ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF TRUSTEES OF PUBLIC LIBRARY
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
Gentlemen:
The library has been as usual under the charge of the same Board as last year. The circulation, while not quite as large as last year, owing to increased employment, has been steady and averages about the same.
As usual, we have received many valuable books from friends of the library for which we offer our appreciative thanks.
Again we state that if anyone wishing to look up ancesters who were natives of Wrentham anywhere from 1712 to 1850, we may be able to help you as to births, deaths, and marriages.
As has been the custom, worn and obsolete books have been given to hospitals and the Salvation Army as it is not our purpose to maintain a Literary Museum on the Fiction shelves.
In regard to patrons' care of books, we feel that the public of this town stands very high. In the report of the Boston Public Library it is stated that new Fiction after five (5) issues has to be repaired, while we have books still in good condition that have been issued thirty (30) and more times. It is not unusual, however, to find many surprising articles used as book marks. Hair pins, postal cards, letters, snap shots, and ribbons are the most popular, but none have as yet equalled the one received in Boston of a strip of fried bacon used for this purpose.
As we have stated before, State authority recommends that $1.00 per capita be appropriated in each city and town for library purposes, but our appropriation is 32c or less so we have to be very economical in expenditure, not being able to make improvements we would wish.

ANNUAL REPORT
FIRE ENGINEER'S REPORT FOR 1938
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
Gentlemen:
Our Town has been very fortunate in having a very small fire loss for the year 1938, while some of the surrounding towns have had larger fire losses than usual. Let us hope that our citizens have become "fire conscious" for after all, we have been taught that the best way to extinguish fires is to prevent them.
A fire school has been conducted in our department dur- ing the year 1938 sponsored by the State and we feel that it has been highly beneficial to the members.
We have had fourteen (14) house calls with a loss of $875.00. Three still alarms, no loss, and twenty (20) forest fire calls.
We wish to thank the Board of Selectmen for the co- operation they have given us this year.
Respectfully submitted,
CHRISTIAN F. HENRICH, ALTON E. FRENCH, CHESTER MEYER,
Board of Fire Engineers

REPORT OF PLAYGROUND AND PARK COMMISSIONERS
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
Gentlemen:
We herewith submit our annual report.
With the help of four N. Y. A. men, a rock garden was laid out near the stream and the grounds cleared around the library.
Fifteen ball games were played.
Tennis tournament conducted.
Field day held by Juvenile Grange.
Field Day by the Firemen.
Fourth of July celebration.
We wish to thank the 4th of July committee for their donation.
A power lawn mower was bought and we were able to keep the grass looking better than in previous years.
The road needs to be resurfaced and the playground appar- atus should be replaced.
A great deal of damage was done by the hurricane and trees must be replaced.
The safety of the children is our first thought and the care- taker is instructed that this is his first duty. We would like to caution parents against letting their children swim in the pool after hours.
Including replacements and for general upkeep, we desire an appropriation of $450.00 for 1939.

TREASURER'S REPORT
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
Gentlemen:
The Treasurer's Report for the Town of Plainville is sub- mitted herewith for the accounting period beginning January 1, 1938 and ending December 31, 1938.
During the year the following payments were made for which no provision had been made or funds voted and conse- quently it will be necessary to make appropriations therefor.
For Snow Removal $ 173.04
For State Taxes
2,134.97
For County Taxes 6.38
For Hurricane and Flood 740.51
$3,054.90
Your attention is also called to the transfer of $400.00 for the purchase of Road Machinery Equipment. No purchase was made and therefor this amount remains a credit to that account.
By the vote of a Special Town Meeting, $10,000.00 was voted for sanitation changes in the School Buildings. Of this amount $4,500.00 was to be furnished by the Federal Government. As this project was not started this unexpended balance is shown on balance sheet, less the amount of $350.00 paid the architect for his services.
Respectfully submitted,
EDWARD OSTERHOLM,
Treasurer
