REPORT OF SELECTMEN
To the Citizens and Taxpayers of Southbridge :
The selectmen organized with Leon A. Caron, chair- man, Joseph LaFleche 2nd, clerk, and Joseph E. Benoit as the third member. Following is our report of some of the outstanding activities dealt with during the year 1931, and which we submit to you for approval.
Your selectmen were faced with a continued unemploy- ment situation; and as the months went by conditions be- came more and more acute. Both because of the lack of work and of sickness, larger expenses had to be met in the Soldiers' Relief Department. There were approximately twenty-six veterans receiving aid, and as each one was com- paratively young and supporting a large family, we were oblidged to expend $2,000.00 more than the previous year. We are asking for an appropriation equal to that expended this year.
Rules and regulations were made and adopted for the licensing of hawkers and pedlers operating within the town limits, to sell meat, fish, butter, cheese, fruit and veg- etables.
