SELECTMEN'S REPORT
To the Citizens of the Town of Southbridge:
The Board of Selectmen met and organized March 10, 1958. Raymond J. Lataille was named Chairman, Dr. Armand O. De- Grenier was chosen Clerk and Peter Graf served as third mem- ber. Mrs. Doris Nolan was appointed Assistant Clerk.
Many special meetings were held in connection with the new Armory. This particular problem was resolved with the acquisition of the Morris Street site. Work to begin as soon as weather permits this Spring to complete the Armory. Two articles in this year's (1959) annual town meeting warrant will, if voted upon favorably, provide for the acceptance and con- struction of Armory Lane thereby providing an excellent ac- cess and egress for the new Armory.
Free municipal parking at the Main and Goddard Streets site has continued through the year and has been requested in the annual town warrant for 1959. This Board is of the opinion that these parking facilities have been of tremendous value to both the merchants and the general public.
The Annual Town Meeting of 1958 was again held at the Strand Theater and because of the many favorable comments, this Board has once more called the 1959 meeting to be held at the Theater with any over-flow attendance to be seated at Town Hall. An inter-communication system will again be used. Since this is a large warrant and contains many import- ant issues the Board of Selectmen urges all registered voters to attend.
The resignation of Fire Chief Oswald J. Meunier was ac- cepted with regret. The Board was present at a testimonial held for the former Chief in recognition of his thirty-eight years of service to the Town of Southbridge. On October 13th the Board appointed Alva J. Gregoire to succeed as Fire Chief. Mr. Gregoire, a fire fighter for many years, is well qualified for the position and comes well recommended.
New and improved street lighting for the down town area was approved by the Board and were installed by the Worces- ter County Electric Co. A program of further improvement is under advisement at the present time pending allocation of funds for the purpose at the annual town meeting.
During the past year, two major pieces of heavy equipment were acquired by the Highway Department, namely, a new snow loader, bought in January and a new Hough Payloader, during the month of April. The Board feels these additions have contributed greatly to the efficiency of the Highway Depart- ment and were, indeed, wise investments.
For this first time in the history of the Town of Southbridge
16
the Town Hall was decorated to celebrate the Yuletide season. Many complimentary calls were received at this office and this Board feels that the citizens of Southbridge, as a whole, ap- proved.
In accordance with Article #13 of the Special Town Meet- ing of December 16, 1957, the Town of Southbridge acquired a public Address system and this Board wishes to thank Harvey Wells Electronics Co. for their cooperation in installing the sys- tem in the Town Hall.
Detailed account of receipts and disbursements will be found and are a part of the report of the Town Accountant.

Respectfully submitted, RAYMOND J. LATAILLE ARMAND O. DeGRENIER PETER GRAF Board of Selectmen
