Comparison with previous years shows a substantial year-to-year increase in calls answered by the Department.
The obvious increase and diversification of demands made on the Fire Department forces your Fire Engineers to urge upon the towns- people the very serious consideration of the establishment of a per- manent day-time Fire Department. Trained men available in the day- time are almost non-existent. We can only be positive that one trained man will answer an alarm. Others may or may not be available. An article has been inserted in the warrant for the establishment of a permanent, day-time Fire Department. In view of the aforementioned facts, we earnestly solicit your support.
This year the Department has completed installation of Heat Detector Heads in the Town Office Building and Fire Station.
Also during the year the following Fire Alarm Boxes were in- stalled: Box 45, West Bacon and Walnut Streets; Box 46, West Bacon and Warren Streets; Box 48, West Bacon and Elizabeth Streets; and Box 431. The Hilsinger Corp. We are asking for no appropriation for capital Fire Alarm Equipment as a survey will be made of the entire system this year.
We are requesting a sum of money for the purchase of three (3) additional Plectron Home Receivers to augment the present units

which have been purchased by the members of the Department from their activities fund. At this time we have two (2) transmitters and nie (9) receivers in the department.
During the year we were privileged to send the Chief of the Department and two Captains to the Barnstable County Fire Training School. Because of the valuable technical information and knowledge brought home by these men and disseminated to the department, we feel that this type of program should be a part of our yearly training.
Fire drills were held in all schools and many inspections were made at the schools, churches, factories, stores and the Rogers Nursing Home.
We are asking that our Equipment Account be continued this year. Our 1929 Reo Ladder Truck is another year older and is still in need of immediate replacement.
We wish to express our sincere thanks to the officers and men of the Department for their cooperation and dedicated service during the months since we were appointed.
We also wish to express our appreciation to the Board of Select- men and all others who have assisted us in any way this year.

REPORT OF SANITARY INSPECTOR AND ANALYST
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
Gentlemen:
Eating and drinking establishments were inspected several times and bacteria swab counts made of utensils. General cooperation of management was good, but as any unsatisfactory conditions found, a recheck was made until satisfactory. The purpose of maintaining low bacteria counts of utensils used for eating and drinking is to prevent the spread of contagious disease, including the common cold, as well as dangerous infection. Clean wholesome food, handled in a sanitary manner, is of course, object of inspection of storage conditions and operation of facilities.
Regular analysis of milk and cream was made several times dur- ing the year, of dealers selling in town and reports made to the milk inspector, who has handled dairy product quality program with speed and efficiency. We made antibiotic residue assay on all samples of milk sold in town to determine that none of the antibiotics used in treatment of cows is present in milk sold to public, as this is a public health hazard. We have found negative results during the year, which shows very good operation by herd owners and care by dairies as to supply purchased.
Would advise that a program of sewage disposal control for all new building would be advisable. This consists of percolation test made at every lot where building is proposed; layout of required ade- quate disposal system, based on type of soil, water table and result of percolation test for size of house planned. Inspection before back- fill, to check proper construction of system lay-out by Agent of Board of Health. A permit issued by Board of Health to install sewage disposal system and containing specifications should be required before a building permit may be issued. This system has worked out very well in several towns over a period of year, and will soon be manda- tory by adoption in the State Sanitary Code. The purpose of this pro- gram is to protect the new home buyer and to maintain sanitary, healthy conditions by proper sub-surface disposal.
During the summer season, weekly tests were made of the swim- ming pool, in order to maintain a healthy condition of the swimming facilities, and reports made to the Board of Health after tests were completed.

CIVIL DEFENSE REPORT
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen
Gentlemen:
Recent assumption by the Department of Defense of many Civil Defense responsibilities and the Civil Service qualification of State Civil Defense authorities has effected a number of functional and oper- ational requirements.
In compliance with these changes, Plainville's previously submit- ted preparedness plan is now in the process of being revaluated and rewritten.
Recent cooperation with authorities at the King Philip Regional High School has resulted in a committee approval basic preparedness plan.
Purchase of surplus property by town departments has been made possible during the past year.
Basic information regarding Plainville has been submitted to the Corps of Army Engineers as the first step in their assessment of the town's shelter capability. Army survey teams will complete this project at some time in the future.
Following the President's preparedness warning this past year a great deal of Civil Defense information was distributed and many ques- tions answered. This lasted for a short time and then public interest again dwindled.
Respectfully submitted,

REPORT OF THE WATER COMMISSIONERS - 1961
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
Gentlemen:
We wish to submit the following report of the Water Department year ending December 30, 1961.
This has been an extremely busy year for the department. The freeze of the end of January and February 1961, called for an emer- gency appropriation of the Finance Committee as shown. Frozen meters were repaired and charges billed to the homeowners. There were five water main breaks repaired. Five hydrants were reported broken which were repaired or replaced. Fifteen new services were installed.
The twelve inch main under Route 1, was completed. The ten inch main was installed on West Bacon Street. The Water Commissioners through Town Counsel Charles Mason is endeavoring to obtain a permanent easement for this main crossing under the railroad tracks in the amount of $300.00. The yearly amount of the temporary ease- ment is $26.00. The commissioners feel they are acting in the best interest of the town in this endeavor.
The painting of the standpipe was completed to the satisfaction of the department.
The commissioners met with the Wrentham Water Department in regards to the purchase of water. They stated they were not in a position to furnish water to the north end of Plainville. However, they would allow a tie in for fire emergency only.
We wish to thank the townspeople, Highway Department, North Attleboro Water Department, and selectmen for the cooperation ren- dered this board during the past year.

REPORT OF THE VETERANS' AGENT
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
Gentlemen:
In presenting my report as the Veterans' Agent I would like to call your attention to the increased cost for the year 1961.
There has been a general increase throughout the Commonwealth of Massachusetts of 18% in Veterans' Aid, and we here in Plainville increased our case load over the past years.
There have been twenty-four cases which have been handled this year; of these, six received financial assistance. The others included: admittance to hospitals, pension applications, burial allowance appli- cations and various other applications pertaining to Veterans' Bene- fits.
Each case was investigated and followed through before assistance was given.
I wish to sincerely thank Mrs. Barton, Harry Cooper and the Board of Selectmen and all others, who in any way helped me during the year.

This year the Plainville Industrial Commission accepted an invi- tation to join a Regional Industrial Commission, composed of many towns in Southeastern Massachusetts, and found to better use the opportunities presented by having both Route 95 and 495 go through this area. A delegate from Plainville Commission has been attending monthly meetings of this group, which has, among other things, spon- sored an Industrial Seminar at Dean Junior College, for the purpose of bringing the various manufacturers of the area into contact with the many government procurement agencies.
We have met with the Planning Board, to hear an exposition by Blair Association on a Master Plan for Plainville, as this is a prime requisite in the attraction of new industry.
The Commission is the recipient of several inquiries by various industries which are interested in locating here, but until we have a Master Plan and industrial area set aside, it will be difficult to interest anyone seriously.
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN E. FARIA
Chairman

REPORT OF THE TOWN COUNSEL
Board of Selectmen
Gentlemen:
There are no cases presently pending in any Court, either for or against the Town.
The year of 1961 saw the close of the case of the New England Lightweight Aggregate Company, Inc. vs. Board of Selectmen.
The office of the Town Counsel was called upon to render opinions, draw instruments and approve forms and contracts.
With increased activity with the Town Departments and the modernizing and updating of systems, records, etc. I shall expect the office of the Town Counsel will be called upon more and more for opinions and advice.
I wish to express my appreciation to all the Town Departments for their splendid cooperation.
Respectfully submitted,
CHARLES R. MASON,
Town Counsel
