REPORT OF SELECTMEN
To the Citizens and Taxpayers of Southbridge.
The Selectmen herewith submit for your approval, a brief report of the activities of the board for the past year.
As the year was one of business depression, your Se- lectmen have been called upon to face many problems and the expenses of the town have necessarily been large, especially in aid rendered to the veterans of past wars, many have been out of employment and we have been compelled to aid them, not only giving them proper food, fuel, housing and clothing, but have tried and have, found work for many in and around the town, most of these men had rather work if possible, in the finding of work we are indebted to and wish to thank the several factories, Highway Department and the Contractors, who have co-operated with us.
Repairs have been made on the town hall building so far as the appropriation would allow, the brick work on the outside, some inside painting have been done, at the summer inspection one of the boilers was found to he leaking this was repaired at a cost of about $250, these boilers will soon have to be replaced and at that time the question of using oil for fuel should be considered, there are yet some needed repairs to be done and the Selectmen would ask that the appropriation for this account be in- creased $500.00 for the coming year.
The Selectmen caused the construction by contract of the sidewalks on Moon, Snow, Dresser and Cohasse "'reets and on Newell Ave., also the paving on Marcy street and the upper part of Hartwell street, all as voted
-20-
ly the town under special articles, the lower part of Hartwell street was constructed by town labor under the supervision of Highway Surveyor.
Your Selectmen have tried on several occasions to bring about a settlement of land damages on Dudley Ri- ver Road, the town having voted to assume these when the State constructed the road, up to this time we have been unable to reach an agreement with but three of the seven involved, therefore we respectfully ask that an amount be appropriated for this account.
During the fall the County Commissioners relocated the road from Globe Village bridge to the Sturbridge town line, this road is now under construction by the Dept. of Public Works, at the hearing your Selectmen suggested and we believe that the land damages will be paid by the County. The Selectmen acted with the Se- lectmen of Sturbridge in this project: We have also in- terested ourselves in the repair of the State road from this town to Charlton City, having had an interview with the Dept. of Public Work in Boston.
A committee on unemployment was appointed as suggested by his Excellency, the Governor, Frank G. Al- len, to act in conjunction with a Committee appointed by him, this committee consists of both men and women.
During the year the Board laid out as public streets, Moon Street Extension and Randolph Street, and relo- cated the junction of Charlton Street and the Old Charl- ton Road. These were later favorably acted upon by the Town at special town meetings.
At the annual meeting the citizens voted to have storm water drains put into Worcester and Mechanic streets, this was done by contract, and at the same time the rails of the Worcester Consolidated Street Railway Co., were removed along Mechanic street from the junc-
-21-
tion to the bridge, as well as the rails on the lower part of Main street, the Selectmen recommend the continua- tion of the construction of these storm water drains in other parts of the town.
Following will appear the reports of Town Officers and of officers appointed by the Selectmen, which will show the work in detail of their respective departments.
Respectfully submitted JOSEPH LAFLECHE, 2nd ALFRED J. PELOQUIN JOSEPH E. BENOIT
