Your Finance Board has been obliged to transfer a much larger proportion of the Reserve Account this year than usual. The general increase in prices coupled with anticipated shortage of materials brought about by the Defense program has made it seem advisable to acquire certain surplus material to meet future needs, and a change in statute necessitated payment of all obligations incurred within the calendar year.


In making its recommendations for the coming year, the Board has interviewed the representatives of the various de- partments of the town and has endeavored to pursue a con- servative policy in keeping with the existing emergency without curtailment of any of the essential services of the town.

With an increased appropriation this year greater progress was made in the repair and safety of the town highway trees. Three major projects were accomplished.


A spray program was started at a cost of $50.00. One hundred large elms along Main Street from the Boston Road to Monson Road, and along Springfield Street to Stony Hill Road were sprayed for Elm Leaf Beetle, which has been the cause of our elm trees losing their foliage early in the season.


On the week of August 18 all large trees along Main Street from the Boston Road to Monson Road, and along Springfield Street to Stony Hill Road were trimmed by the Northern Tree Expert Company by expert tree surgeons. Many hazardous limbs and hanging tips were removed and other trees shaped up.


On November 6 twenty-five 16 foot high Rock Maples were purchased from the Adams Nursery Company. Many


84


of these have been planted to replace trees set out by the Com- munity Association which died from the dry season which immediately followed their planting, two years ago.


Also during the year trees were trimmed with local help along Main Street, Burleigh Road, Tinkham Road, Springfield Street, Stony Hill Road. Twenty dead trees were removed during the year.

Report of Water Commissioners


For some time past it has been evident that the voters of the town have not had a clear understanding of why the expenses of the water department vary from year to year. The purpose of this report is to try to give everyone a clear picture of the expenditures of our department. To do this, we will divide expenses into two groups. First, the expenses which are actually spent for maintenance of the department. This means the money required to run the department if no new installations or extensions are made to the present system. In general, these costs include such items as reading meters, quart- erly bills, care of hydrants, checking gates on lines, superin- tendent's, clerk's and Commissioner's salaries, postage, printing costs, cleaning or thawing services, etc. Also, in this group, is the tax to the Town of Ludlow on that part of our system which lies in Ludlow.


These are all definite expenses for which there is no finan- cial return to the department.


The second group contains costs of material, house in- stallations and private street extensions for which no special appropriations have been made. Thus, although the expenses in this group are taken from the department appropriation when the installations are made, after completion of each installation the bill is paid by the owner of such installation and the money returned to the town's general fund. The water purchased from the City of Springfield also comes under this heading.


In short, what we aim to show is that all costs of private street extensions and house installations are money advanced to make such installations and at the completion of each the town is reimbursed in full. Therefor, in our request for the 1942 appropriation, we are dividing the request into two groups.


Group 1. Maintenance


$1,425.00


Town of Ludlow, taxes


375.00


$1,800.00


Group 2. House installations

sions


$2,400.00

City of Springfield, water


1,800.00


$4,200.00


$6,000.00


The water department has been called upon during the past year to make forty-two house installations as well as two private street extensions. The completion of the 8-in. main on Springfield Street to the Springfield line was the major project of the year.


The Board lost one member during the year when Mr. G. B. Owens moved to Ludlow, and we would like to make· known here that Mr. Owens refused to accept compensation for the part of the year which he served on the Board.
