AIRPORT COMMISSION


REPORT OF THE SOUTHBRIDGE AIRPORT COMMISSION FOR THE PERIOD AUGUST 30 TO DECEMBER 31st 1946


To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:


Town of Southbridge


The Southbridge Airport Commission composed of the under signed individuals was set up as a result of the voters of the town accepting the provisions of Chapter of the Acts of 1946 of the State Legislature. At a meeting of your Board held August 26th you ap- pointed the following to serve for the indicated terms:


Herbert W. Wilkinson, Jr. 1 year


Albert DiGregorio


2 years


Edmund Ryan


3 years


Philip Gauthier


4 years


Dwight K. Bartlett, Jr.


5 years


These individuals met after duly qualifying and organized as a commission on August 30th, electing Mr. Bartlett as chairman and Mr. Gauthier as secretary. The commission has had very little to use as a guide in as much as most airports are operated by the regula- ting commission with a paid personnel reporting directly to the com- mission and with parts of the airport area leased to one or more con- cessions. The investigation made by the leasing committee elected at the annual town meeting in March 1946 had recommended that the area of the airport outside the runways be leased to Southbridge Skypark, Inc. and had executed such a lease effective August 1, 1946. This lease has been honored by the present commission and has been recorded by the chairman at the Registry of Deeds in Worcester.


Proper air approach rules for the operation of the airport have been enacated by the commission and also rules covering the ground operation of the landing strips. The commission is still engaged in a study of the problem of control of the air approaches to the run- ways. This is a problem for the whole country and we are endeavor- ing thru the State Areonautical Commission to keep abreast of the latest thought and action. Only one airport in Massachusetts at this writing has the job completed, namely Bedford Airport, and that instance the Federal Government did the work under the press of war activity. Present trends indicate that zoning of approach areas rather than securing easements is the best method. Southbridge is fortunate in that its airport is two hundred feet more or less above the center of the town with the result very few edifices ever will project up into the twenty to one glide angle of approach to the run- ways and also on the easterly and southerly approaches will reach the five hundred foot height of free airspace short of the two miles usually required.


-18-


In November your commission filed form ACA 1623 thru the State Areonautical Commission applying for funds from the Federal Government for additional development of the airport. It is the in- tention of the State Areonautical Commission to file a bill with the State Legislature in January appropriating Funds to go with these Federal Funds in developing airports within the Commonwealth. We applied for $24,000 of Federal money to lengthen and pave the north south runway. This means that the town would secure a total of $36,000 by appropriating $12,000. Since filing for this money we have been notified that a total of $37,150 will be available for this project if the town appropriates $10,238 and the State the same, but no money will be available until a master plan outlining a program of development over a number of years is drawn up and submitted to the State Areonautical Commission. Thru the kindness of your Town Engineer such a plan is in the process of development and your commission proposes to submit an article or articles to be in- cluded in the warrant of the Annual Town Meeting in March so that the voters of the town may pass upon the question at that time. Pending such action we propose to keep the voters of the town cognizant of the problem so that an intelligent decision can be made at that time.


During the late fall cord wood standing on the airport area was made available to the Board of Public Welfare for use at the Town Infirmary. It is the intention of the Commission to co-operate at all times with other departments and agencies and to stand ready to answer questions concerning the operating of the airport at any town meeting. The whole subject of municipal airport operation is so new that any ideas or suggestions the voters may wish to offer will be attentively heard and acted upon if deemed feasible.


Due to the fact that this report covers less than a six months period of operation of the airport it does not seem advisable to submit a financial report. However the town has received as of August 1, 1946 the minimum rental of $300 ;. There have been expended no funds on maintenance as yet. This spring it will be necessary to roll the air strips and funds for that and other airport commission activities will be requested.


Respectfully submitted, DWIGHT K. BARTLETT, JR., Chairman

PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT COMMITTEE


Honorable Board of Selectmen Southbridge, Massachusetts


Gentlemen:


Immediately following the Annual Town Meeting ,the South- bridge Public Improvement Committee proceeded with the necessary revision of tabulations. All Town Departments and Officials were promptly contacted and forms were sent out for review and relisting of all capital expense public improvements. All revisions were com- pleted in time, so that the Committee's suggestions were in printed form earlier than last year.


Each suggested project for 1947 was discussed at the well-attend- ed meeting called by your Board at which practically every Depart- ment was represented December 6. Specific recommendations will be discussed at a subsequent similar meeting well in advance of the Annual Town Meeting, so that the description of projects and amounts involved in each article in the warrant will be carefully detailed.


A copy of the Committee's recommendations was given to each Town Department early in December, and each family unit will re- ceive one by the middle of January.


Your Committee feels that considerable progress is reflected by a comparison of the tabulations and project listings in the 1946 Report as compared with that of 1945. Community interest indicates con- siderable further refinement can be expected by a continuation of the Committee's work.
