REPORT OF Selectmen and Overseers of Poor
To the Citizens of Agawam :-
Your Board of Selectmen and Overseers of the Poor present to you their annual report.
We have made no particular change in the different depart- ments which we have to look after. Our work will speak for itself whether or not it is to your satisfaction.
In the Pauper Department we have tried to give all the necessary aid and keep within the appropriation. It has seemed necessary to have persons aided somewhat scattered, but we feel that we have kept expenses lower by doing so. We believe that the prospect of more persons needing aid in the future is true. We think that the persons who could be taken to the Town Almshouse, if it were open, are being kept cheaper where they are. We would like you to instruct your incoming Board of Overseers as to selling the personal and real estate property at the Town Farm.
HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT.
We have to say that we have exceeded your appropriation somewhat. We find that the expense of material in Agawam district is very costly owing to distance of drawing it.
We were not able to get the use of a steam roller, so have laid no macadam road.
We want to call your attention to the cost of building anew the so-called Whitman bridge, if the State will agree to extend the State road to the State line; also the one at the upper end of
52
the street in Feeding Hills and two others that will have to be built anew soon. There are some others in the nature of large culverts that are in bad condition. At Adams Street we found that the money appropriated was not quite enough to build the bridge, and, if built, could not be used until more money was available for the filling necessary.
We would advise the Town, if it is to build any amount of macadam roads, to consider the purchase of a steam roller, so that it can have it to use when wanted.
