ANNUAL REPORT
TREASURER'S REPORT
January 16, 1942
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
Gentlemen:
The Treasurer's Report for the Town of Plainville is sub- mitted herewith for the accounting or financial period from January 1, 1941 to December 31, 1941.
Exhibits and schedules have been prepared which more clearly reflect the financial condition and transactions during the accounting period for which this report is submitted.
Cash:
The cash balance of $20,640.47 is on deposit at the Manu- facturers National Bank of North Attleboro and at the National Shawmut Bank of Boston and subject to withdrawal by check. The cash represented by the Trust Fund is on deposit at the Attleborough Savings Bank of North Attleboro. The interest accumulated is withdrawn and credited to the School account and used by that department to defray expenses of the current year. The interest received in 1941 was $14.61.
Accounts Receivable :
Uncollected personal and real estate taxes amount to $10,819.70. This amount is considerably less than outstanding at 1940 and shows a healthy local condition. See Tax Collector's report for details.
Motor Vehicles Excise Taxes :
The amount of $86.72 represents uncollected automobiles excise taxes that remain on the Tax Collector's books at December 31. A reserve is established and therefor does not appear as an asset. Receipts are credited to Estimated Receipts and certified to the Assessors and used by them in fixing the current tax rate.
Departmental:
$3,780.15 represents unpaid water bills on the books of the Water Commissioners at the close of the current period. This amount is considerably more than in previous years. Reserve is
78
ANNUAL REPORT
set up for the above amount and treated the same as other re- serves when collected. $163.30 is the amount due from the Commonwealth on account of Highways Chapter 81 reimburse- ment which had not been received at time the books were closed. No reserve is set up for this amount as this represents a direct liability of the State.
Tax Titles :
$690.31 represents the amount of taxes owing on property that has been foreclosed by the Tax Collector for non-payment of taxes. These tax titles may be redeemed by any interested person or persons, but must be redeemed in a period of two years.
Tax Titles Possession :
$881.38 represents the amount of taxes that were owing on property that has been taken by the Town of Plainville after a two year period has elapsed. The Selectmen hold title to this property and have authority to sell and give a clear title to any person willing to buy.
United States Federal Grants :
The Federal Government grants funds to assist in paying the cost of Old Age Assistance and Aid to Dependent Children and also assumes part of the cost of administration. The credit balances as shown on the statement represent amounts not yet used by the Town.
Reserve for Road Machinery Operation:
Town trucks and other machinery, when used by the high- way department, is charged the same as if hired from private owners. The amount of $1,182.88 is an accumulation of credits for 1941 and prior years. From this amount appropriations can be made for buying new equipment and maintenance but only by a vote of the Town.
Reserve Fund-Overlay Surplus :
Overlay reserve is an accumulation of overlay balances after taxes have been collected for the years for which the overlay was reserved. The present balance of $1,072.88 can be appropriated but only by a vote of the Town.
79
ANNUAL REPORT
Unexpended Balances :
This amount represents amounts contracted for but not paid. These balances are carried as a liability on the books until such time as bills are presented for payment.
Surplus Revenue :
$22,444.35 represents the accumulation of unused balances and receipts. This is the amount of cash available if all taxes and other receipts were collected and all obligations paid. Free Cash represented in this amount at December 31, 1941 was $11,624.65.
General:
During the year of 1941 the Town borrowed $20,000.00 in anticipation of revenue which was paid as agreed. This amount was borrowed from the First National Bank of Boston, Massa- chusetts.
At this time I wish to thank the Honorable Board of Select- men and other Town Officials for their cooperation as it has been a pleasure to serve with you.
Respectfully submitted,
EDWARD OSTERHOLM,
Treasurer

The gypsy moth infestation showed an increase this last year. Eight different colonies in outlying woodland districts were completely defoliated this past summer.
The colonies at the Rhode Island line have been bad for several years now. There is also a general increase in the quantity of egg clusters from a year ago.
A big improvement is shown in the tent caterpillar work over last year. No brown-tail moths were seen in the wood- lands. The elm beetles were not as bad this year as in the past.
All payrolls and reports have been sent in to the State Forest Department.
Respectfully submitted,
GEORGE H. SNELL,
Moth Superintendent

ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF FIRE ENGINEERS
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
Gentlemen:
The following is the report of your board of Fire Engineers for the year 1941.
Again we are able to report that the financial loss of property from fire has been very small. The number of alarms for buildings and personal property totaled twenty-three (23), and all of these were covered by insurance.
Our department is happy to report that we are occupying the new fire station and appreciate the conveniences that it houses.
Due to the present world conditions, we feel it will be necessary to add some equipment in order to cope with more hazards than we would ordinarily expect.
We wish to thank you and the citizens for the fine coopera- tion and confidence you have given us this past year.
Respectfully submitted,
CHRISTIAN F .HENRICH, ALTON E. FRENCH, CHESTER A. MEYER,
Board of Fire Engineers
