REPORT OF THE
Selectmen, Overseers of the Poor and Board of Health
Agawam, Mass., February 2, 1918
To the citizens of the Town of Agawam we present our report as follows :-
HIGHWAYS.
We kept within our appropriation this year. Labor and team work was higher, and we could not do as much as we anticipated, although we have done quite a lot of permanent work, such as building new sluices, replanking bridges and building several hundred feet of new railing.
Laid a new culvert in cement at State Line, which we think will take care of spring freshets. As the culvert was washed out several times, we went to the expense of a cement face, which we trust will hold.
Patched and resurfaced all the State Road running from Mittineague to the River Road. Built about three thousand feet of new permanent road. This piece of work was in Agawam Center and at Todd's Curve.
We succeeded in getting the state to go in with the Town, giving two thousand dollars for Elm Street, which we have well under way. Cold and snow coming so early, we had to suspend work, but this will have to be com- pleted in the Spring. The contract was let to the L. C. Fay Company.
We gravelled about a mile on West Street, Feeding Hills; also did quite a lot of gravelling on other streets.
58
Had one bad washout on Springfield Hill, Mittineague, which cost the town several hundred, but it was unavoid- able. There should be a culvert laid there to take care of the sudden freshets.
Springfield Street was resurfaced with gravel twice, and some parts three times. Several hundred feet of the road was given a coat of oil as an experiment. We find travel is so heavy on this street that it is almost impossible to find a surface that will hold. Our recom- mendation would be to do most, if not all, permanent work on this street from now on. We would suggest having the proper authorities take it up with the State Highway Commissioners to see if they will not aid the Town in building a through thoroughfare from where they left off to Agawam Bridge, as the State Road is completed to Feeding Hills Center. This road will have a very heavy traffic from Granville, Southwick and other places, and we feel that they should do a big part in helping to finish this length. We also have another piece of road with which it is impossible to do much, namely, Meadow Street, Agawam. This road should have something done to it quite soon. Would suggest that the worst parts be dug out and a rock bottom foundation laid and covered with sand, so as to be ready for macadam when the time comes, or a heavy coat of cinders would relieve it if they can be secured. We find that cinders work very well on Suffield Street.
Would recommend one new bridge to be built on Perry Street. Think other parts of road are in as good shape as usual. Recommend the work be continued along these lines.
THE TOWN POOR.
We feel that this department is in as good shape as it has been for many years. Have several hundred dol-
59
lars left in the treasury which was not expended this year.
We have succeeded in finding work for some who are able to work and have others in institutions for the poor, where they receive the best of care. Have taken care of all the needy cases brought to our attention, and recom- mend that the work be carried on as heretofore.
BOARD of HEALTH.
We have a small amount left in this department. Think as a rule the town is in a very healthy condition. Have had a very small percentage of contagious diseases. Would suggest that when cases of contagious diseases develop the Board of Health be promptly notified, so as to avoid adverse criticism, as in some instances the Board of Health did not get in touch with contagious cases as soon as desirable on account of this lack of notification, and because in many instances doctors have sent the notification by mail, causing an unnecessary. delay.
SEWER DEPARTMENT.
The Sewer Department finished the contract left over from last Fall and have a small amount left from the $27,000.00 worth of bonds sold for that work. We feel that the sewer is a great improvement to the Town and think we have a very good system.
Fees for entering amounted to over a thousand dol- lars this year, which went to help pay the Town debt and interest. There should be an appropriation made for the maintenance of this department.
POLICE WORK.
Have tried to keep a clean, moral atmosphere in the Town with the men elected, and also by appointing several others. Have had a man on duty at Feeding Hills
60
and two on River Road during the summer months. Mr. Conners has been attending to duty in all parts of the Town, with marked success.
By licensing jitneys we have received $645.00 and about $500.00 from Police Court cases, which amounts were turned in for the Town dept and interest.
OTHER DEPARTMENTS.
We are under our appropriation in all departments except for Town officers. Most of this was due to the fight made to keep the excise and corporation tax, which amounted to $5,235.58 this year, and also in trying to keep the trolly fare zones as they stand and not let our Town go in as a ten-cent zone. As it is, the towns have succeeded in having the Commissioners hold off until the first of next March before giving their decision. It took a great many days to do this, and was quite expensive, as it necessitated the hiring of counsel, and we felt that one of the Board, and sometimes all of us, should attend the hearings, which were held in Boston.
We recommend that several new light extensions be made, if the Agawam Electric Light Company can secure the material necessary for the work. We have ordered several extensions to be made this year, but the work has not been completed because the Electric Light Company could not secure the material, all of which is now ordered through the Government.
We hereby attach the report of the Hampden County Improvement League, for which the Town appropriated $300.00 :-
Two hundred and sixty-seven boys and girls enrolled in the several projects which were presented to them in their schools. The following number completed their work and actually made some definite progress in the thing which they undertook :-
61
7
Gardening 80
Corn and potato growing 14
Poultry raising
Pig 6
74
Canning 32
Sewing and bread making 17
Permanent clubs have been organized in all of the schools of the Town, where boys and girls meet once a month, to consider and discuss those projects in which they are interested and carry on regular meetings under their own management.
Miss Theresa Custer organized a Home Economic Club in Feeding Hills with seventeen members, who made fifty-nine garments during the three months contest. The Canning Club was under the supervision of Miss Edith Meade, who received $100.00 during the summer for that purpose, putting in three days a week from June 15th until September 15th. Over 600 quarts of fruits and vegetables were put up by the boys and girls in Aga- wam this first year in which they learned how to can.
The value of garden and field crops raised by the boys and girls of Agawam was $1,540.00.
The value of pork raised by the Pig Club members was $2,220.00.
Respectfully submitted,
(Signed) ROBERT. P TRASK. County Club Leader.
