ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF TRUSTEES OF PUBLIC LIBRARY
During the past year the use of the Library has great- ly increased, the circulation gaining nearly 25% and having several record nights. Although the appropria- tion was reduced your Trustees have been able to pur- chase nearly as many new books as in more prosperous years, especially for the younger patrons who make up such a large proportion of the readers.
In past years the handling of the charging of books has caused much delay but last Spring the Dewey System was installed which makes for more efficient service. All non-fiction books have been card cata- logued, also all fiction added during the last three years. On our upper floor we have added a room for the heavier technical books, according as far as possible to subjects. Books on education, electricity, biography, the arts etc. Owing to lack of facilities for heating, this room is not open except by request during cold weather.
It would seem that the books now being put on the market are of a higher grade than formerly, much of the literary filth unfit for the home circle has disappear- ed. When we do discover one we discard it. It is not possible for us to read all especially of new authors before placing them in circulation.
We are still much crowded for shelf room but by occasionally adding new shelfing and discarding worn and obsolete books to the Veterans Hospital and the Boy Scouts we have managed to find room so far. During the year we have been presented with about 60 volumes on various subjects by Mr. Wesley Burton and others among them a useful collection on educational subjects for teachers' use. We have been complimented by State Inspectors from the Department of Public Libraries in most matters, except crowded quarters and for not being open more hours each week. The usual average of the State is 15 hours per week while ours is but six. How- ever we have heard no local complaints as our patrons prefer that we purchase a larger number of new books rather than extend our hours. Some of our neighboring libraries have declared it doubtful if they purchase any this year. Our overhead being much smaller we plan to purchase as usual.

REPORT OF INSPECTOR OF ANIMALS
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen,
Plainville, Mass.
Gentlemen :
I submit herewith my report as Inspector of Animals for the year ending December 31, 1932.
261 animals were inspected on the annual inspection.
37 Pure Bred Cattle, 132 Grade Cattle, 16 Pure Bred Young Stock, 35 Grade Young Stock, 4 Pure Bred Bulls, 3 Grade Bulls, 41 Swine, 26 Sheep, 7 Goats.
26 Head of swine were innoculated for prevention of the disease known as hog cholera.
Wherever any contagious diseases were found the owner was compelled to clean and disinfect his stable.
49 Barns were inspected on the annual inspection.
During the year we have had an area test for tuber- culosis in which practically every herd of cattle has been tested. This means that none other than a tested cow can be brought into the town of Plainville. The number of cattle reacting to this test was 140. These cattle were condemned and killed.
The most of these have been replaced by a better grade of tested cattle. Owing to this test the barns have been inspected several times regardless of the annual inspection. This makes much more work for the in- spector which he is glad to do as the results have been very gratifying.
Respectfully submitted,
ERNEST TOOTILL,
Inspector.

REPORT OF TOWN BURIAL AGENT AND VETERANS' GRAVE INSPECTOR
During the past year no case requiring his attention has been brought to the Burial Agent. The various cemeteries in town have been inspected and all graves under town care found in good condition. Our neigh- boring town of Wrentham has cleaned up The Geroulds Corner yard which although not in our care has several Plainville veterans buried there. I wish to thank at this time Dr. N. C. Bullard for his aid in locating Revo- lutionary graves and procuring markers through the Sons of the Revolution and also Past Commander Wes- ley Burton of the American Legion who has completed a blueprint map of all veteran graves of all wars so that out or town visitors seeking relatives may easily find them. There are at least two 1812 graves unmarked except by G. A. R. markers which are not appropriate. This has been taken up with the Society of 1812 but as yet I have received no reply. One free Government headstone has also been procured. This work has been without cost to the town.

ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF TREE WARDEN
To the Board of Selectmen :
In my annual report this year ending December 31, 1932. I am endeavoring to show you what improvement I have made in bettering our roadsides and preserving our public shade trees. I have held closely to the objec- tions outlined in the report of last year.
In April 800 lbs. of tree food was drilled in under 24 trees, 12 trees on west side of School Street, and 12 trees on west side of East Bacon Street, I have closely watched the condition of each tree throughout the summer and no signs of yellow foliage showed. Novem- ber 8 I measured the new growth of the twigs on School Street and found from 2 to 4 inch growth, also I meas- ured on Spring Street and found just the leave stem growth, I am satisfied with the results, and earnestly advise that no matter how limited the appropriation may be that some portion is spent for continuing this work, for I don't believe there is anything we can do for our old trees that will prove of more assistance than add those elements that are necessary to tree growth.
Five small maple trees on West Bacon that were planted two years ago were dug up on account of the new high power line crossing the street, and replanted where others died. No other tree planting was done. One large dead maple on Melcher Street was cut down, and one large green maple on East Bacon Street which was so badly ruined by wind was removed. All dead wood was taken out of 27 trees in different parts of the center that were dangerous to the public and this work should be followed up every year. Three trees on Bacon Square were trimmed back from overhanging on the highway.
Through the co-operation of Mr. Bartlett of Shepards- ville and the Welfare Dept., Taunton and Shepard Street trees were trimmed back, all dead wood taken out and brush cut. Also through the co-operation of the High- way Dept. and the Welfare Dept., brush was cut and burned on the following streets: Mirimichi, Belcher, School, part of Cowell, and Fletcher Street. Years back
116
ANNUAL REPORT
this roadside brush cutting and trimming was always done through the Highway Department, because the money for such work is included in that department's appropriation. New laws have changed this method, and to my mind have always been wrong, if we look at Sec. 2 Chap. 87 of the General Laws.
I have given notice to three wood lot owners who are cutting their lots clean to the highway to leave a strip standing which borders the road and burn all brush within 30 ft. of the highway. This they have agreed to do. I believe if we are to have shade trees along our streets in the future, steps must be taken to change the present method and take advantage of the natural growth we already have.
One complaint was made against the Electric Light Company for tree damage and trimming without a per- mit, this case was settled by a better understanding be- tween the two departments.
I have not attempted in this report to cover the whole field in tree work for 1932, but to bring before the public in brief form some of the most interesting items, and for what I have accomplished has only been a labor of love in the sense that I have enjoyed the work.
In conclusion I wish to thank the citizens for their support, also the Welfare Dept. for their assistance in supplying help, and I hope the continuance of this work will be supported again this year, for we must remem- ber that 98 per cent of money spent on this work goes directly to labor.

REPORT OF TOWN FOREST COMMITTEE
January 18, 1933.
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :
Your committee for the Plainville Town Forest sub- mit herewith a report of our Town Forest work during the year ending Dec. 31, 1932.
Although our appropriation was small, much work has been accomplished, and we are indebted to the Welfare Dept. for this, in supplying labor. All work has been under the supervision of the secretary (Mr. Snell), with the advice from the State Forest Dept., and our aim in developing our Town Forest will be more for recrea- tional purposes at present.
Last spring a crew of seven men from the Welfare Dept. were put to work building a woodroad from Washington St. to George St. following the old cart path. One log bridge was completed, one large water hole made for fire protection in dry times, 2000 white spruce were planted. Where the new road layout went through town land 210 loads of loam was taken and hauled to land on east side of Washington St., and we want to thank you for your loyal support given us in getting this work done.
July 14, six men getting public aid were again put to work leveling off loam getting ready for grading off Washington St., cutting brush along the lake shore and thinning out one acre of woods on west side of Wash- ington St.
Through a special town meeting, a lease was given to Mr. Willard Leonard and son of Attleboro for land on east side of Washington St. next to the Turn Pike Lake.
An agreement was made with Arbute Brothers of Connecticut, who had the construction job at East Bacon Street extension, for gravel in trade for improvement, 45 hundred yards were taken, for which the leveling of
118
ANNUAL REPORT
the embankment along the pond with the present grade, also removing large stumps and boulders from present grade, and filling in and bringing to a satisfactory slope land on the north side of ice cream stand.
Forty-two cords of wood was cut this winter by the issuing of slips for cutting from the Welfare Dept. Three Welfare men were used for burning brush and cleaning up after the wood cutters, five acres of brush land was cleaned, and ten acres of thinning and release cutting was made off George St. entrance.
We have held fifteen committee meetings throughout the year and acted on five applications for land rental.
The secretary keeps a very accurate record of the man hours spent on various items of work. A total of ten hundred and forty-five hours labor was used in our Forest, of which nine hundred and thirty was from the Welfare Dept.
Among interesting items it may be mentioned that plans are being made for the erection of a lookout tower on High Rock State Forest within a short time. This we feel will still give Plainville a better protection.
Your committee feels that if we are to have a self paying Town Forest, we hope to have appropriated back for our use all receipts paid the town during 1932.

To the Board of Selectmen :
The Moth Dept. work is carried on the same year after year, consisting of creosoting, banding and spray- ing. with all work under the supervision of the State Superintendent.
I will give a report of the condition throughout the town, the situation which has developed on the east side of town shows a heavily infested area, running the entire length from North Attleboro line to Wrentham. I expect this summer we will see some stripping in this area. The center and west side of town is comparatively light with a few scattering infestations.
