REPORT OF THE FOREST WARDEN
During the year of 1932 the Fire Department was called to 5 woodland fires, mostly being what are term- ed as road-side fires and are set by carelessness or intentionally. The largest fire of the year started on Belcher Street, April 24, and required the help of the Departments of the five surrounding towns, besides the State equipment located at Stoughton. I wish to state that no fire will be started in the open anytime during the year excepting when the ground is covered with · snow or on rainy days, without a permit.
Please co-operate with your Fire Department and help to save the Town what expense you can by secur- ing a permit before you start a fire in the open.
The cost of extinguishing Forest Fires during the year was as follows :

REPORT OF THE HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :
Besides the regular work of scrapping, patching and gravelling, about one mile of tar road was constructed on Taunton Street from Shepard to the North Attleboro line. This road was widened out to twenty feet, grav- elled and given two coats of tar. This was accomplished with the co-operation of Mr. Elmer E. Bartlett who con- tributed three hundred dollars for tar.
Another section on Walnut Street was reshaped and given two applications of tar, and we hope to be able to build one mile this year on this street. East Bacon Street from the new four-lane road, should be widened out to twenty feet, reshaped and given two applications of tar for a distance of about fifteen hundred feet.
Respectfully submitted,
ARCHIE L. WALDEN,
Highway Supervisor.

AUDITOR'S REPORT
This is to certify that I have carefully examined the books of the Treasurer and find them correct.
I have examined the books of the Collector of Taxes for the years 1930, 1931 and 1932 and found the amounts collected and paid the Treasurer and the amount un- collected to agree with the statement of the Treasurer.
I have examined the books and compared the vouchers of the Water Department, Town Clerk, Sealer of Weights and Measures and Public Library and find they agree with the payments of the Treasurer.
Respectfully, ALICE E. SIMMONS,
Town Auditor.
Plainville, Mass.
February 2, 1933.

ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF SELECTMEN
Our Chapter 90 work was completed at a total cost to the Town of $7,540.92 for the two-year period, includ- ing the land damages. The State and County con- tributed $20,989.94. The Town received the benefit of completed construction amounting to $27,785.86.
This is a little under the original estimate which pro- vided only for the relocation and improvement of Messenger Street. We now not only have Messenger Street in excellent condition but also a new highway connecting Bacon Street with Messenger Street at Wilkins Four Corners, an improvement which we are confident will be of great future advantage to the Town.
The increase in demands on the Welfare Department has added a considerable burden to your officials during the past year. Since early Summer special meetings have been held every Saturday afternoon at the Town Offices for the interviewing of applicants for assistance. This arrangement is still being continued.
In spite of the fact that we spent $9,450.00 for Wel- fare this year, we are asking for an appropriation of only $6.000.00 for next year. The demands for aid have been considerably less than anticipated since the advent of Winter and while we can only guess at future re- quirements, we are taking a sporting chance on the above figure in our desire to assist in keeping the tax rate down.
We wish to express our appreciation of the co-opera- tion extended by Mr. Walden, local supervisor of the State Highway in the provision and division of work for many of our unemployed who would otherwise have required public aid at a great increase in cost of the Welfare Department.
