REPORT OF THE INSPECTOR OF ANIMALS
Dr. Jesse W. Battershall Health Officer
December 31, 1943
Attleboro, Mass.
Dear Doctor:
I herewith submit my twenty-second annual report as Inspector of Animals for the year ending December 31, 1943.
On instructions from the Director of Livestock Disease Control, no yearly in- spection of animals was made this year, but in its stead a survey of the available milk supply was made to ascertain a possible milk shortage.
I found 100 more dairy cows than in previous inspections and 92 more young animals.
There has been a large increase in the number of pigs raised for individual slaughter.
Very truly yours,
(signed) Frederick L. Briggs, D. V. M.

To the late Dr. Ralph P. Kent, we take this opportunity to briefly state our appreciation for the years of service he gave to the Department and its members. He served without compensation and in addition to his other arduous duties he never failed us when the Department had a bad fire and needed his services.
The City has lost an efficient Public Servant and we, the members of the Fire Department have lost a real friend that cannot be replaced.

Report of Superintendent of Fire Alarm
To the Board of Fire Engineers,
Fire Department,
Attleboro, Mass.
Dear Sirs,
In filing the annual report of this department we have been requested to con- dense the contents of the report to a minimum.
The Fire Alarm system is in good working order and no major additions have been made to it during the past year, Numerous changes have been made to new poles set by the Utilities throughout the city.
Along the lines of a Post-War Program, may we suggest that some thought be given toward erecting a small isolated building to house the Fire Alarm apparatus and increasing our number of circuits and fire alarm boxes.
In conclusion, we wish at this time to extend our thanks and appreciation to the Board of Fire Engineers, the officers and men of the Fire amd Police Depart- ments and all other Municipal Departments who have aided in the operation of this branch.
Respectfully submitted, William S. King Superintendent of Fire Alarm
Report of Inspector of Wires
January 11, 1944
To His Honor, the Mayor and the Municipal Council of the City of Attleboro, Massachusetts.
Gentlemen :-
In submitting the annual report of this department for the year 1943 we will make it as brief as possible owing to existing conditions.
173 permits for new wiring have been issued and 231 inspections. 960 per- mits for meter changes and 1280 re-inspections have been completed.
In general most of the electrical work in the city has been confined to the nu- merous plants in the city proper and very little work has been done in homes.
In conclusion, I wish to extend my sincere thanks and appreciation to His Honor, the Mayor, the Municipal Council, members of the Police and Fire De- partments and all who in any way contributed their assistance toward the opera- tion of this department for the year 1943.
Respectfully submitted, William S. King Electrical Inspector, City of Attleboro, Mass.

ANNUAL REPORT
Report of the Public Library
February 1, 1944
To The Mayor and Council of the City of Attleboro,
Gentlemen,
The report of the Librarian gives you in a condensed detail the operations of the Library.
Your board has held its regular meetings, together with special sessions and off the record check ups and discussions, to help as much as possible with the many problems which necessarily arise due to the conditions at this time with which we all have to contend.
Readjustments due to changes in personnel and lack of trained workers as well as changes in schedules of working hours due to lack of fuel and preparation for black out regulations, have hindered greatly in a satisfactory forward progress.
A noticeable trend has been toward social, economic and studious factors rather than the escape literature and the staff have been a great help in directing and making such material available to the patrons.
The staff has worked with untiring loyalty under very trying conditions and we wish to go on record with very sincere thanks to them for the almost unsur- mountable difficulties which they have patiently overcome.
Respectfully submitted,
Ethel H. Barden, Secretary Board of Directors, Attleboro Public Library, Joseph L. Sweet Memorial
To the Mayor and Council of the City of Attleboro
Gentlemen:
CHANGE is the word to epitomize the activities of the Attleboro Public Library in 1943.
Change in hours- -
To conserve fuel home work assignments took care of some of the tasks during the three months period when twenty-seven days were deducted from the hours of opening. Leaks in roof and burst pipes made drastic cuts in the ser- vice at Tiffany and South Attleboro Branches.
Change in personnel-
Salary scale far below minimum offered for inexperienced and untrained workers in other fields, resulted in resignations and constant unrest among workers who remain from a sense of ioyaity.
Change in clientel-
Fewer men readers-about one-half as many new male borrowers registered as in 1940.
42
ANNUAL REPORT
Change in material requested-
Very little escape reading. Fewer books read-35.9 per cent less of circula- tion over 1940-but growing demand for material on background of war, so- cial and economic problems and books to help individual work out personal philosophy and make the complex adjustments required by living in a world at war, and general trend toward books for developing maturity of mind and emotion.

Report of Superintendent of Parks
To the Board of Park Commissioners, Attleboro, Mass.
I herewith submit my nineteenth annual report as Superintendent of Parks for the year ending December 31, 1943.
Our regular work of maintaining the care of Capron Park, Common, Blackin- ton Park, Angell Park, and the triangle at Hebronville kept the regular employees busy working overtime, taking care of lawns, flower beds, rock gardens and the vegetable garden at the City Infirmary.
The vegetable garden produced 150 bushels for the animals at the Capron Park Zoo.
The Park playground and swimming pool had an increase in attendance over last year mostly smaller children, many of the children would come to the park in the morning, bring their dinner and stay all day as the parents were both working.
Joseph J. Bono boys Supervisor was drafted after serving six weeks thereafter, Ruth Bassler took over both boys and girls supervision with what help the Super- intendent could give her.
The 5 band concerts were well attended and apreciated by all, and I recom- mend that we have 5 or 6 concerts in 1944.
My other recommendations for park improvements have gone to the Post War Committee, to be acted on after the war is over, and material and labor will be more available.
I wish to express my thanks to His Honor, the Mayor, and to the Park Com- missioners for their help and cooperation at all times, also the Chief of Police and Officers for service extended to the Park department when needed.
