ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF PLAYGROUND AND PARK COMMISSIONERS
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
Gentlemen:
We herewith submit our annual report.
The playground was well patronized, the activities were many. A great deal of interest was manifested in tennis. We hope to complete the second court early this Spring.
Sixteen baseball games were played and ten softball games, a men's tennis tournament was held and the Juvenile Grange held a field day. The big event was the Fourth of July celebration.
We wish to thank the Plainville Community Association for their generous gift.
Falk Bros. have planted and furnished the plants for the flower beds in front of the library for several years and we certainly appreciate this very much and many thanks are due them.
The swimming pool was repaired, the giant stride ladders were replaced and the bath house painted.
Apparatus needs to be replaced and toilets are badly needed.
We desire an appropriation of $450 for 1940.
Respectfully submitted,
CLARENCE F. TELFORD, CHARLES G. HAYES, META A. SCHUBERT,
Playground and Park Commissioners

AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
Gentlemen:
This is to certify that the accounts of the Treasurer, Tax Collector, and Water Commissioners have been duly examined by me, compared and found to agree. All unpaid amounts are the same as the statements of the Treasurer.
All other Departments receiving money, Town Clerk, Library Trustees, Sealer of Weights and Measures, and Milk Inspector have been verified and amounts turned over to the Treasurer agree with his records.
Respectfully submitted,
ALICE E. RIBERO,
Town Auditor
REPORT OF SELECTMEN
To the Town of Plainville:
During the year 1939, our Old Age Assistance cases have increased considerably. However, our General Welfare cases have shown a slight decrease. We are obliged to ask for more money for 1940 to cover our Old Age Assistance cases, but we hope to be able to cut our welfare expenditure from what it was in 1939.
The Highway Department, with the aid of a W. P. A. project, has laid approximately 11/2 miles of permanent road, and approximately 5000 yards of gravel has been spread on our rural highways.
We wish at this time to bring your attention to the con- dition of the Town hall and High School building. Both of
110
ANNUAL REPORT
these buildings are in need of considerable repair as well as being very badly in need of paint. We are placing an article in the Town Warrant which will take care of both of these buildings.
The Board of Selectmen wish to thank all of the Town officials who enabled us this past year to keep our tax rate the same as 1938 and with their continued cooperation, we hope to keep this tax rate approximately the same for 1940.
Respectfully submitted,
HERBERT M. THOMPSON,
EARLE F. BARNEY, ARTHUR L. CROWLEY, Plainville Board of Selectmen
