REPORT OF THE Selectmen, Overseers of the Poor and Board of Health


Town of Agawam, Massachusetts Year ending December 31st, 1920


We close the books of the town for the year just ended with the following report and recommendations :


HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT


We kept within our appropriation on highways. The proper conduct of the Highway Department is one of the biggest problems of the town and one that requires constant attention and vigilance on the part of those in charge of this work. We feel that the past year has been one of the most trying the town has ever experienced in the conduct of road work. During the early part of the season it was im- possible to secure sufficient help at reasonable wages to do the work. The cost of cinders necessary for road work has been prohibitive. The town gravel pits are practically exhausted within reasonable team hauling distance and the hiring of auto trucks for this purpose was too expensive. We con- tracted with Luchine & Son to resurface a strip of road in Feeding Hills Center which was done in proper shape. Re- cently the road where this work was done has commenced to loosen up. We consulted with State engineer Johnson con- cerning this and he states that there is no fault in the work but that the loosening up of the road is caused by the poor


46


quality of tar used and continuous wet weather. He states that his department has had this same experience on road work and recommends the application of another coat of tar and that the road be rolled down as soon as the weather per- mits. The heavy shower in August last washed out three bridges and created many gullies and holes. It took over $3000.00 of our appropriation to put the roads in passable condition after this shower.


The state contributed $10,000.00 for road work which, with a like amount from the town, was practically all spent on Springfield Street under the supervision of the State en- gineers. We have reasonable assurance that the State will assist during the coming year in building the road through to the Agawam bridge which we recommend.


The Board recommends that the town purchase a large auto truck and that a good foreman be hired to run the truck all through the season. This equipment will enable us to haul gravel from outside pits too far away for team work and deliver material to all parts of the town at a low cost. Cinders might also be purchased in carload lots to good advantage.


TOWN POOR DEPARTMENT


We were obliged to spend more than our alloted amount in this department on account of the high cost of all supplies. The death of two heads of families has added quite a burden to this department. One family so bereft consists of a mother and five small children and another of a mother and four small children. In addition to this we had several other cases where relief was necessary. We will have to recommend a larger appropriation for this department for the coming year. In this connection we wish to state that any donations of usable cast-off clothing will be gladly received and put to good use.


47


BOARD OF HEALTH


We are within the appropriation in this department. Outside of the regular expenditures for the Tuberculosis Hos- . pital, which the town has to help maintain, very little was spent. We were fortunate in having only a very few cases of contagious disease this last year. The community nurse was of assistance in the health and poor department. She made a great many school and family calls while in the service of the town. She resigned November 1st to take up other duties. The amount of the appropriation left for this purpose for the balance of the year was not sufficient to secure the services of another nurse and being uncertain about the appropriation for this purpose for the coming year the Board has not filled the vacancy.


TOWN OFFICE.


The town office appropriation was not sufficient to meet the expenses of this department. This was due to additional town counsel fees which service was required on account of bridge and street railway hearings. In addition to this there was an increased expense in the animal inspection depart- ment and on the part of the sealer of weights and measures, there was also an additional expense on account of the reg- istering of women voters. On account of other bridge hear- ings coming up we have not decided on the amount of ap- propriation to recommend for this department for the coming year. We have instructed our town counsel to take all possible measures to relieve the town of any further new bridge expense. We feel that if Holyoke and Westfield are relieved of this expense the town of Agawam should be treated likewise.


All other departments are about in line with appropria- tions. Jitneys were regulated in the Riverside Park traffic and fees collected brought the town $1250.00 of which $500.00 was voted to the use of the town office department.


48


-


There have been a few more street lights added at differ- ent points in the town and a slightly larger appropriation for this purpose will have to be made this year. The Agawam Electric Light Co., has drawn up and presented a contract to be signed by the town authorities whereby they agree to fur- nish street lights at $15.00 per light per year for the coming five years. This contract will be brought up in the next town meeting.


Selectmen were appointed with the School Committee to bring before the town recommendations in regard to an in- crease in school room. Several meetings have been held and it has been decided that it is absolutely necessary that action be taken to insure more school room without further delay. The committee has been working along on the same economical basis as has been followed in the past. We have asked for competitive plans for a new high school and also have some of the committee looking up portable school rooms and other accommodations. The result of their efforts in this direction will be brought before you at the coming town meeting.
