REPORT OF THE Selectmen, Board of Public Wel- fare and Board of Health


HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT


The year of 1930 has seen quite a lot of improvements on our highways.


School street has been finished, which makes a nice road the entire length of this street.


Silver Street was finished with the cooperation of the State and County, which makes a hard road from Agawam Center up to Shoemaker Lane.


South Westfield street was started at the State Line with the cooperation of the State and County and one and three-quarters miles of road were built for $42,000.00. The State Highway Department and Hampden County are ready to cooperate with us in continuing this road through Feeding Hills to the West- field line which we strongly recommend as this will make a through route running north and south through the western part of the Town.


In our general highway department Mr. Judson G. Black- man has had charge of the work and has done a very efficient job.


Elm street has been resurfaced.


Two new trucks were bought last spring and if the other old one can be traded in this spring it will make us a fleet of three good trucks. Two new snowplows were bought to go on the new trucks and have given good account of themselves in the snow we have had.so far.


One and one half cars of calcium chloride was used on the dirt roads.


58


Some rock has been buried, small bridges replaced and some roads surfaced with cinders and gravel.


We have always tried to keep all of our streets in as passable condition as can be expected with the money we have had to do it with.


WELFARE DEPARTMENT


Owing to the unemployment situation, many families that have always been self-supporting are being compelled to apply to this department for assistance. We have placed men in posi- tions whenever it was possible to do so, and have created jobs to relieve unemployment to quite an extent. Sewer work, brush cutting, painting and road work furnished work through the summer and early fall, but with the coming of cold weather outside work was stopped and many have found it necessary to apply for aid to carry them along temporarily.
