Additional Report.


$388.32 tax, stamp excise tax, was committed to me for collection ; $32.67 was collected, when the courts decided the tax was illegal.


This completes my eighth annual report as your Col- lector of Taxes, in which time you have committed to me for collection, over a million and a quarter of dollars.


From a period beginning, when I first undertook your collections, at which time I found from 50% to 60% col- lected of a levy on Jan. I, we last year reached what was believed to be high water mark, i. e. 92%.


This year I am pleased to report, you have reached the rather remarkable figure of 94%, a figure which but few towns or cities, in this Commonwealth, attain.

Recommendations.


We would recommend the purchase of 2,000 feet of hose.


We would recommend the purchase of two two-way deluge sets.


We would recommend that the fire alarm wires be placed under ground in the centre of the town, providing the town can secure a duct of the telephone company for the same.


We would recommend that the engineers appoint two more permanent men, one on Hose Company No. I, and one on Hook and Ladder Company No. I. By so doing we believe, we can strengthen the department more than in any other way for the same expense.


During the last year we have had a great number of woods fires, where quite a large loss has occurred. We believe the town should take action to put a stop to this waste of property. We think the number of these fires can be reduced one-half by the town offering a reward for the arrest and conviction of any person setting fires, either intentionally or carelessly.

ANNUAL REPORT.


In conclusion we extend our thanks to the officers and members of the department for their prompt response to alarms and the interest shown in extinguishing fires. Respectfully submitted, H. R. PACKARD, Chief ; JAMES HOWARTH, E. V. HICKS, Clerk ; Board of Engineers.


Report of the Sealer of Weights and Measures.


To the Selectmen of Attleborough :


Gentlemen :- I commenced to perform the duties of Sealer of Weights and Measures April 27, 1905, conse- quently my report covers only about nine months of service.


I assumed the duties of the position with only a meagre knowledge of the requirements of law which were incumbent upon me, consequently I have yet much to learn by experience.


Thus far in the performance of my duties I have visited some eighty places in town where scales and measures were used in buying and selling merchandise, and have sealed 148 scales and balances in the different places which I have visited.


Among the "tin measures" which I have tested only a small per cent. were found to vary from the standard.


There are to my knowledge some six or eight places located from one to three miles from our town centre, which I have not as yet visited.


I have sealed 3,337 milk jars, varying in size from 1/2 pt. to 3 pts., and I have refused to seal about 200, which were found deficient in size.


Respectfully submitted,


A. T. WALES,


Sealer of Weights and Measures.


Report of the Inspector of Kerosene Oil.


To the Selectmen of Attleborough :


Gentlemen :- I have not found among the dealers in Attleborough but one manufacture of "kerosene oil" and that is the product of the Standard Oil Company. I have tested it on several occasions and find the flashing point far above the requirement of State law.


A. T. WALES, Inspector of Kerosene Oil.


Report of the Inspector of Cattle, Provisions and Milk.


To the Honorable Board of Selectmen of Attleborough :


Gentlemen :- I herewith submit my fifth annual report as Cattle and Milk Inspector for the year ending De- cember 31, 1905.


I made a thorough inspection of all the horned cattle and swine in town in October.


Visits have been made to 189 stables where 904 cows, 4 oxen, 138 young cattle, 26 bulls and 984. swine were examined.


I not only made a thorough inspection in October, but have been looking them up every month for the last year with the result that there has been 32 cows con- demned and killed by the Cattle Bureau of the State Board of Agriculture under suspicion of having the disease known as Tuberculosis. They all upon exami- nation were found to have the disease and the owners were paid by the State what they considered a fair price.


There has been one horse quarantined, condemned and shot here in town that had the disease known as farcy, which is one form of glanders.


I have inspected and released 258 cows this year brought into town from Maine, New Hampshire, Ver- mont and New York State.


I have sold 67 licenses this year to sell milk, which is 4 more than I sold last year.


89


ANNUAL REPORT.


I have heard very little complaint this year and I think the milk brought into town the last year on the whole has been very good.


Respectfully submitted, CALEB E. PARMENTER, Inspector.


Report of the Park Commissioners for 1905.


To the Citizens of Attleborough :


We are glad to report that we have been able to put into usable and finished shape, a larger area of Capron Park than in any previous year. By "finished shape" we do not mean to include the beautifying of the grounds by means of shrubs and flowers, but that the ground has been cleared of stones, roots and underbrush, and brought to a good condition for turf, that the existing trees have been neatly trimmed, and that in the spaces where trees were sparse and obviously needed, more have been planted.


There is a constant temptation to make outlay for flowers and shrubs, but we feel that the public will be best served by using the appropriations of the next few years for clearing the remainder of the Park in the same manner as is now done in the neighborhood of the streets bordering the Park. When this clearing is com- pleted there will be a considerable length of pleasant walks which can then be beautified with flowers, shrub- bery and other special features, and a very reasonable expenditure will make Capron Park a very attractive feature of the Town.


We are following a predetermined plan in the layout of the roads, and so far as they lay within the limits of our finished work, have brought them to self draining grades, and covered them with gravel after excavating the subsoil contained in them. In time, no doubt, our


91


ANNUAL REPORT.


successors will make them fine macadamized roads, but the cost of the clearing work precludes that for the pres- ent.


Each succeeding year a little larger proportion of our appropriation goes toward keeping in good shape the increasing reclaimed area of the Park, and should be al- lowed for in viewing the work of the Commissioners.


Last winter was an exceptionally hard one for young trees, and quite a few of those planted last fall had to be replaced this spring, and here we are pleased to ac- knowledge the prompt courtesy of the Seabrook Nur- sery people in replacing those that died, which we ob- tained from them.


The "Bushee" pine grove was partially cleared up this season, and we hope next year to complete the work.


The question of keeping the Casino building open to the public at all times is constantly recurring and there seems to be no economical way of doing it without de- voting it to the sale of cigars, drinks, etc., on Sundays, and Sunday selling has been seriously objected to by some of our citizens. During the season of the Park work the building is kept open during the working hours, and on Sundays it has been open the greater part of the day all summer long. The Commissioners are unable to find desirable parties willing to devote their attendance to the building for the selling privilege, with Sunday selling excluded. Very soon the care of the Park will require the constant attention of a man, and then it can be a part of his duties to keep the building open at all desirable times, and this problem will be solved. For the present, however, we feel that perhaps it is best to continue as we are now doing.


At the last annual Town Meeting you voted $1,200 to be expended for a fountain basin, and it has enabled us to install a very creditable one which has an inside diameter of 38 feet. It is circular in form, with a finely dressed granite coping, and has a water-proofed concrete bottom. The proper drainage and supply piping are in- stalled, the supply piping being amply large to serve any


92


ANNUAL REPORT.


fountain which may be installed. And here we would suggest that a fountain for this basin is a means of com- memoration open to our public minded citizens of means, which would be largely appreciated by all. The basin is on a small knoll near County street, to the west of the Casino building, and the knoll has been graded to make a walkway about the basin, and a few trees planted around the outer side of the walkway. It is proposed that when the trees get of sufficient size to afford shade, seats be installed under them.


We would draw your attention again to the fact that while we have in the present Capron Park an excellent beginning, we cannot afford to lose sight of the fact that it is too small to long be in keeping with the growth of the Town, and that the longer we take to obtain more land the larger will be the expense of acquisition. The land adjacent to the Park, which lies upon the highways, is even now expensive, and it is but a short while ahead to the time when streets will be cut through what is now rear land, and this in turn will also be expensive land. When the Park can be extended at a reasonable price the Town should not hesitate to acquire the necessary land. It may be feasible to reduce the cost of the new land by selling the portion which might lie upon the present highways, and building new highways in the new land to accommodate the Park, these new highways being made about parallel to the old ones. This would give two tiers of lots between the new and old streets, would leave the Park with undiminished highway facilities, and would enable the Town to materially re- duce the cost of new land with little loss in area.

Report of the Superintendent of Streets.


To the Honorable Board of Selectmen of the Town of Attleborough :


The following is a summary of the work done on our highways in the past year :


Although the general appropriation for the highways was $2,000.00 less this past year than that of 1904, the total amount expended, including appropriations for a large number of streets, was more than ever before; consequently a more lengthy report.


A part of Thacher and Tiffany streets have been im- proved by the waterworks depositing a large amount of gravel in the low places, thus raising the grade with no expense to the highway department. Also 900 feet of South Main street has been gravelled and 400 feet of Orange street macadamized, curbed and sidewalks built at the expense of the Interstate Consolidated Street Railway Company.


There has been no change in the division foremen from last year.


It was found necessary to do considerable repairs on the road roller and crusher, and now they are in good condition. The work of repairing these machines was done by a representative of the Good Roads Machinery Company. Also a new floor has been laid in the barn. There are seven permanent men employed.


The stock and tools consist of :
