Mr. Angus J. MacNeil was engaged to bring the Zoning Map up to date.
The problem of parking space for shoppers is a very vital one for the merchants of our city, and its general welfare. We hope that both merchants, manufacturers and property owners will help in the solution of this problem by planning future construction with a view to providing adequate and convenient parking space for their prospective customers and employees. The city cannot be expected to do it all, and those who have had the foresight to provide parking space for customers and employees should be highly appreciated.

The following suggestions are offered for your considera-
tion - First: (a) That an appropriation be made to cover the cost of having plats made for those parts of the City which are not now platted and - (b) That a sufficient sum also be given consideration for the purpose of bringing the pre- sent plats to conform to the deeds of record.
Second: State and Town lines are not well established because of this and lack of plats. We have much difficulty in determining on which side of the line buildings erected close to the line are located. Consequently, we be- lieve bound stones should be placed so that lines can be determined.
Third: We believe that some privacy should be provided for those who wish to converse with the Assessors on their tax problems and we suggest that a room be provided for this purpose. We are now using the consultation room in the Mayor's office, which is many times detrimental to his use.
Our thanks is hereby expressed to all departments for their kind cooperation all through the year.

Annual Report
REPORT OF THE HOUSING AUTHORITY FOR THE CITY OF ATTLEBORO-1950
Mayor of the City of Attleboro and Members of the Municipal Council Attleboro, Massachusetts.
Gentlemen:
We submit the following annual report of the Attleboro Hous- ing Authority for the calendar year 1950.
The year 1950 was a year of growing pains for the Authority. Thirty-one single family houses had been completed in 1949 and final arrange- ments for leasing and occupancy were completed late in 1949 and in the early months of 1950. All tenants have signed leases with an option to purchase in five years. There has been no change in occupancy. With the present rise in prices, the option to purchase at the end of the five-year period will be even more desirable.
The development has been landscaped with grass and small plants. The Authority has requested the Municipal Council to take the necess- ary steps to make the streets of the development public streets. Prompt ac- tion by the City is hoped for as these streets were built by the City under regu- lar City supervision before the Attleboro Housing Authority built the houses.
There is a real underground water problem in several of the
houses. The firm of Clevertan, Varney and Pike, engineers of Boston, re- viewed the situation and submitted a report recommending regrading for some of the houses and recommending specific treatment to take care of underground water pressure. ( several of the others the contractor has agreed to perform the necessary corrective regrading, but the solution where there is underground water pressure is expensive. This has caused a great deal of difficulty with septic tanks and proper sewage disposal. The best ultimate solution appears to be to install sewers and this problem is being discussed with City officials.
The veterans living in the Hillcrest Oaks single-family houses have shown real interest in the development. They have formed a `Hillcrest Veterans Club for their own social life and for the mutual benefit of the project.
The multiple homes started in December, 1949, are still in construction. The expected completion in the Fall of 1950 was delayed because of the controversy concerning electric wiring. The local inspector requeste. wiring in conduit, but the State Housing Board refused to pay the extra cost amounting to more than $20,000 and insisted that Romex wiring as specified was perfectly safe for this type of construction. A conference was held in City Hall in June, 1950, between members of the Authority and interested officials,
76
Annual Report
but the local wiring ingpertor declined to change his request, despite a ruling by the City Solicitor that the permit must be issued for Romex wiring. As a result the Authority went to the Superior Court and after some delay, because the Courts were not in session during the summer, secured an order requiring the issuance of a permit. After that order was issued the local wiring inspec- tor filed a written regulation requiring the use of conduit and the State wiring inspector threatened the electrician with the loss of his license if he went ahead with Romex. Court action was again necessary and early in November the Court issued an order enjoining both local and State officials from interfer- ing with wiring in Romex. Construction began again. Delays were encountered because of difficulties between the general contractor and his sub-contractor for site work. That controversy was preventing rapid progress at the end of the year. Occupancy is expected during the latter part of 1951. The Authority expects to start taking applications for these homes some time late in the sum- mer. Each application will be carefully checked, both as to income of the fam- ily and as to present quarters. A personal visit will be made by a representa- tive of thr Acho. try to the present quarters before any selections are made. Rend is will be limited to veterans with a preference to veterans of World War II. There will be a cop family income for admittance with an allowance for in- crease in income. Rents will be based on income and will increase as income decreases.
The Authority is authorized under Massachusetts law to en- gage in clearance of bad housing areas to permit the land in the center of Attleboro to be put to better uses. The Federal Government will bear two-thirds of the loss involved in taking over such land, razing the bad buildings and then turning the land over to persons who will build structures which will bring a much higher revenue to the City. The Federal Government will make a loan of $10,000 to the Authority to make the necessary studies, and this loan, not an ob- ligation of the City will become a grant, if no redevelopment project proves feasible. The Authority has sent a recommendation to the Municipal Council, which recommendation was concurred in by the Planning Board, requesting approv- al of its application for a reservation of capital grants by the Federal Govern- ment and has also requested approval of its application for the preliminary loan of $10,000 to make the necessary planning studies.
The Authority also has a reservation of 75 dwelling units to be built under the low-rent income housing program. The total expense of this program will be met by the Federal Government.
Twelve regular monthly meetings and three special meetings were held during 1950. There were many other conferences with contractors, City officials, State Officials and Federal officials in connection with the work of the Authority.

Annual Report
REPORT OF THE CITY FORESTER 1950
To His Honor, the Mayor, and the Municipal Council:
Gentlemen:
I herewith submit the report of the Forestry Department for the year ending December 31, 1950.
The Forestry Department has been engaged in its usual routine activities :.
Roadside brush cutting Spraying for the gypsy moth and the elm leaf beetle Removal of dangerous limbs and decayed trees
The most serious problem facing the Forestry Department this year has been the approach of the Dutch Elm disease to this vicinity. Although no Attleboro trees have been thus far afflicted, it is certain that they will be unless extreme care and caution is exercised not only by this Department, but by all the residents of the city. According to the agri- cultural experts of a nearby state, this desease, with proper sanitation and proper spraying, can be controlled or restricted. Young men are needed for climbing trees. Military service needs young men, too. Greater efforts in this emergency will call for a greater expenditure of time and money. Are your elms worth it ?
This has been the third year of our tree planting program. Already., the young trees previously set out have begun to add beauty to our city. We are glad that this plan continues to receive popular approval.
Respectfully submitted, Warren P. Hofmann, City Forester.

REPORT OF CUSTODIAN OF PROPERTY 1950
Honorable Cyril K. Brennan Mayor of City of Attleboro City Hall Attleboro, Massachusetts
Dear Mr. Mayor:
The function of this office in selling City property acquired by the foreclosure of Tax Titles has been keeping pace with the desires of people buying land for building purposes and gardens.
I have been successful in making many sales, advantageously for the City, with the consent of the Honorable Members of the Munici- pal Council with the approval of the Mayor's office.
Each year I sell many parcels of land which have been non-tax producing and which effectively place them back on the rolls of taxable property and in most instance new valuation inures to the benefit of the City by the buildings placed thereon.
I still have many parcels of desirable land for building pur- poses; many parcels are added each year by the City Treasurer. My office is open to the public at all times for inquiry regarding same.
I wish to thank the Finance Committee, the Assessor's office and the Treasurer's office for their kind assistance in working closely with me in the performance of my duties.
Respectfully submitted,
Henry Rotenberg Custodian of Property Acquired by the Foreclosure of Tax Titles.

The total amount to City Treasurer for permits $1333
The total amount appropriated and expended $750 Making an asset of this Department of $583

Numerous violations of the Zoning Ordinance have been investigated and corrected. Other violations continue and have been given to the City Solicitor for prosecution. If these violations are allowed to continue it will be impossible to enforce the Zoning Ordinance.
Recommendations
The acting Building Inspector did not receive the one hundred dollar wage increase enjoyed by other departments in 1950. I therefore request an increase for the year 1951.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF MANAGERS STURDY MEMORIAL HOSPITAL
To His Honor, the Mayor, the Municipal Council and Trustees of Attleborough Hospital:
The Board of Managers operating the Sturdy Memorial Hospi- tal submit the following report for the 38th year of the Hospital.
During the year there were 5,394 in -patients, together with 6,026 out-patients, or a total of 11,420, an all-time high. This represents a total number of patient days of 43,293 against 40,063 in 1949.
There were 599 ward cases admitted, which represents a con- siderable contribution on the part of our staff for free medical and surgical care. It also represents a cost to the Hospital of $6.00 per person per day over and above that which the patient contributes.
It is the first year in the operation of this institution that the adult population has averaged as high as 100 patients per day throughout the year. Our daily average of all patients was 118.61 every day as against 109.75 in 1949.
During the year 1036 babies were brought into the world in our maternity department.
You will be interested to know that 2,222 patients treated at the Hospital were residents of the City of Attleboro which represent 41.1% of our total number of patients. 903 came from North Attleboro and Attleboro Falls representing 17.3%.

Annual Report
It was the hope of your Board of Managers that we could pre- sent an operating statement at the close of the year that would indicate no fi - nancial deficit for the period However, costs have risen so phenominally since September that we show a lost of $7.469.45.
