The above report is listed in abbreviated form which has been the custom set up by the Board of Selectmen about four years ago. I find it necessary this year to elaborate on the working conditions of this department as I feel that the general public is not aware of the working conditions under which this department has to operate.
By law we are required to submit to the Town Accountant ten (10) days prior to the end of the fiscal year a budget request for the coming year. This department cannot presume to esti- mate its full required budget because we have no way of es- timating the actual amount of work that will be voted at the annual or special Town Meetings. It is also impossible to es- timate the number of requests for new streets, sewers, drains, and pole locations. We are also faced with the uncertainty as to the time element, and schedule of operation which will be forced on us by conditions beyond our control. This year we were faced with additional work due to the extension of time granted on contracts, and this department has been forced to work twelve (12) weeks overtime beyond the normal estimate of twenty (20) weeks. The situation does not seem to be under- stood in that there is no allowance for any flexibility in the bud- get which would place this department in a position to require a normal week's work from its employees.
We are also faced with the fact that 90% of the requests for articles that go into the warrant are given to the Engineer- ing Department too late to be able to give adequate estimates
47
and allow proper time for complete study of each and every article, which again brings about a delay of the actual starting of construction time because that which was not possible to do prior to the meeting still has to be done before contracts are let out. Most requests for articles that are to be inserted are received by this department from approximately February 1 to March 1, which gives this department approximately thirty (30) days, and also at the worst part of the year for weather conditions. These thirty days are as a rule cut down to approxi- mately fifteen (15) days of possible working time on the outside. This condition leads to improper estimates and consequently often times results in delay to obtain additional money required.
I have repeatedly requested of all Boards that insert articles in the warrant, to meet, discuss, and decide which projects they intend to do for the coming year and in that way be able to work on projects that have very good possibilities of being passed at the Town Meeting. This would also allow the proper allocation of the money to be spent and would also allow proper over all planning of work required to be done in the Town.
-
Another problem this Department is faced with is the one of transportation. We are required to provide our own cars for transportation, use them as trucks, carrying all equipment necessary, and the average rate of compensation has been ap- proximately one dollar per day, which is insufficient and a financial burden on the employees. I therefor find it necessary to request your Board that the following conditions be straight- ened out before or at the annual Town Meeting or by whatever means possible:
1. Setting up of fair working hours for the Department and allowing for overtime when necessary at time and a half for any overtime for all employes;
2. To provide a budget with sufficient flexibility which will al- low the hiring of additional help to take care of any ad- ditional work;
3. To properly compensate the employees for the use of pri- vate vehicles or furnish Town-owned vehicles for that purpose;
4. Contract working time to be set up on the same basis as the work week set up for Department;
5. Provisions made that no article be inserted in warrant at annual or special Town Meeting that does not provide the proper amount of time for complete study, plans and estimates;
6. For the provision of a full-time clerk as the Department re- quirements are now sufficient to warrant it.
48
-
The results obtained by the Town have been and will be only in that proportion wherein the above requirements are met.
I wish to take this opportunity to thank the members of your board and other boards, committees, and departments, for their cooperation during the year.
Respectfully submitted, HENRY A. RACICOT, Town Engineer.
REPORT OF THE PLANNING BOARD
Zone Changes
During the year 1952, the Planning Board granted two zone changes, Sam Apostola, Morris Street and Albert Renaud, junc- tion of Cliff Street and Clemence Hill Road. A zone change was asked by George Duquette on Hamilton Street (Phil's Auto Sales) but later withdrawn.
Subdivisions
Subdivisions were granted to A. E. Maynard, Chapin Court, J. J. Hogan (Hogan Realty Co.) on Durfee Street, Gerald Le- moine on Dennison Heights; A. T. Wells, Main Street; Nick Woulas, off Elm Street.
Complaints
Complaints were received from Archie Keyes, Dresser Street; Home Owners on Hartwell Terrace, and Miss Laro- chelle and Mrs. Martel of Pine Street. All complaints were settled to the satisfaction of complainants.
Safety
The Board suggested the widening of Marsh Street en- trance near Eastford Road. The Town voted to do so, and the job was done.
The Town maps were improved, all existing water lines and high and low pressure lines are indicated in different colors on map. A rack was purchased and will be mounted on wall to hold four maps. Cases were purchased to hold individual maps for better protection to be set in rack as a permanent fixture.
49
A good number of people appeared before the Board for information and help in finding out if they were acting within the Planning Board laws, as applies to the Town of Southbridge, all were satisfactorily taken care of.
Respectfully submitted,
RAYMOND YATES,
Recording Secretary, Planning Board.

DEPARTMENT OF CIVILIAN DEFENSE
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
During the past year several surveys have been made to determine what facilities are available for immediate use in case of any emergency and comprise Housing, Hospitals, Trucks and Trailers for transportation and Emergency Group Feed- ing, as well as Clinics for mass "Sick Call."
Many buildings have definitely been designated for specific uses, transportation has been accounted for, auxiliary com- munications planned and tests made of mobile radio by the Amateur Radio League members. The Boy Scouts have dis- tributed literature, and the Southbridge Woman's Club Com- mittee supervised and assisted in a Blood Typing Program. The Auxiliary Police have held classes of instruction and been on duty on several occasions and are well organized to handle traffic. The radio receiver in the Police Headquarters has func- tioned perfectly to receive the "Air Defense Warnings" and re- ports of these tests are made weekly to the Department of Public Safety in Boston.
First Aid Classes and Home Nursing Classes have been held by the Red Cross and it is desired that more people will take advantage of this opportunity.
To all the volunteers, many thanks for their help.
EDWARD L. CHAPIN, Director.

REPORT OF THE RECREATION COMMITTEE
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen
Gentlemen:
Following is our annual report to you on recreation in the Town of Southbridge. It is divided into four separate reports submitted by the Chairmen of each recreational area for clarity. Respectfully submitted, FRANK P. SKINYON, Chairman. JOSEPH DUFFY, Co-Chairman. LORENZO D. BEAUPRE, Councillor. Southbridge Recreation Committee.
REPORT OF DRESSER ST. FIELD SUB COMMITTEE
To the Chairman of the Recreation Committee:
Dresser Street Field opened about the middle of April this year, this allowed ample time to get the field into condition for the beginning of the Summer program of recreation. Mary E. Wells High and Cole Trade High Schools used the baseball dia- mond for their scheduled games and much of their practice. The diamond was used every school day by these teams on an
53
alternating schedule from about the middle of May until the last of June. Notre Dame Alumni used the diamond on a few occasions this year for games or practice as they have a newly organized baseball team and schedule.
The diamond will be needed by the three teams in the fu- ture; this creates a problem, as all of the school teams will need it at the same time of day.
The "Hoboes"
A new baseball team was formed this year called "The Hoboes" under the leadership of Joe Capillo, the Southbridge News Sports Editor. The team played three games of a regu- lar schedule and a night game against the Southbridge Old Timers for the benefit of the Jimmy Fund. The added big base- ball program during the Summer gave many hours of recrea- tion and pleasure to many of the townspeople. It was a pleasure.
The track was used for Mary E. Wells track events as were the broad jump pit, the shot put court and the high jump area in the Spring. In the Fall the track was used by both Wells High and Trade High for practice and for conducting their cross-country events. There were three track meets held on the field, and about four or five cross-country events.
We have received complaints about the condition of the track as rain keeps washing up large cinders. It will be neces- sary very soon to do a major job of reconditioning the entire track.
Little League Baseball
Little League Baseball was in its second year of operation this year with Mr. Jacob Edwards as its president. The Little League diamond which was constructed at the field last year was used to play off a 36-game schedule between 4 teams starting about June 3 and finishing about August 5th.
The final game of the Fourth Little League District was played at Dresser Street Field between Tri-Community (com- prising Sturbridge, Charlton, Woodstock and Brimfield) and Southbridge. Southbridge was eliminated in this game.
The final Sectional game was held here between Worcester and Tri-Community, Worcester winning.
The All-State (west of Boston) finals were played at Dress- er Street, Pittsfield winning against Shrewsbury; Worcester beating Asebet Valley, and Pittsfield eliminating Worcester in the final game.
All Little League diamonds in this area were inspected be- fore a site for the final play offs was selected and Dresser Street Committee is proud to report that our diamond was selected. This is a credit to our caretakers and maintenance men.
54
All Little League games started at 6:30 p. m. in the regular schedule and all games were described play by play over the loud speaker system.
The Little League program is a credit to the men who or- ganized it, the announcers, umpires, coaches, managers and all who helped to create and continue this enjoyable sport and rec- reational spectacle for our town.
Minor League Baseball
A minor league baseball schedule was conducted at Dresser Street Field during the Summer under the supervision of Lewis A. Kyrios, Director of Summer School Playgrounds Program. This schedule consisted of 48 games starting at 9:00 A. M. and running from June 9, to August 16, and consisted of 60 boys.
The purpose of Minor League was to provide an oppor- tunity for boys below the age of 11 years to play in an organized league. The league provides such boys an opportunity to im- prove their skill and ability so that they may be able to play in the regular Little League in the future. Little League ages are from 8 to 12 years.
This program was a great success from the viewpoint of participation, enthusiasm, play and safety. To appreciate this program one would have to see it in action, talk to the mothers and fathers who attend these games and observe these young Americans at play.
