REPORT OF PARK COMMISSIONERS
To the Citizens of the Town of Plainville :
The Park Commissioners hereby submit their report for the year ending December 31, 1930.
Following the plan, the old barn was removed and a road laid out, a retaining wall built for a children's bath- ing beach, the ball field plowed and reseeded and the grounds in general cleared. When the Library was moved into the old house the Park Commissioners paid $75.00 from the appropriation for the installation of the electric lights.
83
ANNUAL REPORT
A playground instructor and supervisor was employed. Mr. Russell White for 10 weeks and Mr. George Davis for eighteen days.
The Board of Trade set out a permanent Christmas tree, for which we express our most grateful thanks.
The American Legion erected a Memorial Band Stand and we sincerely thank them for the gift.
We also wish to express our appreciation and thanks to the Plainville Athletic Association for the temporary tennis court and making it possible through the 4th of July celebration to erect the bath houses. As the tennis court was used so much the past summer, we hope the time is not far distant when permanent courts will be set out according to the plan.
Mr. Oswin Woodward gave the plants and set out the two flower beds which added so much to the appearance of the grounds.
The Park Commissioners wish that memorial trees and shrubs might be given to help beautify the park.
For the coming year we wish to improve the entrance to the park, construct walks, set out trees and clear the grounds generally. The committee therefor desires an appropriation of $1000.00.

ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF PUBLIC LIBRARY
Since our last annual report the Library has moved from the Town Office Building to the "Old Slack House" on the Community Park grounds. Now that we are finally located in permanent quarters we feel that the time has arrived for steps to be taken toward the re- modeling and beautifying of the building and making it suitable for library purposes. We also feel the need of an up-to-date catalogue and charging system. We hope the townspeople will seriously consider these needs and appropriate sufficient funds in the near future to make the Plainville Library one that the town may be proud of.
The patronage increases each year as the public learns of the valuable and in some cases almost unreplaceable collection of reference books on many subjects -- Me- chanics, Arts, History and Nature studies, besides all the recent fiction that is fit to be read in the family circle. Of course a certain per cent of questionable books will occasionally slip by, as the purchasing committee cannot personally read them all, but when discovered are dis- carded. Old and worn books are still sent to the Veter- an's Hospitals by the aid of The American Legion, where they are much appreciated.
The children are reading the required books for a State Certificate as in former years and will soon have a new list of books as recommended by the Library Commission. Each person's literary taste is of course a matter of his own affair but it would seem that fiction is much more popular with our citizens than more in- structive reading. Our standing in this matter is rather below the State average.
"Books for the buying and a smart array Handsome bindings our eyes invite How can we choose, be it yea or nay, Reading and delving from morn to night Shades of the Masters, Oh tell us right Help us to follow where you have led How can we better the growing blight Too many books that never are read?"

We are making a great effort toward the construction of tar roads in the outside sections of the town. In Shepardville we now have George, Taunton and Messen- ger tarred with four application, and about one mile on Warren Street. For this year we plan to continue War- ren Street to High, Walnut Street taking in all the hill and a section on further end.
Dust layer (Calcium Chloride) was used on various streets on town, which helps to keep the dust down for the abutters and automobilists, and also helps to keep the surface in better condition and adds to the material strength of the road. Messenger Street, on hill, was rolled and given a heavy treatment of Chloride, also a treatment on Shephard. In front of the houses on the outside roads Chloride was used also.
87
ANNUAL REPORT
Bugbee, Brunner, Melcher, Lincoln and Pleasant Streets were scarified and gravelled where necessary, reshaped and rolled and given one or two applications of bituminous material, which we feel has improved the conditions of these roads.
Culverts were laid on Warren, George and Grove Streets, also wooden bridge on Fales Street was replaced with new stringers and three-inch planks.
Snow removal and sanding sidewalks expenses, of course is a complete lost, although the service is invalu- able notwithstanding the fact that we are unable to be at everybody's walk at the same time. It would be a great service if complaints on the conditions of hills during the winter be telephoned as soon as possible, thereby giving quicker service.
Respectfully submitted,
ARCHIE L. WALDEN, Highway Supervisor.
REPORT OF TREE WARDEN
To the Board of Selectmen :
This department has made a very good showing in our shade tree work this year by having more funds available than in the past.
East Bacon Street trees were trimmed of all dead wood, and the South end of Pleasant Street. One large maple on West Bacon Street was cut down and the dead wood was taken from remaining trees. The tree which was to be cut down on Grove Street was bolted up from top to trunk and the large cavity all dug out and tarred, which I think will still give service for a few years longer. Maple Street was trimmed up higher to let in more light and this street should have every other tree removed. Thirty-five maples were planted on West Bacon Street, 12 maples planted on Spring Street, 8 trees were moved back further on Spring Street which were planted two years ago, 10 maples were replaced on Lincoln Ave., 150 small maples were taken up from Ed. Eiden's lot and set out in nursery rows in town forest land for future planting on our roadsides.
88
ANNUAL REPORT
I hope the public realizes that shade trees are valuable public property which cannot be replaced for years to come, and should have care and treatment which takes money for upkeep. Therefor I recommend for 1931 the sum of $250.00 be appropriated.

REPORT OF MOTH DEPARTMENT
To the Board of Selectmen :
In my annual report this year ending December 31, 1930 to you on conditions of gypsy and brown-tail moth infestation, I will say for the first time in years that a fairly good condition prevails in all parts of the town. With the exception along the Rhode Island line, which consists mostly of woodland where it is impossible to do spraying or intensive creosote work, as the value of the woodland does not warrant the expenditure of the money necessary to do this, either by the owner, the town or the state. In that case, all that can be done is to spray the area bordering the roadsides. This is the only bad place there is throughout the town. There was no stripping except a few poplar trees in the centre by the satin moth, which is getting a good strong hold in the town. Two men were employed during the winter work of creosoting the eggclusters of the moths. There was a good spraying season this year, and very effective work was done, 1500 lbs. of poison being used. There was no increase of brown-tail moths, only 9 webs being found throughout the town.
The liability to the town for 1930 is $734.76. Amount appropriated including Moth Tax . . $884.76 Amount expended 883.89 .87
