ACCOUNTANT'S CERTIFICATE
TO THE SELECTMEN OF THE TOWN OF SOUTHBRIDGE.
GENTLEMEN: -
I submit the report of the Town Treasurer and cer- tify that the town accounts as reported are supported by proper vouchers and that said accounts are in accord with the accounts of the various departments.
I again respectfully recommend the systematiza- tion of the Town accounts, the necessity for which is emphasized by the elaborate Municipal Report now required by the State.
The outlay for interest during the past year was occasioned by the fact that interest due in previous years had not been paid.
An appropriation of $7,000 should be sufficient for the coming year.
Respectfully yours,
ROBERT CAMPBELL.
Southbridge, February 18, 1911.
AUDITORS' CERTIFICATE

ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
SELECTMEN
In reviewing the work of the past year, it is a source of much satisfaction to find the finances of the town in the exellent condition that they are. This board. in co-operation with the town treasurer, spent much time in clearing up the muddled condition of the sewer assessment account, and it is now in much bet- ter order than at the beginning of the fiscal year. A large amount of money on this account has been taken in, and the treasurer will probably, during the next three months, have all the outstanding assessments collected, excepting, of course, those that have been outlawed. It has been found that a number of per- sons whose names appear in the report of the Investi- gating Committee, as published, indicating that they had not paid, brought in receipts, properly signed by either J. A. Hall or J. M. Olney. We believe their names should be printed in the annual town report, so that an injustice may be corrected.
Sewer assessments paid to Mr. Hall, and not ac- counted for, would make his defalcation larger than was reported last year. A note of $2,000 for Chapin and Goddard Court sewer account was found, which the treasurer's books did not show. The note was
123
REPORT OF SELECTMEN.
properly authorized by the town at an annual town meeting and signed, so provision had to be made for its payment. No interest had been paid on the same for three years. The back interest has been settled and the treasurer has transferred, since the first of the year, the sum of $1,500 voted last Spring toward the balancing of the Chapin street and Goddard court sewer
account. One payment of $500 is left unpaid, that should be provided for by transfer of money from sewer assessement account. We would recommend also that the sewer assessments levied against the town for the different public buildings should be abated or money voted to balance these accounts
The sum of $781.46 is still held by the Southbridge Savings Bank of which the town claims ownership. We believe that some understanding should be reached whereby the town should have the use of this money.
The Savings Bank lawsuit will come to trial about March 6, and we hope for a favorable result. Another lawsuit has been entered by a former police officer, who claims pay for extra services performed under the last town administration, The board does not be- lieve that the claim is well founded, and have ordered the town counsel to defend the suit.
In compliance with the authority granted us by the town at a special meeting we leased the armory building to the Dennison Manufacturing Co., of South Framingham, Mass., for a term of one year, for the sum of $150.00, the lessees to repair the building for their own uses, and the town to repair the heating plant.
We have bought a 30-ton Reliance stone crusher and a 25-horse power Ames engine and boiler for the sum of $2,025.00. At the time of the meeting we did
124
REPORT OF SELECTMEN.
not expect to get a boiler, but after receiving bids we found that we could get the entire outfit for the above amount. Now, the highway surveyor will be in a position to give the town better results for money ex- pended on the streets.
The town hall has been repaired considerably dur- ing the last year. New outside window sash and frames were set in the basement throughout, as we found the old ones in very bad condition. New win- dows were set in the assessors' room, and the room was painted and tinted. The several offices in the building were wired for electricity, and a new vault with three compartments built in the basement. The vaults were also wired for lights and were made both fire and water proof. Steel shelving and drawers for the new vaults, as well as for the vault in the select- men's room, have been contracted for and will be de- livered soon. One of these vaults is for the joint use of the assessors and the overseers of the poor, another will be used as "a plau vault" for the use of the sewer commissioners, where all sewer plans will be kept on file. The remaining vault will be for the use of the town clerk aud auditors. All these vaults were built to conform with the state laws. The old shelves in the vault in the selectmen's room were removed at the or- der of the state commissioner of public records.
The board would recommend that enough money be voted at the next town meeting so that the heating plant can be renovated and made to give more satis- factory results. It is found very expensive and diffi- cult to heat the building during extremely cold weath- er. The front hallway of the building should be paint- ed and the ceiling tinted.
The building laws accepted during the year 1909 have not worked very satisfactorily and we believe
125
REPORT OF SELECTMEN.
that it would be a good plan to have a committee named for the purpose of working out adequate and just building laws. A town of this size should see that its business district, at least, should not be endangered by the construction of any more fire traps. The con- struction of buildings not allowed by one administra- tion might be permitted by another, therefore making the workings of the present law thoroughly worthless.
In compliance with the vote of the town, to en- gage an expert accountant to go over the town ac- counts, Mr. Robert Campbell was hired to audit the books for the fiscal year just passed, and his report will be found in the town report.
Last year, in June, in answer to a notice of the railroad commissioners, that a petition had been filed by the Southern New England Railroad Corporation, for the right to build a steam railroad from Palmer, through Southbridge, to Providence, R. I., the select- men attended the meeting of said railroad commission- ers. Several hearings were held and your board was present at all of them, and worked to the best of their ability for a successful result. A delegation of 35 busi- ness men from this town, representing the sentiments expressed at a mass meeting held June 21, attended the last hearing, and their action had a very strong in- fluence upon the general result. After a certificate of exigency had been granted, the corporation filed plans and a petition with the selectmen for the acceptance of a proposed route through the town, and in compli- ance with the law, the selectmen gave the petitioners a hearing on Feb. 21, 1911. The petitioners were heard and by a rising vote the citizens expressed themselves in favor of granting the proposed route. The board, by unanimous vote, decided to grant said route. In · considering the railroad question it was found that a
126
REPORT OF SELECTMEN.
new railroad could not cross over any street at grade and we believe that it is for the interests of the town to have the grade crossings at Hook, Central and Fos- ter streets abolished in connection with the new pro- posed road. For that reason an article has been in- serted in the town warrant. After waiting 30 years the town seems about to have another railroad.
The different town boards have worked in harmo- ny during the past year. We assume all responsibility for all the work done under our jurisdiction and hope the results have been satisfactory to the citizens. All laws have been sanely enforced, but we have not sanctioned the persecution of any poor, friendless in- dividual. This has been found the most satisfactory in all well governed communities. All town accounts have been kept within the appropriations, and notes given in anticipation of taxes have been paid. We hope the next year, with a smaller number of appro- priations, the tax rate will be reduced.

ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
TREE WARDEN
Much attention was given during the year to the work of preserving public shade trees, and the warden has always assisted private owners in every way that he could, being always ready to confer with them as to the best means of saving the trees. At the begin- ning of the year it was found that the elm trees were infested with beetles to an extent never before known, this condition existing in all parts of New England as well as Southbridge.
It was a problem how best to take care of the menacing condition of things and several plans were examined and their good points duly noted. Outside men, claiming to be experts in their line, flocked into town and submitted figures for doing the work, but their price was altogether too high in the judgment of the tree warden, and selectmen, who were consulted from time to time, and it was finally thought best to buy a full and complete spraying outfit and have the work done by ourselves. The decision was a wise one, for considerable money was saved as compared with the cost which would have been entailed had the job been let ont at contract.
The warden engaged several local men with repu- tations for being good climbers and set out to spray all
128
REPORT OF TREE WARDEN.
the elm trees belonging to the town. In all, 222 trees were thoroughly sprayed, and, where there was need of it, they were trimmed, and such other work done as would tend to prolong the life of the trees.
Although much was done, there still remains need for care of the trees, and some that were not reached this year, because of want of time should be attended to the coming spring and summer. The initial expense of getting the sprayer outfit will not have to be met again, the town owning as good an equipment for this purpose as is required for the work.
More and more the importance of shade trees ought to be impressed upon the minds of the people, and everything possible done to save them. There has been a great advance along this line the past few years, my immediate predecessors having worked along the proper lines. and to them credit is due in a large measure for the excellent condition of the trees. We have tried to follow out the work as begun by them, improving where we thought we could do so and adopting the methods which is being approved by the forestry commission and such other sources of ex- pert information as we could reach. We thank those who. in kindly spirit, offered advice, and in any way helped to make our work effective. Mr. Alva L. Hyde has been especially helpful at times, freely giving us the result of his own experience and study.
