SELECTMEN'S REPORT
To the Citizens of Southbridge:
We are pleased to report the progress made in local affairs during the year 1961. In order to avoid duplication of the re- ports in this book we submit this general resumé, for more de- tailed information we refer the reader to the report of the spe- cial committee or department involved.
Buildings completed this year were the Southbridge High School and the Town Garage. There has been considerable improvement in our streets and roads in many sections of the town. This year also marked the completion of the Randolph Street bridge and continued progress in the Westville area flood project. Several offices in the Town Hall have been painted and, in the interests of safety, new electric panels in- stalled in the building.
17
2
Two new committees were formed - a By-Law Commit- tee, and a Redevelopment Authority. The members of these were selected carefully by your Selectmen so that the inter- ests of the general public will best be served.
Among the many hearings which we have held this year were those in regard to water rates (held locally and in Bos- ton). We believe that these resulted in keeping the water rates from a further 30 to 50 percent increase. State legisla- tion which this Board had supported in the past in regard to tuberculosis care may result in an approximate saving to the town of $27,000 annually.
In conclusion we take this opportunity to express thanks to all Town Officers, Boards and Committees who have worked conscientiously for the town. This year we particularly com- mend the Board of Review for their patient hours of work on wage classification schedules.
Through continued cooperative efforts we believe South- bridge will become an ever better place in which to live.
