Report of Selectmen and Board of Public Welfare


The advent of the year 1936 sounds the clarion for the occasion when the narration of procedure and accomplishment for 1935 is resultantly deliverable. For a period, now so long existant that it has almost seemed to become stationary in rank, the welfare problem commands first consideration. During the year the Board has been a defending litigant in two instances where municipalities have instituted legal actions to collect moneys expended for the support of persons whom they alleged to have settlements in Wilbraham. In one of the actions, City of Springfield v. Inhabitants of Wilbraham, the amount expended for the support of the persons whose settlement was alleged to be in Wilbraham had already ap- proached three thousand dollars. The facts in this case were agreed and the case was decided on a question of law in favor of the Town. If this had not been the result the Town of Wilbraham would not only be liable for the three thousand dollars already expended but also for the future support of this family for the next five years. The case of the City of Worcester v. Inhabitants of Wilbraham was also disposed of favorably to the town. Knowledge of the settlement law and its inter- pretations, with timely action in respect to denials is absolutely essential to proper administration of this work.


A glance at the analysis of Welfare disbursements dis- closes that of the total expenditure of $10,445.40, the sum of $3,985.20 was paid out for Wilbraham settled cases no longer resident in town. Of the $6,460.20 actually expended in Wil- braham, under the direction of the local Board, $2,548.10 was chargeable to other cities and towns and the Common- wealth.


In highway accomplishments the year 1935 saw the com- pletion of the Chapter 90 construction in north Stony Hill Road, Tinkham Road, and the institution of Chapter 90 construction on Glendale Road. The Board have already appeared before both the Department of Public Works and the Commissioners of Hampden County and made due applica- tion for continuance of Glendale Road construction for 1936.


12


The contribution of $2,500.00 toward this objective by this town is the only Chapter 90 recommendation that the Board is ready to make at this time. On December 1, 1935, a long sought attainment was accomplished when Mr. Phelps, the superintendent of highways, reported that 21.6 miles of our total 43 miles of public streets were hard surfaced in various forms. We have now progressed beyond the halfway mark.


During 1935 the Town did not find it necessary to borrow at any time in anticipation of taxes and the interest appropria- tion of $1,000.00 remains intact. The singularness of this almost unparalleled situation is further emphasized when it is noted that the Town has not borrowed in anticipation of revenue since April, 1934. We believe this situation almost unprecedented in Wilbraham, at least for several decades. There are many factors which have helped to make this possible, not by any means the least of which is the mutuality of en- deavor existing between the Tax Collector and the tax payers. Mr. Gilbert and the tax payers are worthy of congratulatory mention. This accumulation of funds is the result of relentless effort and should be diminished in a prudent manner only. The Board is ready to recommend, after consultation with the Town Finance Board and the State Director of Accounts, that a limited number of appropriations for 1936 be taken from that source and not raised by taxation, but is steadfastly committed to the belief that the surplus should not be dimin- ished in any sweeping manner. The future policy of Federal Unemployment Relief is at present determined until June 30, 1936 only, and should that relief completely end without a substantial increase in private employment, a reversal in the Town Balance Sheet is a possibility far from remote.


One of the most epochal events of 1935 has been the sale by the Ludlow Manufacturing Associates of their residential holdings in the north western part of the Town. What to anticipate from this action is a matter for puzzling conjecture. We dread to think that there is any possibility of their removal to another locality, but consideration of that possibility must be given a place in the mind of everyone who ponders seriously on the immediate future of the town. We congratulate the new individual owners of these properties and anticipate their co- operation in tracking down deception in their neighborhood or in any other that effects the efficient economical administra- tion of Wilbraham.


13


Our people and our industries have accorded the Town support in a manner whole heartedly rendered and to the populace individually and to the Collins Manufacturing Com- pany and the Ludlow Manufacturing Associates we extend sincere appreciation.


An article recently published under the signature of Theodore N. Waddell, now and for many years the Director of Accounts in the State Department of Corporations and Taxation is prefaced as follows: "The administration of the many governmental functions that have become a part of our very being as a community in ordinary times called for the giving of much of the time of the Selectmen especially, as a contribution to the government, for this board is not looked upon as a paid board but rather lives on its reputation as "Town Fathers", and fathers are expected to do everything without thought of monetary reward. However, the work and responsibility of our administrative officers have grown to such an extent that it is impossible to make a comparison with requirements of twenty-five years ago. The services to which towns have been accustomed cannot be set aside as we take on new services but rather they must be modified and worked into the new fabric so that we may carry on the essential activities of government without unnecessarily burdening the tax payer or destroying government itself."


This statement, uttered by one who has been charged with the superintendence of the financial transactions of the cities and towns for so long, summarizes the situation adeptly. Mul- titudinous, even in a town as financially sound as Wilbraham, are the problems encountered in each successive year. It should be definitely realized that a substantial reduction in tax rates cannot be made without making a decrease in public service. One who would promise to reduce taxes and maintain the same standard of service would attempt to compromise with impossibility even though he were well intentioned in his promise. Only the sincerity of the citizenry and the officials mutually presented can create, maintain, and afford a well administered town government.


Faithfully yours, FRED W. GREEN, GEORGE E. MURPHY, JR., W. H. McGUIRE,


Selectmen of Wilbraham.

LOCAL EMERGENCY RELIEF ADMINISTRATION


The types of projects operated in Wilbraham in 1935 were quite diversified in nature and locale. During the eleven months that E. R. A. operated in 1935 there has been about one hundred and thirty different men who have been at one time or another employed. The average monthly payroll has approximated about eighty men. The amount of Federal dis- bursements to local workers under E. R. A. has been $31,710.95, and the cost to the Town for trucking, material and supplies has been $4,919.31.


The figures for W. P. A. disbursements for December are not presented for they did not pass through this office, being administered in the W. P. A. regional office for Western Mass- achusetts in Springfield, but I believe they were sufficiently large to bring the Federal disbursements for the year in Wilbra- ham to over $32,000.00. An itemized statement of expenditure will be found at the end of this report.


All local E. R. A. offices in Massachusetts were closed December 15, 1935, when the Works Progress Administration took over the supervision of Federal Relief works. Assignment of personnel is now made from the Regional Office which serves the four western counties at 1597 Main Street, Springfield. Only in the selection of foremen have the local officials any duty or power. Unfortunately at this writing the W. P. A. payroll set up has not yet functioned without considerable delay, which was not present in E. R. A. but steps have been taken to expedite payroll procedure which we believe will remedy affairs satisfactorily.


I would like to take the opportunity to point out, because of confusion in the minds of some, that the sidewalk construc- tion at Butler Hill now operating is not within local or W. P. A. control but is a State Highway project. We have been assured that Wilbraham will be represented when the force is replen- ished or augmented. Every step has been taken to secure employment for local men there, but except for the future promise, we have not succeeded as yet.


If I have been able to serve the townspeople during my two years as administrator, I regard it as an honor, and if it has been accompanied by any degree of success it is due to the unrestrained support of my colleagues, Mr. Fred W. Green and Mr. W. H. McGuire, to my assistants at the office, Miss


15


Helena R. Driscoll and Miss Helen C. Boden, and to each one of the foremen and workers.


Respectfully, GEORGE E. MURPHY, JR., Local Administrator.
