for the reconstruction of 2,275 feet of First Parish Road Easterly from its junction with Chief Justice Cushing Road over a modified layout has been let and is now under operation. This too is a co-operative project with the Town bearing 25% of the cost. Although it is now apparent that there is to be a drastic curtailment in Chapter 90 allotments for 1942 it is hoped that we may be able to secure a small allotment of State, County and Town funds sufficient to complete the rebuilding of First Parish Road through to Country Way.
Reference to the report of the W. P. A. Coordinator on another page will give in detail all of the operations carried on under this Federal Organization. Owing to the requisitioning by the Government of most of those certified for W. P. A. for employment at Ft. Revere and elsewhere, it is apparent that it will not be necessary to make a large appropriation for the continuance of the W. P. A. program for 1942. In as much as war activities are absorbing most of our employable workers and war taxes and prices will require the heaviest toll upon all our incomes ever experienced it would seem that new or unnecessary enterprises might well be postponed and your Selectmen would recommend that for the ensuing year appropriations for the most part be confined to providing for the normal functioning of our regular Town Departments.
Respectfully submitted,
JAMES W. TURNER, W. IRVING LINCOLN, WILLIAMS B. JAMES,
Selectmen of Scituate.
