REPORT OF Selectmen, Overseers of the Poor and Board of Health
In closing our books for the year 1924 we find that we are well within our total appropriations, while of course it has been unavoidable to run over a little in some departments.
BOARD OF HEALTH
It was necessary to spend a large sum of money in this de- partment owing to the tuberculosis cases which we have to sup- port in the State Hospitals. Quite an appropriation will be nec- essary in this department the coming year because the State has raised the rates from $10.50 to $12.00 per week.
TOWN POOR
We have stayed well within our appropriation this year ow- ing to two large families that we have almost wholly supported in the past becoming practically self-supporting.
POLICE
During the year that has passed, under the supervision of Chief E. S. Connors up to the time of his resignation the de- partment has made 151 arrests and fines to the amount of $1,522.50 were collected.
The State Constabulary was ever ready to assist our depart- ment and answer calls coming direct from other sources and the co-operation shown by them was splendid.
41
TOWN OFFICE
Practically no change has been made in our Town Officers the past year, E. U. Leonard has looked after the Sealing of Weights and Measures under contract which has worked out very satisfactorily. James H. Clark has looked after the animal and slaughter house inspection in a satisfactory manner.
Through an agreement with the Water Department and the Selectmen, H. P. Worden has been employed steadily in the Town Clerk's office and all the clerical work is done there which we think is the proper way.
During the year the Town Auditor, Frederick R. Young, resigned his position and James C. Atwater was appointed by the Selectmen to fill the vacancy.
TOWN BUILDINGS
A new slate roof was put on the Feeding Hills Town Hall which was very much needed, and several of the smaller school houses were painted. All the slate roofs at Agawam and North Agawam were patched.
We feel that quite an appropriation should be made in this department as there are a good many buildings to look after and considerable work needs doing.
HIGHWAYS
Our roads have been looked after by Chas. H. Wyman as in former years and we feel that he did very well considering weather conditions and what we had to do with. We feel that this de- partment should be gradually brought up to date by the purchase of some new equipment each year, as our roads are becoming more and more of a problem owing to the increased travel and de- mands made on our highways.
Our policy has been to keep our main highways in as good repair as possible which has cost us a large share of our appropria- tion, but if we let those go to pieces it is impossible to ever get them back into first class condition.
Inspection of certain dirt roads show a condition in some places which should be corrected. People are plowing out into the highways in many places close to the wheel-tracks, thus filling up the drain ditches and causing water to settle in the middle of the road.
42
We would have liked very much to have cindered and grav- elled more roads and this should be possible another year if Main Street is rebuilt, as this road cost us a lot of money to keep pass- able.
About thirty safety signs were posted at street intersections and public schools. The road at the intersection of Walnut and Springfield Streets was widened about ten feet and a new fence was erected which relieved a dangerous condition.
We strongly recommend finishing Main Street this year as it is half done now and the State and County are ready to finish it with our co-operation early this year.
