REPORT OF THE BOARD OF SELECTMEN
To the citizens of the Town of Medfield, the Board of Select- men respectfully submit a resume of the events of the past year.
Organization
The Board of Selectmen organized March 3, 1943, with Frank G. Haley, Chairman, Charles W. Haigh, Clerk, and Robert H. Fraser.
The Selectmen have held many hearings on various matters during the year and have attended many meetings and conferences outside of the town on municipal affairs. The work of the Select- men has increased tremendously through the acceptance of various duties thrust upon them by the Federal and State Governments.
Highways
Physically, all highways and streets in the State belong to one system. The motoring public recognizes no political bound- aries nor is the motorist concerned if he leaves one class of high- way to travel on another. He expects to find them serviceable. Each road in the public highway system depends upon other roads to justify its existence because each highway receives or delivers its traffic from or to some other highway. With this responsibility in mind the highway department exerts every effort to furnish well maintained roads to the public.
Regular maintenance, such as cleaning catch basins, patching, gravelling, and repairing shoulders was performed. Twelve com- plete roads and portions of nineteen received applications of tarvia with sand cover.
Sections of Route 109 were coated with asphalt, covered with stone and rolled.
The remaining sections should be similarly treated in order to preserve the surface.
Drainage pipe was laid along Hospital Road to prevent re- currence of frost upheavals in the spring.
Several culverts were constructed on Granite Street. The County Commissioners were petitioned for a lay-out of Granite Street from Forest Street to the Walpole Line. This road was laid out in 1742 but no definite bounds were determined or recorded at that time. Although little travelled it is necessary to main- tain this road in a passable and safe condition.
7
Many road signs were renewed and railway distant signs were repainted.
A welding machine and sand spreader were purchased. Elec- tric lights were installed in the Store House and a new wire brush drag was built by the highway department.
The purchase of another loading machine to replace the one on hand is recommended as soon as government priorities are released. This machine is eighteen years old and beyond the stage where repairing is economical.
Highway appropriations in 1943 were the lowest in years. The department had $2750.00 less to spend than in 1942 despite the fact that maintenance, cost of equipment, wages and cost of materials advanced anywhere from 25% to 75%.
Sidewalks
Sidewalks were repaired as efficiently as obtainable materials would permit. Barrelled tar was purchased this fall after priori- ties were removed and it is hoped that the apparatus necessary to apply it may be borrowed from neighboring towns this summer.
Bridges
New planking was laid where necessary on several bridges. The under-pinning of the Noon Hill Road bridge spanning Stop River shall have to be renewed and the bridge reconstructed.
Post-War Public Works
At the request of the Governor a municipal post-war public works program has been undertaken by the Selectmen and the following committee has been named to formulate plans:
Myron H. Smith, Richard E. Huebener, Carlton W.
Kingsbury, Charles W. Haigh and Frank G. Haley.
The function of municipal post-war public works is to give consideration to providing employment for the men and women who will be released from the armed forces and from war industry, until such time as peacetime industry can absorb them. It is as- sumed that these projects will be financed by the Federal, State, County and Town governments and shall be selected by the voters of the Town at a Town Meeting.
The following projects are being considered and plans and specifications are in process:
8
Sewer Extensions
Miller Street from collecting wells to Oak Street.
Oak Street from Miller Street to South Street.
Oak Street from Miller Street to Park Street. Pleasant Street, Oak Street to old school lot. South Street from Main Street to Oak Street. Park Street from Main Street to Oak Street.
Frairy Street from Railroad to Dale Street including automatic lifting pump and collecting pump.
South Street from Pound Street to Pleasant Street.
Pleasant Street at the South Street end.
Pleasant Street from Oak Street to bend at playground.
Pleasant Street from bend at playground toward South Street.
Collecting well and automatic pump to be installed.
Water 1
High Street extension 8" x 6" on High and Plain Streets. Pine Street to Olyott's barn.
Nebo Street to Phillip Street.
Highway
Improvement and reconstruction of Pine Street from Winter Street to the Dover Line.
Granite Street from Forest Street to the Walpole Line.
Metacomet Playground
Construction of additional tennis courts, relocation of base- ball and football fields and general landscaping.
Sidewalks
Reconstruction of bituminous sidewalks on numerous streets.
The Selectmen recommend that at the conclusion of war the town engage a heating expert to survey and recommend to the town an improved heating system for the Town House. They believe that changes can be made to give a more satisfactory distribution of heat at lower fuel cost.
January 1, 1943, the Selectmen ordered an Honor Roll to be affixed to the front of the Town House as the most feasible and prominent location possible. 10% of the town population was considered a reasonable estimate of the number of names recorded on it but, to take care of any contingency, the Selectmen provided space to accommodate 15% or 283 names. At this date that space is inadequate owing to the increase in the number of persons in-
9
·
ducted in service, inclusion of women and the large enlistment of the Medfield State Hospital. Plans are underway to add two smaller rolls to be affixed to the columns on each side of the present Roll. It is believed that this will make an attractive ar- rangement and amply take care of all future enlistments for the duration.
The Selectmen and the various departments of the Town have practised economies and eliminated everything but war time essentials from their budgets to give the Town the lowest tax rate since 1938 despite the additional expense of the new school building.
The Selectmen have great admiration for the splendid re- sponse of the men and women of Medfield in answer to the country's "Call to Arms." They also, in behalf of the Town wish to asknowledge the patriotism and fortitude of their relatives in cooperating with the war effort in addition to pursuing their daily tasks.
During the year it has been necessary for the Selectmen to appoint a number of committees for local, state or federal affairs. In a good many instances considerable work was involved. Not one of the persons appointed refused to serve. We are proud of this record and wish to acknowledge that such a cooperative attitude is greatly appreciated by your Selectmen.
The fine spirit of cooperation shown by the various depart- ment heads is to be commended. As we all know, this town, as well as all others, suffered from a serious shortage of labor. A good proportion of our labor was shifted from one department to another as contingencies arose and, in that way, we managed to get the essential work completed.
Respectfully submitted,
FRANK G. HALEY, CHARLES H. HAIGH,
Selectmen of Medfield.

I
CIVILIAN DEFENSE
Many changes have taken place since our organization was begun in the dark days of December 1941. While we were ac- tually organized some time before Pearl Harbor, yet it was more or less in skeleton form until the war was forced upon us. Since that time, material changes, to conform with current conditions, have been adopted. Consolidation has been necessary in view of the fact that three hundred of the townspeople have been called into the service, which has greatly depleted our ranks. We all realize that the removal of 15% of the cream of our manpower leaves a considerable burden on those remaining at home. Our government considers it essential to continue with our work and until we receive orders to the contrary we will carry on to the best of our ability.
Our Report Center is still on a twenty-four hour basis. We realize that, at this time, this is monotonous work and much credit is due Mrs. "Jo" Colt for the splendid attendance which she and her fine corps of assistants are maintaining. It should be under- stood that the Police Department handles the Report Center be- tween the hours of 6:30 P. M. and 7 A. M. This splendid coopera- tion is typical of this Department.
Our present need is more volunteers, who can and will spend an hour or two a week at the Report Center. We have some faithful workers who have been carrying a heavy load but they need assistance. Bring your fancy work and also a friend and spend a sociable hour.
Our Transport and Canteen Units, under the direction of Captain Frothingham, Lieutenant Howlett and Lieutenant Penni- man are, as usual functioning in an efficient manner. These units have been working in co-operation with the State Guard, Red Cross, and the primary grades of our school. Lieutenant Howlett and Sergeant Wills especially, have been doing "WAAC" duty, assisting in many ways with the multitudinous details con- nected with State Guard work. The Transport Unit has been used in convoying the State Guard to the Wakefield Rifle Range and have used the range also. They have been taught by com- petent army men how to shoot rifles, shotguns and sub-machine guns and have thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The Canteen has fed the State Guard at this camp several times which has been excellent experience for them. In addition, there have been mobilizations and parade work. This training has made them fit and ready for any emergency job which may arise out of war or disaster.
BLOOD DONATIONS are the most important contribution today. We recognize this, as you all do, and consequently we have put in a large part of our time on this most important
11
function. This work, of course, comes under the direct supervision of the Red Cross and not the Civilian Defense, but it has been a pleasure and a privilege to assist in this work. You will recall last July a Blood Bank was held in Millis and we assisted both in the transportation of the blood donors and in the clerical work involved. We were very gratified at the excellent showing of the Medfield people. In addition we are ready at any time to arrange for transportation to Boston of any person who desires to donate blood at the headquarters on Boylston Street.
During the summer months arrangements were made for a Community Market. This was a new venture for Civilian Defense, and, on the whole, worked out very satisfactorily. Next year, with the experience gained during the past summer, we feel that arrangements can be made so that many more people will benefit.
Arrangements were made last fall with the Grammar School for the serving of hot soup to the younger school children dur- ing their noon recess. The Red Cross gladly joined with us in this work and these two organizations are doing this work, each taking their weekly turn.
During the year there has been several salvage drives. Metals of all kinds, old clothes, papers and tin cans are all essential for the war. Not only Civilian Defense and Red Cross workers have assisted but many others not connected with any organization, have joined with us in this important work and have done a grand job. Medfield's record is high in this respect and the people should be complimented on their fine spirit, and willingness to dig in and keep the wheels turning.
The State Guard has now been operating for approximately a year and a half. This unit is composed of men from both Millis and Medfield. One of the finest honors which can be given to a military unit is to be named as "Color Guards" in parades or reviews. Medfield has had this honor, not once, but three times. We do not think it necessary to say any more except, "Keep up the fine work. You are a credit to any community and we are proud of you." In addition to this our State Guard made a mass pilgrimage to donate blood to the Red Cross Blood Bank.
There has been a reduction this past year in the number of Air Raids as compared with the previous year and as a result our Air Raid Wardens, Auxiliary Police and Auxiliary Firemen have not been called to duty as much in the past. We know, how- ever, that they are ready and would be on the job if the occasion demanded.
We have striven during the past year toward the accomplish- ment of the fundamental things of this changing world of ours and my hearty thanks and appreciation go to the people who have assisted to make these things possible.
CHARLES W. HAIGH,
Chairman Civilian Defense.
