Owing to unforeseen complications, this agreement has not yet been consumated, but there is every reason to believe that the deal will be closed up very soon and the money available.


Because of the above noted conditions, work was begun on the new construction at the easterly end of the depot and about 1,000 square yards of bituminous macadam was laid.


The draining of the surface water on this street was the greatest problem to overcome and required the laying of 12 in. Akron pipe on three sides of the work. About 300 feet of pipe and four catch-basins were put in, most of the excavation for which was through solid ledge. Taking into consideration the disadvantage under which this work was done and considering the small section of road built, it is safe to say that the cost per square yard about the same as on South street.


The total appropriation for this work was $2,000. The cost to date has been $264.97 for engineering and inspection and $1,920.93 paid to the contractors. The work on this street was let to the Hassam Paving Com- pany to be done under their South street contract.


EASTFORD ROAD.


After due consideration, it seemed to the commit-


252


REPORT OF ROAD COMMITTEE


tee advantageous to do this work on a percentage basis, and the work was given to the Hassam Paving Com- pany on a ten per cent. basis.


The committee endeavored for several weeks to have the county commissioners make a contribution to- wards the expense of improving this road, and at their request a survey of the entire road was made, at a con- siderable expense. As the county commissioners finally refused any assistance, only a small proportion of the engineering should properly be charged to this year's work.


From the bridge over the brook, southerly of the house of J. H. Mason, to a point about fifty feet south- erly of the drive to Miss Walker's house, a distance of 1900 lineal feet, a telford foundation of broken field stone was hammered into place. Upon this foundation was laid an eight-inch wearing surface of new gravel. Over a large area of the new roadway, a heavy fill of about four and one-half feet was necessary in order to obtain the necessary drainage.


The total appropriation for this work was $4000. The cost of construction was as follows :-


Expenses incurred by the inspection tour of County Commisioners, $18 00


Engineering expenses, 370 08


Gravel and filling supplied by J. H. Mason, 352 05


Hassam Paving Company, contractors, 3,216 27


Total, $3,956 40


NORTH WOODSTOCK ROAD.


The state of Connecticut is building a state road


253


REPORT OF ROAD COMMITTEE


to meet this road at the state line, and at the request of Woodstock citizens, the committee attended the hearing at Hartford before the Connecticut Highway Commissioner to tell of the work being done on the road this side of the line.


They also attended a hearing before the Massachu- setts Highway Commissioner, and endeavored to obtain an appropriation under the Small Town Act. The Commisioners, however, considered that Southbridge was not entitled to an appropriation this year, but we believe that a further effort should be made next year to obtain an allotment.


Work on this road was let to the Hassam Paving Company on a ten per cent. basis and construction was commenced at the top of the hill near the residence of H. S. Cheney, and extended north-westerly about 1,800 lineal feet. A telford foundation of broken field stone was laid over this foundation, a wearing surface of the best available material. A disposition of sur- face water along this highway was difficult. In taking care of this drainage, three tweve-inch corrugated steel culverts were laid. Permission from the abuttor, Mr. H. S. Cheney, was obtained to lead this water through his land. In obtaining this permit, it was first neces- sary to agree to bury about 320 feet of twelwe-inch Akron pipe, which materially added to the total cost, but was largely offset by a contribution of all filling and surface material free of cost, for the road construc- tion.


In reducing the grades along this road, we found it necessary to make some cut and some very heavy


254


REPORT OF ROAD COMMITTEE


fills. The fills approximated four feet nine inches in depth at their deepest point.


1800 lineal feet, or 4000 square yard, of new road was constructed, and about 600 feet was partly pre- pared for new construction.


The appropriation for this work was $5000.


The total cost was as follows :-


Engineering,


$150 64


Hassam Paving Company, contract,


4,571 42


Total, $4,722 06


Leaving a balance of $277 94.


MAIN STREET


The work of paving Main street with wooden blocks in accordance with the vote of the town could not be started until the wires of the Webster & South- bridge Gas & Electric Company were put under ground and the old T rails of the Worcester & South- bridge Street Railway Company replaced by girdle rails.


The selectmen have had these matters in charge and because of the usual delays incidental to matters of this kind, the street was not in a condition to begin work last summer.


However, the contract has now been let to the Adams & Ruxton Construction Company of Spring- field, and it is expected that the work will be started early in the Spring.


The appropriation for this work is $20,000.00, of which $345.18 has been expended for engineering and specifications, leaving a balance of $19,654. 82.


255


REPORT OF ROAD COMMITTEE


RECOMMENDATIONS


The committee believe that in the construction of improved country roads, the same type roads which have been constructed on the Eastford and North Woodstock roads should be adopted, but the town should be in a position to do the work itself, rather than to employ contractors.


The extremely poor condition of the Eastford road warrants the committee in recommending a further appropriation for new construction on this road. We would also recommend the completion of the work on the North Woodstock road on the section already prepared.


Regarding the type of roadbed, which should be laid in the streets of the town, the committee realize that bituminous macadam is, in the long run, a very expensive type of road to maintain. The cost of a cement road is about fifty per cent. greater, but if the maintenance charges are capitalized, it is a more econ- omical construction in the end.


We would recommend a further appropriation for South street and the completion of Crane street.

REPORT OF SEALER


with very few exceptions the dealers have tried to give an honest weight or measure and always willing to abide to the suggestions of the sealer.


I have also given special attention to some outside peddlers who have not always been conscientious in their dealings. As I believe that the local dealers who are doing an honest business, paying taxes, giving em- ployment ought to be protected, as in doing an honest business they cannot compete with peddlers who try to give 3 pecks for a bushel. I had some of these peddlers brought before the court, who paid fines, others promised to be more careful or to keep away.


The valuation of the equipment of the office of the sealer, as per inventory made on the 31st of December is $271.40.


The State Commissioner and deputies have visited the office of the sealer at different occasions and have paid the compliment that Southbridge has one of the best equiped offices in the state.


In looking the records of the town of South- bridge I find that Henry Haynes was appointed sealer in 1835 and 1836; Asra Sly, 1837; William Camp, 1838- 39-45; Alphus N. Cheney, 1840-41-42; H. F.

Clothing for the Poor


The overseers of the poor are pleased to offer their thanks to those who have contributed clothing for the worthy and needey poor, many mothers have been made happy by receiving these clothes and made garments for their little ones.


We ask you to continue these contributions of clothing for our poor who are very thankful to those who helped them to keep their little ones warm and thereby make it possible that they attend school. When you have anything for the poor simply drop a card to the Overseers of the Poor and they will call and collect it.

Annual Report


of the


BOARD OF HEALTH


-


To the Board of Selectmen.


GENTLEMEN :


The board organized with J. Anatole Caron, chair- man, Dr. George Webster, secretary, it has held monthly meetings.


The following contagious diseases have been re- ported in the last year: diphtheria 14, scarlet fever 4, typhoid fever 6, tuberculosis 6, measles 104, ophthal- mia neonatorum 1, anterior poliomyelitis 2, cerebro- spinal meningitis 2; with the following deaths, diph- theria 1, scarlet fever 1, tuberculosis 2, ophthalmia neonatorum 1, anterior poliomyelitis 1, cerebro-spinal meningitis 1. We still believe that all cases of tuber- culosis and typhoid fever are not reported to this board, therefore we can not take the precautions that we should if we knew of all cases present in the town.


The board this year started the collection of gar- bage by a town collector hired and paid for by the town, this contract was given to Gedeon Pinsonneault, Jr. for one year at a contract price of $950. Thus far the collection has been in our estimation very good,


268


REPORT OF BOARD OF HEALTH


better than we expected for the first year, the rules are printed in this report, the public must join the board and collector in this work or the desired results will not be accomplished.


The town for the first time voted this board a seperate appropriation of $2,000, the auditors' report will show how this money has been spent, although we have a good balance on hand the expenses are each year growing larger and as tuberculosis cases come to our notice that need sanatorium care, it calls for added expense, so the board feels it should have at least the same appropriation this year.


The board this year had anti-spitting signs posted about the town, while this has not done away with the spitting nuisance we believe it has caused some to be more careful and we hope they will be more and more observed by the people the coming year.


Following is a table of the different deaths and their causes.

The Board feels the town should provide some place for a public dumping ground at the Globe Vil- lage end of the town, a place was provided on the old Sandersdale road near Ft. Sumpter last year, but this is a long distance from the west end of the town, the need of a place to deposit rubbish along with the cru- sade of the board to collect garbage and to keep all back yards clean (people always keep the front yard clean) tend in a large measure to drive out the common house fly, for it is this small pest that is the means of spreading many contagious diseases, great care should be taken to have all piles of rubbish and ashes carried away, also that screen should be put on all doors and windows so that the fly cannot get to the food and drinks that have been prepared for eating; another im- portant thing is that each family or house should pro- vide itself with a covered pail large enough to hold the garbage until the collector comes and removes it, the necessity of a cover is a great one, as it stops the breed-

ing of the fly directly under you own windows and the screen keep him out of the house.


This spring as last, this board intends to have a clean up week for all back yards, this we think worked wonders for the yards for the whole summer and we hope the public will do the work in the same spirit that it is recommended "for the health of the many," es- pecially the children.


Rules and Regulations


GOVERNING THE COLLECTION OF HOUSE OFFAL


Rule 1. Every house shall be provided with a . suitable watertight covered receptacle to keep garbage and swill until the same is removed by the town scavengers. All house offall, whether consisting of animal or vegetable substance, shall be placed therein, and no refuse, tin cans, ashes, glass, sweepings, oyster and clam shells, sawdust, cork, old boots or shoes, dead animals, lawn clippings or poisonous substance, shall be mingled therewith, and the same shall be kept in some convenient place on the ground floor to be taken away by the swill collector, which shall be done as often as twice each week. Any garbage containing foreign matter of the kind enumerated above must be cared for by the owners at their own expense.

Report of Inspector of Milk


To the Honorable Board of Health:


GENTLEMEN :


I herewith submit my second annual report as your inspector of milk for the year ending December, 31, 1913.


I have visited the following dairies during the year in the several towns from which we receive our milk supply, viz: Southbridge 13, Sturbridge 3, Charl- ton 8, Dudley 7.


274


REPORT OF BOARD OF HEALTH


I have scored these diaries and they rank as fol-


lows:


Towns 30 to 40, 40 to 50, 50 to 60, 60 to 70, 70 to 80, 80 to 90, 90 to 100 %

Most of these dairies have been inspected at least twice this year and the score is an average between two visits, no examinations as to the amount of butter fat have been made by me, as the town does not have the apparatus or space to do the work, when the new high school building has been erected I hope space can be had for a laboratory for the use of the Board of Health in its several departments.


The State Board of Health has made some exam- inations of milk in town and although they will not give me the figures they tell me only a few samples have fallen below the standard and that not enough to warrant an arrest or complaint, therefore I believe the inspection work should continue on lines for clean milk and clean surroundings where milk is handled and stored.


I have issued the following licenses to twenty- eight (28) milk peddlers and one store they coming from the following towns, Southbridge 18, Sturbridge 2, Charlton 5 and Dudley 3. I have found that all are ready to live up to their licenses.


I have found several improvements, as asked for in the letters sent to the farmers last year, such as new milk rooms, more sun light in the stables and more fresh air for the cows. I believe that a large majority

of the milk sold in town is produced under good con- dition, yet there is some chance of improvements by some of the farmers.


Respectfully, ALBERT R. BROWN, Inspector of Milk.
