REPORT OF CEMETERY COMMITTEE
The Cemetery Commission organized with Seaver M. Rice as Chairman and S. W. Williams, Clerk. During the winter months no one was employed on a full time basis. Starting with April first four men were hired. This num- ber was gradually increased until the week before Memo- rial Day when eight men were employed. An effort was made during this period to prepare the Cemetery for May 30th. Perpetual Care lots were inspected during the first week of May, their condition noted and needed work done. After Memorial Day our force was gradually re- duced until by early fall only one man was retained. We planned our expenditures so that we were able to retain sufficient help throughout the summer to assure us the Cemetery would present a well-kept, attractive appear- ance during this season. During the past five years it has been increasingly difficult to do this. This has been caused by the low income derived from the Permanent Fund due to the reduction in interest rates paid by the banks in which this fund is invested. A power mower and trimmer were added to our equipment during the summer. This purchase has proven so successful that we have recom- mended the purchase of a second power mower. We are convinced two can be used to advantage during the mow- ing season. A transfer of funds from the Sale of Lots ac- count enabled us to install permanent concrete drains in sections where the roads washed badly. A quantity of flowering shrubs and trees to partially replace older plantings that have been removed during the past ten
96
years were planted in advantageous locations. We feel a constructive landscape program is badly needed and should be given serious consideration in the future.

REPORT OF THE HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT
To the Citizens of Southbridge :
The Highway Department submits its Report for the year of 1937.
Our efforts during the year were directed in the main to country roads leading from the rural sections to this community. These roads were in almost impassable condition after the Winter thaws, and we believe that such roads should be given the attention they deserve if we desire our farming neighbors to come to our commu- nity for their trading, which trade is very desirable to our merchants.
The rural roads receiving the most attention were : Breakneck, Blackmer, Dennison District, Dresser Hill, Old Dudley, Old Charlton, Guelph Woods, Clemence Hill, and Brickyard.
We expended the following approximate amounts on these roads :
Breakneck Road
$3,124.00
Blackmer Road
2,562.00
Dennison District
800.00
Dresser Hill Road
650.00
Old Dudley Road 400.00
Old Charlton Road
750.00
Guelph Woods Road
900.00
Clemence Hill Road
350.00
Brickyard Road
200.00
The Town has long been in need of a good roller, but due to unavoidable appropriations the Department has
98
had to resort to the rental of such equipment. Arrange- ments were made for the rental of a roller with the under- standing that the Town would be given full credit for all rental paid towards the purchase price of the roller if the Town wished to buy the roller in the near future.
The Department has the following automotive equipment :
1 1933 Dodge Pickup Truck
1 1933 G. M. C. 11/2 Ton Dump Truck
1 1934 Ford V-8 11/2 Ton Dump Truck
1 1935 Ford V-8 11/2 Ton Dump Truck
1 Allis Chalmers Tractor
We find that two of these trucks are now almost due for the junk heap and would recommend that an appro- priation of $2,500.00 be made for replacing the obsolete trucks.
The Town Barn is considered in reasonably good condition. There is need, however, of certain improve- ments and repairs, and it is the hope of the Department to make such repairs as are deemed urgent and providing appropriation will permit.
The Lincoln Street Project was more costly than was expected for the following reason. When we started to dig trench for the water drain, we discovered bed springs and other debris, which made it necessary to rent a power shovel to dig the 170 feet of trench. We laid 170 feet of 12 inch concrete pipe, and built one catch basin. We also graveled, graded, rolled and oiled Lincoln Street.
The following local streets were scraped, graveled, rolled, and oiled using approximately 27,750 gallons of road oil: South, Water, Winter, School, West, Pleasant, River, Paige Hill, East Main, Charlton, Worcester, Moon,
99
Snow, Mechanic, Roberts, Cross, Union, Fiske, Cliff, and Morris, Thomas, Olney Ave., Newell Ave., Lovley.
The heavy rains this Fall caused considerable flood damage. Several streets had to be regraveled and water drains put in. Fiske Street received the most attention using 2,500 cubic yards of gravel, and 130 feet of corru- gated iron pipe for drains. A new water drain was in- stalled on the Old Dudley Road. West Street and the Dennison District were washed out enough to make the roads impassable. A new catch basin was built on Paige Hill.

REPORT OF TOWN ACCOUNTANT
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen
Southbridge, Mass.
Gentlemen :
Herewith is presented the annual report of the Ac- countant's Department for the year 1937. The report follows substantially the requirements of the State sys tem of Accounting with some exceptions, where we have elaborated in greater detail for purpose of clearness.
It has long been our opinion that the detail disburse- ment schedules should be broken down sufficiently to give a more complete insight of the Town's finances.
Unfortunately, because of a limited appropriation. this office does not feel justified in an expenditure for special forms differing from those supplied by the Divi- sion of Accounts.
During the year of 1937 the Contributory Retire- ment System became effective July 1st. The law speci- fically states that the details of administering it rest with the Town Accountant's Department. The Retirement Board acts in an advisory capacity as to the application of the law. Needless to emphasize, this has added con- siderable routine to the office which is endeavoring to assume the additional work with a part time assistant.
Judging from the increase of inquiries received dur- ing the past year, it is quite apparent that taxpayers are showing greater interest in governmental activities and
108
finances. This is a most encouraging sign as this office has long felt the Accounting Department was not merely a bureau of recording disbursements. It is desire of the department to give all possible assistance to citizens of the Town and fact-finding committees in supplying them with detail expenditures and the financial condition of the Town.
Notwithstanding the added responsibilities sought by the Accountant's office on its own initiative, the Ac- countant began supplying a Balance Sheet on a quarter- ly basis. These condensed reports have been furnished your Board and to the Appropriation or Finance Commit- tee. Copies of the reports have also been supplied to the Division of Accounts where they are available to finan- cial institutions who do not receive them direct. It is felt that these reports enable the Town to receive most favorable rates when in need of borrowing funds, since reference is made possible at the State Department.
In this report we should like to emphasize the im- portance of a closer check-up by Department officials of bills presented for payment. Too often duplications are approved without thought that the original voucher has been forwarded to this office for payment. This danger can very easily occur where invoices are delayed by the department making the purchase. All bills against the Town should be approved within reasonable period and submitted to the Accountant for payment, if found to be correct. It is also imperative that bills presented be itemized and clear. It is often impossible for this depart- ment to properly classify expenditures when the depart- ment official is unaware of the origin of the purchase and cannot indicate its purpose. We are happy to mention this condition is slight but it does not contribute to the best interest of their Town whenever this occurs.
In accordance with the custom of the past years the annual audit by the State Division of Accounts has been made and recently completed. We are informed that
109
several innovations will be recommended due to passage of new statutes and amendments to existing laws, parti- cularly the setting-up of State and County Aid for High- ways. It now appears that Towns receiving this aid must resort to borrowing funds in anticipation of the State and County re-imbursement regardless of available cash bal- ance.
In conclusion we wish to acknowledge the co-opera- tion and assistance of fellow-officials who availed them- selves of the Department's facilities.
Respectfully submitted,
JOS E. DESROSIER
Town Accountant
