FIRE ENGINEERS' REPORT FOR 1937
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
Gentlemen :-
We submit the following report for the period beginning August 15 and ending December 31, 1937.
In this period our town has been very fortunate in not having any serious fire losses, due in part to the keen interest shown by the men in the department and their ready response to alarms, holding those losses to a minimum.
The board of engineers wish to thank the tax payers of Plainville for making it possible to keep and maintain our equipment and station which we invite you to visit at any time. Also we wish to express our appreciation to the officers and men of the department for the fine cooperation shown during the period.
The following is a report of alarms answered since Aug- ust 15.

ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF PLAYGROUND AND PARK COMMISSIONERS
To The Honorable Board of Selectmen .-
Gentlemen:
We herewith submit our annual report.
The Park and Playground was well patronized during the season, the average attendance during August was 150.
Four ball games were played by the Plainville High School, six games by the Plainville Athletic Association and three games by the Independents.
The P. A. A. gave the use of the volley ball and net, they played ten soft ball games.
A firemen's carnival was held and also a tennis tourna- ment.
A diving board and slide were purchased.
The Plainville Board of Trade paid for the fence enclosing the sand box and small slides and we truly appreciate their help.
Merril Falk, Walter McKechnie, George Snell, Mrs. Cora Gardner and Mrs. Arthur Crowley donated the plants and dahlias. Geo. Hayes, Harry Proal and the Selectmen have as- sisted us in many ways and we wish to extend our thanks to them.
The P. W. A. have removed the under brush near the grand stand and fire place.
The swimming pool was cleaned every week. A group of the younger ball players were taken to Boston to see a league base ball game.
93
ANNUAL REPORT
We need new swings and see-saw, a power lawn mower, another tennis court and toilets.
We again appeal to the people of the town for gifts of plants, trees and shrubs.
For 1938 we desire an appropriation of $500.00.
Respectfully submitted

AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
Gentlemen :-
This is to certify that the accounts of the Treasurer have been duly examined by me and found correct.
The books of the Collector of Taxes and the Water De- partment have been examined. The amounts collected and paid to the Treasurer and the amount uncollected have been found to agree with the statements of the Treasurer.
All other departments receiving or disbursing money have been found to agree with the records of the Treasurer.
Respectfully submitted,
ALICE E. RIBERO,
Town Auditor
REPORT OF SELECTMEN
To the Town of Plainville:
During 1937, our actual welfare was not as high as pre- vious years due to the cooperation of the different depart- ments of the Town which have used some of this Welfare labor.
The W. P. A. project has also helped our Welfare.
During the year, the Highway Department has laid ap- proximately one and one quarter (11/4) miles of permanent road, which, of course, included all drainage and culverts. The permanent stretches were on Walnut, High, Berry, Shep- ard, and Grove Streets. They have also laid 3,500 yards of gravel.

ANNUAL REPORT
The Town truck and loader have proven that they are well able to support themselves and make the Town money. We recommend at this time that our present Truck be turned in for a new one.
The various Town Officials have been very willing to cooperate with the Board of Selectmen which has enabled us to have made a reduction in the Tax rate each year for the last two (2) years. We hope to be able to show a small reduction this year.
We wish at this time, to express our sorrow for the loss of Mr. Charles H. Peasley, who was the third member of our Board. Mr. Peasley was the type of man who had very high ideals and upheld them throughout his term of office. He cooperated to his utmost on any matters pertaining to the Town. We feel at this time that the Town has lost a very valuable citizen who has served the Town faithfully in vari- ous positions. He served on our School Committee for 9 years and on the Board of Selectmen for the past 2 years.
We wish at this time to thank all of the Town officers for their sincere cooperation during the past year.
Respectfully submitted,
EARLE F. BARNEY,
HERBERT M. THOMPSON,
Selectmen of Plainville
