DATE : January 13, 1961
This is the first of a l)r ojecterl sel'i.e~ of Annual re­ ports. in tended to increase u nderstanding of the proper conduct of Town Meetings.
A state law passed in 1960 changed the conduct of Elections. im:lud ing a Town Election, which is actual­ ly part of the Tovm Meeting. Supervi sion was assigned to an Election Warden and his Deputy, both appointed 1.;y the Seiectm,en, Counting of ballots prior to the b P. M. clos ing of the polls was prohibited. This ru ling v;a" made to preve llt improper di::;dooure of early ballot­ t'ounts which migh t inftuence later voters. The recent r l"esidentiai election was the fi rst so conducted. :n Hampden and in some other towns, t he Moderator served u. Election Warden but aside from the experi ence factm-, tLe Warden need not be the Moderator. In this election, t he sel'vices of the Deputy Warden, 1ir. John M. FlylUl, I .~nd the Ins pector;.! and Tellers who produced an impress­ ively quick ('ount of a record vote (94.1 l':. of the l ,2n registered \'oters), !;hould be appreciat ed.
The recent annual meeting of t he Massach llsett~
Moderalors Associa t ion reflected not only t he wide di(­ ft:rences in s ize.<J and attitudes of towns, but a'lso the rapid growth of some towns, which brings many pre­ dam; city dwellers to Town Meet ings for the first time. As a result, the rule of the Moderator and t he general i:ules of conduct have been questioned. The Moderators themselves have looked critically a t their responsibil­ it ies and a t parliamentar y procedures best fitted to con­ fluct ing Town Meet ings.
31
QU I" Hampden By.Laws clarify some points of order und refer to Robert'~ Rules of Order for all others. 1n many ,'espectil, Hobert's Rules are not well suited to Town Meetings and {or this reason, the Massachusetts Moderator's i{nndbook was devised. Even so, there re­ main many Iluestions of procedure for which there is no n :conunended practice.
}'r)t)r of these were d iscussed by the Moderator's ,\.swciat ioll, but the majority favored no standard prac· tice. The' preference was to leave these questions to the .; ucigment of the Moderator, or to the "ancient custom" of the inrlividual town. This desire for flexibility, of l'OU\'Se, int'reases the Moderator';; power.
For example. at lea.st one town requires an unani­ 1r1OUiI Yote to permi t a non-voter to address a meeting. Th.., cogent but unsucces!lful minority of Moderators argued tha t under t his rule, a single uni nformed, bel1i~
yerent or facetious voter could deprive aU other voters of infOlmalion "ibl to the inteUigent analy;;is of <i. given issue. For example. the advice of an architect. safety (!ngineel', legal counsel, planning expert or other nuUtor~
ity could be so denied.
These Moder~tor.;-which induded some out!ltanding legru experts-recommended that only a majority vote lie required to permit a nOll-voter to address a Town Meeting. Of com'$e, it is understood that the Moderator make certain t.h,'lt this privilege is fairl y given to all ,;eriously interes ted parties. You will r ecognize that t his procedure is that which your Moderator has used oftnd will continLle to use in conducting Hampden Town Meetiog!;.

Report of Hoard of Selectmen \V ith the growth of Hampden, the work ll.nd but"­
den of decision~ of the Selectmen become greAter each ~'etlx. Besides holding a meeting each week, preparing for t he Annual Town Meeting and Special Town Meet­ ings held during the yeal" (there were two in Hl60) , each member of the Board is "on call" practicall~' 24 hOllr!> C\ day. Knowing this, it is easy to understanu the origin of the term "Town fathers" as appli ed to the BOlird of Selectmen.
Improvement of our highways ano attendant drain­ age problems continued i ll 1960. Chapter 90 Construction work. wa . ., done on Main Street and Chapiu Road , and Maintenance work on Allen Street, Main Sh-eei ~lnd
South Monson Road.
Chapter 81 money was spent all all i'O<!ds for Ilcce~­ salT tarring and other work. Easements were obtained from Mr. and .Mrs. William Buereau and Mr. and Mrs. Alex Bandoski a nd the old river bed was filled in behind their property 0 11 Main St. Drainage work ",rag done on Crestwood Lane, with easement being obtaj ned from Walter Barbour. A used salt spreader wa s purcha$ed for the Highway Dept. at a cost of only $100.
The installation of the new boiler und immlaliOl1 in the Town House has resulted in a saving in fuel of $451 during the period September, 1959-- ·ApriJ, 1960.
In 31.:cordance with ne\\' State law, the SeJeetm('n appointed for a lenT! of one year a Warden, Deputy Warden, Clerk, Inllpectors and Tellers to serve at all elections. The~e folk!> gave a very good account of themselves, pnl"ticulai-ly at the National Election, whl' l1
3J

94.1 'A of the voters went to the poils. and the <;ount ing of ballots couldn 't start until the polls closed.
In addition to the regular icenses to sell milk, etc., the Selectmen issued 3 permits for undergroun"d ga..<;o­ line storage tan ks, following public hearings.
Several new businesses opened in Hampden this past year, and the Town now has a weekly newspaper \vhiclt reaches a11 homes. Several organizations parti­ cipated in the Monson Bicentennial Celebration in Octo­ ber .
The work of the Selectmen brings them into con­ tact with all Town Committees and officers, and the cooperation and assistance of these official!'! is appre­ ciated.

Report of the
Superintendent of Streets
Much was accomplished throughout the year with Chapter 81 aUotment of $13,300 of which the state allo­ cated $10,650 and the town's share was $2850. Out of this allotment the department spent the money iOl'
scraping dirt roads, drainage where needed, new cu l­ verts, gravelJing, signs, mowing the roadsides and a Int'ge por tion far r esurfacing t he hard surface roads with asphalt a nd a pea stone cover. This sum is di s ­ tributed and Spellt according to plans set up in the spring at a conference with the Selectmen. the Superin­ tendent of Streets and the Supervisor of the Massflchu­ setbJ Department of Public Works. There is neVel' enough money in this account to do all the work OVel"
the town t hnt either the department or the Selectmen would like to see accomplished, but some of this Chapter 81 money was set up for permanent work. With this portion &.50 feet on Mountain Road was gravelled and hardened as well as considerable improvements on Se~· sians Drive. On the latter, the old road had to be excavated for lack of a suitable foundation.
The Chapter 90 Maintenance Fund totalled $4500, made up of $1500 from state, $1500 from the county and $1500 from the town. With thi s, Springfield Road (A llen Street) was completely resurfaced with asphalt and pea stone cover from Ston y Hill Road south to the Hampden Hou~e corner and also Main Street from the junction of Somers and Wilbraham Roads, easterly to the Type-! section near Bl.1 ereal.l's Garage with the ex­ ception of the Type-I su rface at the Point 0 ' Rocks.

Aboul 100 tons of hot mix were used on Main Street to correct the uneven s.urface neat the old mill dllm. At this point the road had become rough and settled Romewhat by the r avages of the 1955 flood and the frost action over the years. This Chapter 90 Maintenance money must be used to maintain the existing ha.rd sur~ face roads constructed under Chapter 90 Construction a llocation. This resurfacing has to be done where the need is gl'eatest for the cunent year with the goal that al! Chapter 90 roads will be resurfaced according to the years in which they have been constructed, with some def­ inite plan of order.
During the past year t he sum of $12,000 was ava il · able for Chapter 90 Construction of which the ~tate
allotted $6000, t~ county $3000 and the town $3000. Per­ mission was granted by t he state to use game of this tota l to alter the drainage !lnd partially fill in the Scan tic River bed near the Bandoski home on Main Street. This was done and a heavy stone embanl.."ment laid a long the new river channel to prevent erosion of Bandoski'a back land. About $2000 was requ ired for this.
The remainder, or $10.000. was $pent on Chapil\ Road. The hard snrface was completed to the Earle Walker place. head walls built on a four-foot cuh;ert pipe and widening, grading and partial gravelling to the state line completed. A heavy bull dozer worked nearly a month literally carving the road out of ledge and heavy boulder formation which characterizes the entire terrain. Blasting was necessary for quite a flb-etch. The year 1961 will see the completion of this l'oad with the hardened surface.
A few of the other accomplishments of the High­ way Department during the year 1960 are the resur­ facing of the parking area. at t he Elementary School, the r elOurfacing of the road to Hampden .Memori a l Park, roofing over the salt bin at the town garage, remo...·ing

llllmcrous large stones which had worked up t.o the surface through frost action on many 01 the secolldu ry roads, a lso restoring the catch basins and assistinG' Wa.lter Bar bou r with drainage on Sessions Drive.
The stormy month of December and lhe blizwrd of t he 12th have depleted the snow and ice removal ap· propl'iation of 1960. This appropriation should be suI· fi cient to cover ,vjn ter conditions but the need becomes gl-eatel' each yea r a ll more streets are added . And. with the changing times, the ciallg of broken tire chains is almost ~l thing of the pa.<:;t, The motorist s of to-dllY (lcll1and ice and snow-free roads.
