Thomas Merrick settled in West Springfield and the section he developed is still known by his name. Merrick Park adjoining Springfield City Library is a memorial to a member of the family. Receives Grant The original grant to Rev. Noah Merrick in Wilbraham was about a square mile and what was left of it in recent years hecame the Merrick farm. This was incorporated in 1943 by descendants as Merrick Associates, and a share of the interests eventually passed to Miss Merrick.
She was in her 90s when she died. Her memories included a meeting with Abraham Lincoln. Mrs. Merrick's share of the farm was bequeathed to Llewelyn Seavey Merrick, son of her nephew, Charles L. Merrick, Wilbraham sealer of weights and measures, who now operates the farm.

Executive Trainee Lack Cited at AIC Exercises A critical shortage of young trained men in business wanting to advance to top executive positions, was cited last night by the president of C. F. Church Manufacturing Co.
Gives Reasons Richard Witherell, speaking at the annual dinner of master of business administration graduates at American International College, said too many "level out" after reaching the middle bracket position and stay there. Among reasons he gave for the leveling off were fear, satisfaction. with what the individual is currently doing and personal problems. Witherell, who has been Church Co. president for 20 years, noted that if the definition of an executive was taken literally, everyone from a sweeper up would fall in that category as each job has some degree of responsibility.
He defined an executive as someone able to plan, organize, administrate, take care of financial matters and supervise the staffing of personnel. He cited job description, a sound executive salary plan and performance reviews of each executive, as means of attracting men to continue their quest for top-level positions.

Tax Collection Fee Boost May Benefit City Coffers A new state law boosting for demands and warrants to delinquent taxpayers could mean an additional $13,000 annually to the city, City Collector James J.

In recent years, delinquency fees have added about $8800 to the city's general fund. Murphy estimated if the number of delinquent taxpayers remains about the same, the city will get some $22.400 in fees under the new schedule. However, Murphy pointed out one effect of the higher fees may be a reduction in the number of delinquents. Under the new schedule, fees for demands will go from 35 cents to $1. Fees for issuance delivery of warrants to the deputy sheriff will go up from cents to $1 and the fee for serving, warrants will jump from If the person does not pay taxes after receiving the demand and a warrant is issued, it will cost him a total of $4.

Contending that the reputation "as well as the personal integrity of all the parties involved in this matter is dependent upon facts which are established in the proposed hearing," Hurley said everyone involved should be allowed, "either in person or by counsel," to examine witnesses. Hurley said he had conferred with many attorneys who supported his position.

Letendre included in the estimates costs for land takings, removal of buildings. construction of abutments and. paving. The commissioners asked Letendre whether residents of the area had been asked about the proposals. Letendre said he wanted the commission's approval first.
