Report of Selectmen and Board of Public Welfare
To the People of Wilbraham :
With the passing of the year 1931 into history and the arrival of the time when the people are called upon to consider the policies and expenditures for the year 1932, your Selectmen feel a conscientious duty to convey to you a message to which we kindly ask your most earn- est attention.
The year 1931 has found Wilbraham in a situation which should receive the serious consideration of all our people.
Unemployment, so prevalently the cause of the most serious problem of so many other cities and towns has also visited us to a degree far exceeding that which it has ever done before. At a time when farm products of all kinds are able to command but the lowest prices, when the standard of wages has greatly declined, when employment in so many instances is irregular, and unemployment so general, unless we give thorough and serious thought to the times and the situation we may find ourselves with a tax rate far exceeding even the present one.
In order to prevent any further imposition of obliga- tion upon our tax payers at a time like the present, we hereby call upon the voters of the town to carefully con-
7
sider the report of the Finance Committee who have made a thorough and extensive program of study regarding the current situation.
Wilbraham is solvent, healthy and growing. Nothing can impair the stability, health and growth of our town so quickly, so destructively, and so certainly as a con- stantly increasing tax rate.
The period thru which we are passing may soon be over or it may last for several years. There is nothing definitely known as to the length or duration of it. We feel, in all events, that the town should prepare now care- fully and cautiously.
The needy ones in our midst must be provided for. That is the first and most solemn duty. Money spent for this purpose cannot be spent for some other purpose also. Unless the extra amounts spent for relief may be saved on other appropriations the matter arrives at its own con- clusion. A much higher tax rate will be made necessary.
We therefore appeal to you to do your duty to the Town and to yourselves and we assert that in our judg- ment if there is any expenditure or appropriation that can possibly be postponed, reduced, or dispensed with, and not cause actual hardships and suffering the time to do so is here and the opportunity now presents itself.
Faithfully yours,
W. H. McGUIRE FRED W. GREEN GEORGE E. MURPHY, JR. Selectmen of Wilbraham

In the latter part of the year 1931, in the month of October, the Board of Public Welfare instituted the first public work program for persons being aided by public re- lief which it has ever attempted. Although we were plentifully supplied with labor the problem was an acute one in regard to where and how the workers were to be employed.
There were, of course, innumerable services which might be performed in the town's interest if labor only were necessary. However, material, tools, trucking and supervision are necessary requisites to every employment project. Expenditures of this nature are of course not allowed to be paid from the public welfare appropriation even if the amounts could be spared.
However, thru the co-operation of the cemetery com- missioners we were able to make use of the labor of most of the able bodied men on the welfare rolls for about one month. Adams Cemetery, the so called "old section" was completely cleaned up, graded, and seeded. The loam, seed and supervision, as well as the transportation of the workers was paid for by the available income from the Bruuer trust fund. Eighteen hundred and thirty seven hours of labor were expended on the project by workers who were being aided by the welfare department.
Thru the generous co-operation of Tree Warden, Lewis A. Bryant, we were able next to place a force of men at work cleaning our road sides of brush.
Men from the welfare department furnished twenty- one hundred and forty eight hours of labor on this project. The transportation and supervision were paid for from the tree warden's appropriation. In connection with this project it might be mentioned that a considerable quan- tity of firewood was made available to some of the needy families.
15
By working in conjunction with the forest warden, we were able to secure from welfare cases four hundred and twenty-eight hours of labor spent in burning the road side brush.
In all these instances the workers received no com- pensation in money. They merely were working out, in some degree at least, the aid furnished them by the town.
While there were many obstacles to overcome, prob- lems to solve, and minor difficulties to correct, we feel that in spite of the novelty and newness of the project we have taken a step in aiding both the town and the re- cipients of the relief. We believe that this venture has aided the town to get something tangible in return and has aided the welfare beneficiary to retain his self respect. In almost every instance we have found complete readi- ness and eagerness to do something in return for aid.
We planned to undertake to do in the East Wilbra- ham cemetery similar work to that which was performed at the Adams Cemetery. However, we were not able to do so because of the difficulty of securing loam nearby, and the lateness of the season. It may be possible to un- dertake East Wilbraham however, in 1932, if the welfare rolls are crowded to an extent similar to what they have been in 1931.
The aggregate figures follow :
551 5/8 man working days furnished (8 hours each) at $2.50 each allowed.
Value of labor supplied, $1,379.06.
Faithfully yours,
W. H. McGUIRE FRED W. GREEN GEORGE E. MURPHY, JR. Board of Public Welfare
