The number of cattle reacting to these tests were two which is a much smaller number than last year.
These two animals were condemned and killed.
Four cows were quarantined for entering the State without having the proper test papers.
One dog was quarantined for biting a boy and was released after fourteen days.
During the year, 26 head of cattle were shipped in from other States and were released by the inspector.
The most of the cattle owners are living up to the requirements of the State, which is very pleasing to both the State and local inspector.
Respectfully submitted,
ERNEST TOOTILL, Inspector.

REPORT OF TOWN BURIAL AGENT AND VETERANS' GRAVE INSPECTOR
As last year, no case requiring the services of the Burial Agent has come to his attention. The graves in the various cemeteries were inspected and found in good condition. The various patriotic societies of the Attle- boros and this town have kept the markers in place and on Memorial Day have visited and decorated all veteran graves. This has been of no expense to the town for inspection.

As you all should know, the General Laws were amended in 1932 in an effort to bring all agencies in- specting Dairy Farms producing milk to be sold within the Commonwealth under a uniform method, this to be accomplished by all Inspectors using a set of regula- tions promulgated by the Milk Regulation Board ; created under Chapter 305 of the Acts of 1932. These regulations represent minimum requirements for all farms keeping more than two cows and selling milk.
The following items are deemed essentials, and neces- sary for the approval of dairy farms for a Certificate of Registration and without this State Certificate of Regis- tration local licenses for the sale of milk cannot be issued.
The following points are decreed as necessary under the five essentials :-

ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF PLAYGROUND AND PARK COMMISSIONERS
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen.
Gentlemen :-
We herewith submit our annual report.
We feel that much has been accomplished with the funds available. The land bought from Mr. William S. Metcalf comprised 87,450 feet. This was for the ball field, and after grading and filling in have been com- pleted, the field will be in accordance with the plan as originally laid out.
Through the help of the F. E. R. A. the ball field is being graded, the grounds were cleared for the tennis courts and they extended the retaining wall in the stream.
With the appropriation made by the town for the cost of material, the library has been repaired, the under pinning strengthened, new floors and ceiling laid, three rooms and hall painted and papered, the work being done by F. E. R. A.
During the season 31 baseball games were played by different organizations of the town. Health Day and Memorial Day exercises held. The 4th of July Celebra- tion, and the Legion and Firemen's Carnival on Labor Day, these were the outstanding events of the season.
The gift from the 4th of July celebration, which is sponsored by the Board of Trade, will be used to repair the pool and to purchase new apparatus for the younger children.
111
ANNUAL REPORT
We are very grateful to Mr. Joseph Jette for the pompom dahlia bed. the Plainville Garden Club for the mixed flower bed, Mr. Merrill Falk for the two flower beds in front of the library, and to Mrs. Cora Gardner for the dahlias at the Memorial band stand.
We need shrubs and trees and would appreciate it very much if the people of the town would kindly donate and give them as gifts or memorials.
Our greatest need at present are tennis courts, there- fore we desire an appropriation for the cost of material and for the back stops. The work we hope will be done by the federal aid alloted the town.
The apparatus and bath houses have been painted.
To continue the work for 1935 we desire an appropria- tion of $400.00.

ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF TREE WARDEN
January 7, 1935.
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen,
Gentlemen :--
The annual report of the Tree Warden is herewith submitted for 1934.
At the starting of 1934, there was a C. W. A. project in progress in cutting brush along our country highways. Eight men were employed on this work until April 1. They were paid by the Government.
Owing to the small allottment for this department at town meeting, no spring work such as improvement or needed care could be carried out in tree work. This ap- propriation was kept for use only in emergency work where danger to people and automobiles was liable.
One heavy electric storm last summer with high winds did considerable damage thoruoghout the town. Fourteen trees were blown down across the highways, and although the center had no fallen trees, many broken limbs had to be sawed off. This storm cost the Tree Department $18.00.
During the month of August, six men were employed in roadside brush cutting. This work is laid out by the State Highway Department who give the Tree Warden the list of just what streets brush cutting can be carried out on. Under Chapter 81 of the Highway Department. $325.00 was allotted for this work and all the tar roads were cut back leaving considerable danger at corners and intersecting streets on some of our dirt roads. Under the Tree Warden appropriation (as far as money would go) nine of these dangerous corners were cut back, sav- ing possibility of some fatal accident.
8
114
ANNUAL REPORT
As a recommendation for 1935, I would suggest that $500.00 be appropriated for the cutting of brush on our country roads, such as High, Berry, Rhodes and Belcher Streets. It seems very likely that we are going to be faced with some unemployment this year and this type of relief should be offered to the people who are so un- fortunate as to be out of work. I believe work should be created that would be worth while and constructive.
Recommendation for the Center
There is considerable trimming work which should be attended to, consisting mostly of dead wood cutting. In the last five years this department has planted 135 trees throughout town. They have been neglected now for two years, and some replacement will have to be made. We cannot stick a tree into the ground and forget it as they have got to be cultivated and fertilized in, order to grow.
There is brush cutting to be carried out on Brunner, Grove, Bugbee, Pleasant and East and West Bacon Streets, which do not come under Chapter 81 of the Highway Department.
At this writing all Tree Warden tools were donated to the E. R. A. forest fire prevention project and it remains to be seen in what condition they will be return- ed. Possibly some replacement of tools will have to be ınade.
I recommend that this needed work be taken care of this year and the sum of $150.00 be appropriated for roadside and tree work in the center.
Appropriation $50.00
Expended 50.00
Respectfully submitted,
GEORGE H. SNELL,
Tree Warden.

ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF GYPSY MOTH DEPARTMENT
January 1, 1935.
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen,
Gentlemen :---
The annual report of your Moth Superintendent is herewith submitted.
During the first four months of the year a Civil Works Project was in progress. Thirteen men were working creosoting gypsy moth egg-clusters in heavily infested woodland where no work would otherwise be done on account of insufficient funds. This project was entirely handled by the State Department of Conservation and the men were paid each week by Government checks from that department. This work was intended to help the town in its unemployment and welfare problems.
February 1, three men were employed in creosoting and scouting work on all highways and open areas, in- cluding private property throughout the town.
During May and June, spraying was carried out on all highways. About 275 acres of woodland were spray- ed in different parts of the town in order to hold the moths in check. The State Forestry Department has assisted as far as possible. This work was paid from the moth appropriation.
During November and December an E. R. A. project was approved, giving employment to seven men.
This fall, work was done with the object of cleaning out these colonies thoroughly-creosoting, cutting and burning are the methods used.
116
ANNUAL REPORT
This work, of course, contributes something to the campaign of controlling the gypsy moths, but we can- not expect 100 per cent. efficiency.
Taken all in all, I will say the moth infestation in this town has been greatly reduced in all areas known to be affected. Much credit should be given to owners of large estates who did a great deal of work to keep the moths in check.
The liability to the Town for 1934 $696.05
Amount appropriated including moth tax 796.05
Amount expended 796.03

GEORGE H. SNELL.

ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF TRUSTEES OF PUBLIC LIBRARY
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen,
Gentlemen :-----
The management of the Library has been in the same hands as last year and we notice a continual increase in the patronage although we were obliged to close for seven weeks during repairs and alterations. Our over- head has naturally been much higher than usual for fuel, light, etc., although under a reduced appropriation, but the results are well worth the expenses. The following report of Mrs. Eva Schubert, Supervisor of the C. W. A., full explains her part in the work.
"Approximately 8000 books have been placed in order and shelves and sections have been labeled according to alphabet and subject matter. This involved work in four rooms : Fiction, Non Fiction, Children's and Reference. Stickers, plates, cardholders, cards or all of these have been placed in 6283 books. Titles and names of authors have been printed on labeling cards on 8000 books; 5048 have been mended (many only minor repairs) ; 7700 books have been catalogued according to Dewey system. The 300 remaining books were either out or discarded in survey."
We wish to compliment the ladies who did the work, Mrs. Alice McNeill and Mrs. Myrtle White Smith.
When the appropriation for material from the town and labor under the E. R. A. became available, work on alterations and reconditioning was started and con- tinued for seven weeks to the great improvement of the 200 year old building, especially the floors and ceilings on the lower story. A much less amount of renovating in the upper parts would make the entire structure good for many additional years.
118
ANNUAL REPORT
We have not been able to purchase as many new books as usual, especially for the reference shelves and have discarded the usual amount of worn and obsolete Fiction to be given to the Veterans' Hospitals. We have found that this is cheaper than to rebind, as new and up-to- date books can be purchased for less in many cases.
