Gina, as she is fondly known, has been a prominent municipal official in Monson for more than thirty-three (33) years. During her tenure as town manager, many major improvements were com- pleted such as closing the landfill, permitting the new transfer station, implement- ing an aggressive road construction and resurfacing plan, adoption of a Compre- hensive Plan, Land Use Ordinance and Downtown Revitalization Plan. Major im- provements for the Monson Utilities District included the Chapin Avenue waterline and a new Water Street Pump Station and leach field. A life long resident of Monson, Gina attended Monson Academy and Beal College. March 6, 1971, she married Gordon “Mike” A. Reed. They raised two daughters; Amy and Glenda and are now the proud grandparents of Grace and Ethan! In her letter of resignation, Gina stated, “I look back on my tenure as Town Manager (twelve years) with a great sense of pride and accomplishment, lam proud of my hometown and would like to personally thank the Selectmen for giving me the opportunity to serve this wonderful little town and hope my efforts of the past will be worth the long hours invested”. To that we respond; your efforts certainly are worth the investment, Gina! We are a better community for having had your years of service and we thank you for your self-less efforts to make our little town a wonderful place to live! We, the Citizens of Monson, wish you all the very best in the years to come and say: THANK YOU, GINA!! 3 INDEX Introduction Dates to Remember 2 Dedication 3 Index 4 Letter of Transmittal 5 In Memory 6-8 Resolve 9 Notice to Taxpayers 10 Town Officers 11 Representatives to Legislature 14 Town Manager’s Report 16 Amounts Raised by Town in 2004 19 Assessor’s Report 20 Tax Collector’s Report 22 Town Clerk’s Report 30 Treasurer’s Report 32 Operating Accounts 37 Fire Chief’s Report 51 Librarian’s Report 52 Monson Utilities District Report 53 Animal Control Officer Report 55 Code Enforcement Report 56 Recreation Committee Report 57 Transfer Station Report 58 Planning Board 59 Historical Society Report 60 Mayo Regional H.A.D. 4 Report 61 Piscataquis County Economic Development Council 62 Auditor’s Report 64 Capital Improvement Plan 72 Proposed Funding 73 Road Plan 74 Municipal Officers Report 75 Annual Warrant 77 4 Letter of Transmittal February 25, 2005 To the Board of Selectmen and Citizens of Monson: A financial and general activities summary of your town government for the year 2004-2005 is contained in the following Annual Report and is reported in compliance with GASB Statement No.34 The Town ended the fiscal year; January 31, 2005, with a surplus of One-hun- dred eighty-three thousand, two hundred ninety-six dollars ($183,296), which is available to help meet present and future needs of the town.

He served as a member of the Board of Selectmen from 1960 to 1972 and served as the town’s Surveyor of Logs, Lumber Wood and Bark for many years. Hollis was an active member of the American Legion and the Monson Historical Society. He was a self-employed woods contractor and logger and a member of SWOAM (Small Woodlot Owner’s Association). In 1967 Hollis was a substitute Rural Letter Carrier for the United States Postal Service (Guilford) and. in 1980, became a full-time carrier until his retirement in 1995.

The importance of the railroad system of Maine, as a means of developing the resources of the State, is becoming more apparent every year. By reason of the facilities it affords, mineral wealth is being uncovered, manufacturers are utiliz­ ing the abundant water powers, and our products are afforded ready markets; and, although in ·obtaining these facilities in some localities, heavy burdens have been assumed by cities and towns, still we think the benefit derived will fully com­ pensate them in the end. We do not, however, wish to be understood as favoring the principle of towns and cities aiding in the construction of railroads. The benefit to be derived by a large portion of the inhabitants of a town, is too remote to justify it in most instances. We again have the pleasure of congratulating the public, and the several railroad corporations operating roads in the State, on the remarkable exemption from any serious casualties during the year.

Here will be included page references to the frequently huge number of small short-line roads that usually wound up by being “taken in” to the larger and expending Class II and I roads. Some of these files, such as the New York Central or the Pennsylvania Railroad are very big themselves. Michigan, Wisconsin, Oregon, and Washington are large because the many lumber railroads have been extensively studied out.
