In the matter of staff salaries, a beginning has been made, but compensation at the public Library in Attleboro lags far behind that for comparable quali- fications in other lines of work. The minimum hiring salaries for new inex- perienced workers are much in excess of those now received by staff members of years of experience. The people of Attleboro expect superior service from intelligent, trained workers; such service is worthy of far better pay.
Since the library is a community institution, it would cease to function with- out community support, both official and unofficial. Officially the problems of mum apal finance, the budgets and appropriations are also the problems of the library. The library would welcome more frequent visits of municipal officials, not for the purpose of rehearsing budgetary lacks, but for the sin- cere desire to be of service to city officials as well as factories and schools and hospitals.
I is after all, a city library, and from many, many citizens have come gener- ous and kindly acts. Sometimes they take the form of material gifts, some- times they are intangible. The library and the city are richer by these gifts. Both individually and collectively, the library staff expresses thanks. In view of the portentous circumstances in which the year 1950 closes, it is hoped that the Public Library more than ever before will be able to fill its mission as a place of mental and spiritual stimulation and help.
"A system of culture from which meditation and choice are omitted is the exact regation of what we have hitherto called culture. Libraries are the san- ctuaries of the mind where man can realize his true stature" . Georges Duhamel.

REPORT OF THE CITY SOLICITOR
To the Mayor and Municipal Council:
The office of the City Solicitor during the year 1950 has been practically a full time position and the amount of work involved is attested to by the numerous problems which have arisen. during the course of the year.
There were many written opinions given by this office to the various departments throughout the city, along with numerous conferences and consultations.
The first zoning case commenced by the City to enforce and effectuate our zoning laws took place in 1950 and a decree was entered in fav- or of the Building Inspector, Joseph Mowry. At the present time, there are two more cases pending in the courts to enjoin parties from violating our zon- ing ordinance and there can be no doubt that there will be more filed if the zon- ing ordinance is to be enforced.
Several minor cases were disposed of by settlement or trial leaving the court docket cleared except for the following cases involving the City or City employees now pending in the Superior Court for Bristol County:
Joseph Mowry (Building Inspector) .v. Maria Anderson Joseph Mowry (Building Inspector) v. Harry Cooper Isabelle Smith and Arthur Smith v. City of Attleboro Sabourin et al v. LaCroix Topsall Finishing Company v. City of Attleboro Old Colony Advertising v. City of Attleboro Albert E. Truell v. City of Attleboro Fredette v. Wellman
There is no attempt in this report to review in detail all the legal works of the City Solicitor during the year 1950, but I do wish to express my gratitude to the Mayor and his secretarial staff, the Municipal Council, department heads, the Zoning and Planning Boards and the Building Inspector for their help and courtesy during the year.
Respectfully yours,
Francis M. Flaherty, City Solicitor.

Annual Report
To His Honor the Mayor and Municipal Council, Attleboro, Massachusetts.
Gentlemen:
The duties and work of The Servicemen's Rehabilitation and Reemployment Department of the city, due to present world conditions, have increased to a very large degree. The service men and women are each day learning the importance of keeping their government records up to date and also, through information from the department, are being informed that ap- plications needed for the many and varied forms required are available and can be executed from this office.
There are approximately 44 different forms dealing with veterans benefits which include benefits to wives, widows, disabled vets, ser- vice-connected disability, non-service connected disability, hospitalization, medical treatment, out patient treatment, widows' pensions, burial allowance, education and on the job training, correspondence courses and many other forms.
The insurance forms, which are important and becoming more so each day, total 30, such as renewal conversion, change of permanent plan, mode of payment, cash surrender value, reduction and loans, change of beneficiary, reinstatement, change of select of optional settlement and many others Also available at the office are bonus application blanks from states having passed the bonus laws.
A recent and extensive survey conducted through advertis- ing, contacting the Selective Service in Taunton and sending out questionnaires resulted in the office getting an almost complete list of men and women serv- ing the armed services in the present crisis. This list, added to the over 2000 names compiled from the last two conflicts, makes service and informa- tion available to veterans, their relatives and dependents.
Photostatic copies of discharges and other legal documents are printed at the office. A new law requiring all city help to be under Civil Service along with men seeking ratings, such as professional men, doctors and dentists, applying for officers' commission has added to the photostatic service to veterans.
The Servicemen's office is available for the signing up for Selective Service, all who are required by law to do so, the original status changes such as address, from single to married and other vital statistics

are executed at the office and sent directly to the Selective Service Board in Taunton. Veterans have been transported to and from hospitals. The office receives many calls for information as to veterans rehabilitation and through contact and cooperation we are able to comply with all reasonable requests.
The office is open from 8:30 A. M. until 5 P. M. with continual service available.

Annual Report
REPORT OF PUBLIC WORKS DEPT.
To His Honor the Mayor and the Honorable Municipal Council:
Gentlemen.
The detailed report of the work accomplished by this Depart- ment for the year 1950 is herewith submitted.
The work has been highly diversified and all improvements have been quite widely distributed as the particular job might require
Briefly, the major work completed outside of our regular maintenance is noted. The numerical quantities of each are shown in the appended detailed tabulations.
Brook Street drain from Dunham Street to Maple Street was completed, making considerable improvement in the ground water removal in this area, The street was also resurfaced with oil and gravel which will be sufficiently durable until replaced with a penetration surface after settlement of the fill has stopped.
Over ten miles of streets were resurfaced, many made necessary by the installation of water mains in the outlying districts. A sub- stantial length of streets were also oil treated, this being a routine mainten- ance operation,
Actual new street construction was a minimum, due to divert- ing men and equipment to other major projects, only two having been completed.
Parking lots were developed on Sanford Street on the old school building area, Union Street adjacent to the Fire Station and at the rear of the Sturdy Hospital.
Surface drainage has been improved in several areas as shown by the construction schedule.
The sewer extension built by City forces to service the Veterans' Multiple Housing Development was carried to completion through a very difficult terrain, being eleven feet deep for a substantial distance, at a considerable saving over an estimated contract price.
The total water main extension both by contract and by city forces was 11 02 miles, with a total of 282 new house services having been placed
Nearly all old wooden guard fence has been replaced by con-
39

Annual Report
crete posts and wire cable. Bridge maintenance has been held to a minimum in anticipation of completely redecking some with an asphalt plank wearing surface. This work will be done with the cooperation of the N. Y. N. H., & H. R. R. forces as is the usual practice.
The usual yearly sidewalk and curbing schedule completed by contract, added nearly one mile of concrete sidewalk and curbing which is a notable improvement to adjacent property as well as allowing gutter sweeping in these added areas.
Considering the many different problems and wide scope of the duties confronting the Department, it would seem that the personnel in- volved have performed very creditably with a distinct benefit to the several areas wherein the work was carried to completion.
There are several recommendations for future improvements that I wish to make, obviously, all cannot be done in the next year but all should be considered and a progressive schedule should be worked out for each year, whereby one major and perhaps several smaller projects could be carried to completion.
First, and most important is water supply. Either an add- itional standpipe of 1.5 million gallons capacity or a reservoir of double that capacity for pump supply should be constructed and this detail should be given immediate study, The West Street station should be modernized by the in- stallation of substitute power for pumping, plus adequate controlling and recording devices for the best utilization of the present water supply.
A dam and reservoir should be developed on the Seven Mile River in the Oldtown area, also, Manchester Pond could well be devel- oped for additional storage on the Four Mile River.
New wells and increased filter bed area and a dam replace- ment should be carried on at the Wading River station to develop this supply to an estimated delivery of 2.5 million gallons per day. It is intended to operate this station twenty-four hours per day after re-electrification has been completed.
To properly house the trucks and equipment of the High- way and Water Department an addition should be made to the present high- way garage with a second-story addition for Water Department material storage, a shop, and meter repair department.
An open shed should be erected to house the truck snow- plows so that the drivers will not have to hook up plows in the storm. Pro- tection would be advantageous both for the health and well being of the men as well as saving time.

Annual Report
Our heavy equipment is adequate and in very good condition, but another five-yard truck should be purchased, several old two-yard trucks should be replaced as well as four pick-up trucks for both Departments, which are definitely too old and are only running because of the exceptional ability of our repair division.
The old Huber 12-ton road roller should be replaced with a tandem roller of equal weight for construction of penetration and sheet asphalt pavements.
A program of replacement for gravel and oil streets with penetration type pavement or in some locations, especially in residential areas, a surface of sheet asphalt, similar to that on Pleasant Street, should be con- structed. This construction, while having a very pleasing appearance is very durable and is easier to sweep and clean.
A light car of the so-called Beach Wagon type, should be purchased for the use of the Engineers in the field. This unit would not only safeguard the expensive equipment in transit, but would provide a field desk area for such work as may be required on the job. All Massachusetts Depart- ment of Public Works field parties are provided with similar transportation.
The operating personnel of the Public Works Department should be divided into groups as required under a sub foreman for the sever- al kinds of work carried on: i. e., newly accepted street construction, re- construction of old street surface, oiling and maintenance, cleaning of catch- basins and drain lines, also sewer main cleaning and maintenance. I intend as time will permit, that every manhole on the trunk line sewers between the City proper and the sewer beds will be located and repaired when necessary, and there are many needing attention, with the intention of decreasing the infilteration of ground water, thereby reducing the work load on the new sewerage filter beds.
A small gyratory crusher should be installed to reduce our crushed stone to so-called buck-wheat size for the cover application on road- way sealing work.
A portable chlorine feeder should be available in the event of a serious water main failure to safeguard the water supply in case of pollution.
Read Street at the rear of the Braid Mill, so-called, should be relocated from West Street to a point near the entrance to the old Wood Farm, which would improve the alignment considerably.
The old plank and timber bridge over the Seven Mile River must be rebuilt in 1951. Therefore, the street should be relocated at an early
41
Annual Report
date to allow the construction of a new bridge or arch type culvert at the proper location.
Since the recommendations could go on endlessly, it is hoped that some of the more pressing needs which affect the welfare of the entire community, can be carried to completion within a reasonable time, aided by the forwarding thinking of our Municipal Government.
My sincere thanks is extended to His Honor, the Mayor, the members of the Municipal Council, Department Heads. Department employees and all others who have aided this Department in carrying out a greatly aug- mented program in the past year.
