ANNUAL REPORT
FIRE ENGINEERS' REPORT FOR 1942
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
Gentlemen:
During the year 1942, we had nine alarms involving build- ings and thirteen brush and grass fire calls. The net loss of property after insurance had been paid was $835.00. Two small buildings that were lost were not covered by insurance. We feel very fortunate in keeping this amount so low.
The personnel of the department has been upset consider- ably this year due to the fact so many men have been employed out-of-town in the war effort. We wish to thank these men for accepting the so-called stagger system and ask the coopera- tion of all the townspeople in the hazardous forest fire period in the Spring and Fall.
During the year the Auxiliary Firemen graduated from a training course given by Captain H. E. Brown of Attleboro.
Again we must mention the fact that it has been a pleasure to us all to work with the many conveniences provided in our new quarters.
In submitting this report we want to thank your board and the members of the department for the cooperation shown us in the year 1942.
Respectfully submitted,
CHRISTIAN F. HENRICH,
ALTON E. FRENCH, CHESTER A. MEYER,

We feel that this was a very successful year. Our accidents were about half of those during the last year. The injuries were not serious. There have been no fatalities in two (2) years.

REPORT OF MOTH DEPARTMENT
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
The Gypsy Moth infestation throughout the town shows a wonderful improvement over the previous two years, especially in the woodland areas.
Creosoting work was done only along our roadsides, spraying was carried on during the feeding time of the moths, and 1800 pounds of poison was used.
No reimbursement in Fall work was received from the State Forestry Department as in the past years.
All State reports have been sent to the State Forest Depart- ment.
