The outstanding tax, excise. departmental, and water ac- counts were verified by sending notices to a number of persons whose names appeared on the books as owing money to the Town, the replies received thereto indicating that the accounts, as listed, are correct.
The records of the sealer of weights and measures, of the health and library departments, as well as of all other depart- ments collecting money or committing bills for collection, were examined and checked with the treasurer's records.
In addition to the balance sheet referred to, there are ap- pended to this report tables showing a reconciliation of the several cash accounts, summaries of the tax, excise, tax title, tax possession, departmental, and water accounts, as well as tables showing the condition and transactions of the trust and investment funds.
For the cooperation received from the various officials during the progress of the audit, I wish, on behalf of my assist- ants and for myself, to express appreciation.

ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF PARK AND PLAYGROUND COMMISSIONERS
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
Gentlemen:
The Park and Playground continues to be the most popular spot in the town. Attendance starts early in April and con- tinues through to the middle of October. Starting in May, a boy is employed to mow the grass, keep the grounds picked up, wash and clean the bathhouses each morning. During the summer months a woman is hired to watch the children in and around the pool. These arrangements have worked out very satisfactorily.
The new swings which were purchased late in 1946 were put up and were in constant use. Baby swings were ordered early in the year, but have not as yet arrived.
A new diving board was installed at the pool. Posts were set at the end of the driveway to prevent cars from driving in and among the children.
The baseball field was in use every day or evening.
We wish to call to the attention of the townspeople, the condition of the cement walls of the swimming pool. Cracks have appeared on all sides and there is danger of the walls being forced in by the frost. We believe a new pool should be constructed as soon as is possible.
The Park Commissioners wish to express their appreciation to the Plainville Lion's Club for painting the bathhouses and cleaning the pool.
Because of the increased cost of labor and material, we are asking for a larger appropriation, namely $1,000.00.

ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH
The Board of Health has had a very busy year. We had two patients at the Norfolk County Hospital. One case having a Plainville settlement, but now living in North Attleboro, is at present confined to the Briggs Corner Sanatorium, and will be an added expense to the Town.
We have examined and caused to be put in proper condi- tion, several cesspools which had become a public menace to the health of our townspeople, and danger to spreading polio.
Numerous wells in the out-lying districts were examined by the State, as to their safety for drinking purposes.
The Board, at the suggestion of Milk Inspector Earl B. Thompson, contracted for a series of regular monthly tests of the milk being distributed in Plainville by the various dealers. These tests have been enlightening and their regular use may serve to prevent the possible spread of disease from this source. Further thought and discussion may lead to the adop- tion of similar tests designed to determine the bacteria count of eating and drinking utensils in local restaurants and eating establishments, etc., as a means of improving conditions of public health.
Disease recordings on file at the Town Office for the year 1947 are:
41 Measles
4 Dog Bite
1 Scarlet Fever
6 Mumps
3 Tuberculosis
2 Whooping Cough

REPORT OF TRUSTEES OF PUBLIC LIBRARY
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
Gentlemen:
A new Board of Trustees of the Public Library was organ- ized for the year of 1947, due to the resignation of the Presi- dent of the Board, Mrs. Bertha Averill.
A mix-up in the election found only two (2) members on the Board, so Mrs. Alice Pease was appointed to fill the unexpired term of Mrs. Bertha Averill. Theodore Wickman was chosen as President of the Board, and Mrs. Alice Pease as Secretary.
With the exception of legal holidays, the Library has been open to the public on all the required days.
Cooperation with the schools in the matter of certified State Reading is continued and books are added to the list yearly.
We have continued our practice of giving discarded books to the hospitals needing reading material.
Our circulation dropped some this year.
A new stove is necessary for safety, and will be duly pur- chased and installed.
