ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF TRUSTEES OF PUBLIC LIBRARY
There has been no change in the administration of the Library in 1937. We notice as we did last year, a falling off in circulation and for the same reason. More at work and more local evening activities. But this is the report of nearly every library in the State, large or small, even Boston Public.
With our small appropriation we have been unable to improve heating service or to open a hoped for Historical room.
Again we have to thank several public spirited friends for donations of valuable books. We would especially note those given by Miss Annie Cheever of North Attleboro and Mr. E. H. Stolworthy of Plainville.
Many citizens do not realize the number of books of reference we have on the shelves of the reference room in the second story, and are surprised when they see them. This is espcially true of students from the schools. As an instance of this, a young lady came in with six (6) books from North Attleboro Library and our librarian showed her that we had duplicates of every one.
Our thanks are due to the North Attleboro Management for their courtesy to our teachers and scholars.
This year worn and obsolete books were given on re- quest, to the Salvation Army as none were received from Patriotic or C. C. Camp organizations.
A well known editorial written recently said, "Anyone who notices the titles in the book rack at a news stand where pulp magazines are offered for outright purchase will realize that a public library is not fitted to compete on that field. There is abundant evidence that many people are struggling to inform themselves. A public library is a supplement to formal education. There should be a place in which those who aim to enlarge their own horizons can find the books that will give them what they seek."

There has been no call for the services of the Burial Agent this year. Graves under Town charge were found in good condition, well mowed, and marked properly.
Only one new one was discovered, that of Lieut. Cobb, a veteran of 1812, in Shepardville Cemetery, but this is cared for by descendents and is not a Town charge. It will be proper- ly decorated hereafter on Memorial Day.

ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF MILK INSPECTOR
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :-
Gentlemen :-
Herewith I submit my report as Milk Inspector for the fiscal year 1937.
We have issued 32 Dealers and Producer-dealers licenses and I feel I can truthfully say that all these Dealers and Producers are selling a very excellent quality of Milk.
Since the regular State inspections and strict enforcement of the States requirements as to Healh and sanitation in the production of Milk, the producers are really endeavoring to put out a cleaner and higher grade of Milk.
Every test made this past year has been above the Statu- tory requirements and shows a marked improvement in both cleanliness and quality over tests made in previous years.
The Producers are all showing a fine spirit of co-opera- tion and are really putting out a superior quality of Milk.
The new State regulations demand the procuring of a State Producers license previous to the granting of a Town license and the State license expires on June 30 each year which makes both State and Town licenses renewable July first, and if the licensees would call for their licenses promptly there-after it would greatly facilitate the work of the office. 32 Licenses issued at 50ยข $16.00
Cash turned over to Town Treasurer $16.00

ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF THE TREE WARDEN
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
Gentlemen :-
I submit herewith my report as Tree Warden for the year ending December 31, 1937.
Last Spring, forty (40) small maple trees were planted on East Bacon Street, Spring Street, and Lincoln Avenue. Trees planted in the last five years were given a good fer- tilizing and dug around. Overhanging branches and dead wood were taken out on Blakes Hill Roads. Twenty (20) large maple trees were trimmed back on East Bacon and Grove Streets on account of dampness and darkness in homes.
The Electric Light Company have trimmed back all branches that interfered with their wires throughout the Town.
Under Chapter 81, money, brush cutting was done on all highways.
Through the generosity of Mr. Elmer Bartlett, of Shep- ardsville, all of the shade trees along Taunton Street from the Carlson property to Bliss Chapel have been trimmed. I surely wish to thank Mr. Bartlett for this needed work.
I have had a number of complaints from property owners about our shade trees causing dampness and darkness in their homes by hanging branches. This I find is true, and by trimming our trees higher up, it will let in the light.
Of course, we all have in our mind to cut down the tax rate by less appropriation, but to carry out this needed work will require a larger appropriation than in the past.

REPORT OF THE MOTH DEPARTMENT
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :-
Gentlemen :--
I herewith submit to you my annual report on Gypsy Moth work for the year ending December 31, 1937. The open winter of 1937 has made a favorable year for all species of feeding insects, therefore, the gypsy moth conditions are about the same, a very heavy infestation.
About 1600 acres were defoliated. The usual amount of spraying and creosoting was done from town appropriation, 1500 lbs. of poison were used for spraying.
The State Forestry Department has assisted by reim- bursement in supplies and payrolls.
During October and November, four (4) men were put to work creosoting which was financed from State Treasurer.
76
ANNUAL REPORT
No Browntail moth webs were found this past year, but a heavy infestation of tent caterpillar and elm leaf beetle.
All pay-rolls and reports have been sent in to State For- est Department.
