Annual Report
Report of the Fire Alarm Superintendent continued-
Finally, through the efforts of our present Mayor, Cyril K. Brennan, and most members of the Municipal Council definite action was taken and the necessary funds appropriated to modernize the old Union Street Fire Station, add to it and install a modern Form-4 fire alarm system.
As previously stated, the new station and fire alarm were placed in official service on May 1, 1960 and so dedicated. I am of the opinion that the new fire alarm system will efficiently and economically serve the city for a long period of years.

During the year, many persons have been apprehended by this department who had performed electrical work without permits and the proper licenses. The mem- bers of the staff of the State Examiners of Electricians were of great assistance in these matters. Many jobs done by so-called fly-by-night contractors were investi- gated and the contractors were forced to hire properly licensed men to complete the work to the satisfaction of the property owners.
At this time, I wish to extend my sincere thanks to His Honor, the Mayor, the Municipal Council, the Building Inspector, members of the Fire Department, Police Department and all who in any manner contributed their assistance toward the success- ful operation of this department for the year 1960.
William S. King Electrical Inspector City of Attleboro.

Annual Report
REPORT OF THE RECREATION COMMISSION 1960
To His Honor the Mayor and the Honorable Municipal Council:
During the year 1960, all the athletic fields and playgrounds in charge of the Recreation Commission were maintained in the usual manner and the ordinary work of the department was carried out.
Hayward Field was in good condition for the High School activities during the year and was again used for graduation exercises. The Recreation Depart- ment won praise from the High School Faculty for its excellent cooperation dur- ing the school months.
Work was started on the roof of the grandstand but was discontinued until spring. The Thanksgiving football game was played at Hayward Field this year.
Horton Field was used by Mr Cooney and his group from grade school and again for softball by the Industrial League.
Finberg Park, Hebronville, Dodgeville, and South Attleboro were used largely for Little League, Their games received favorable comment from their sponsors and supporters.
Briggs Playground activities vere handled in the usual manner under the leader- ship of Howard Rounseville, Marsha Hull, William Liberatore and Ralph Tomei.
Mr. Cooney conducted classes for swimming instruction. These classes were sponsored as usual by the Red Cross. These classes were highly attended and in- cluded a large group from South Aitlecoro taking part.
The season ended late in August with the usual Water Festival at which time prizes were awarded and refreshments served,
The fields were maintained by William Corrigan and William Guilbeault.
Respectfully submitted William Liddell Jr. Chairman Russell G. Marsden Thomas Dube Walter White

Annual Report
REPORT OF THE PARK DEPARTMENT 1960
To the Board of Park Commissioners Attleboro, Massachusetts
Gentlemen:
I herewith submit my 15th annual report as Superintendent of Capron Park for 1960.
What can I say about Capron Park that has not been said in previous reports?
We mow the lawns, plant and weed the flower beds, prime and spray the roses, water and maintain the tennis courts, keep a clean safe playground, have a band concert on Sundays. Thousands of people come for picnics and to visit the zoo and enjoy the playground with their children and go away satisfied, after see- ing what we have, not realizing the many things we are sorely in need of to make Capron Park something we can be really proud of.
Let's stop and consider not only the present but the future -- fifteen to twenty- five years. As Charles Kettering of General Motors said "We must look to the future for there is where we expect to spend the balance of our lives. " and as the years catch up to us in the not too distant future what we plan now and have then will be recognized as real sound planning and farsightedness on our part.
We must not allow any more land grabbing and should have the grounds we care for now so designated as under the supervision of the Park Commission. The land will still belong to the city, but will be out of the hands of the politicians.
The Frank R. Sweet Forest is fast becoming a favorite picnic ground. The work we have accomplished is beginning to show and I predict in another five years we will have to reserve tables and also limit the time of use.
The new High School and the proposed Balfour Industrial Park will tax our facilities to the utmost and we should be preparing now for the added use we will receive.
Serious consideration should be given to the building of a municipal swimming pool and also to a multiple use ice skating rink.
My thanks to Russell Tennant for the many favors to our department without which we could not survive. To Bill King and Harold Wellman, Chief Packard and Chief Marron, and other city departments -- thank you all. To the Mayor and the City Council, my thanks for your support. To the Park Commissioners for your loyal support and counsel, with which I could not do without.
Respectfully yours
Robert W. Sharkey

Annual Report
REPORT OF THE CITY TREASURER 1960
To His Honor the Mayor and Members of the Municipal Council
Gentlemen:
During 1960, your Treasurer saw fit to invest idle funds which resulted in interest or dividends of approximately $17, 000. 00 being deposited to the city's bank account.
The immediate problem of the Treasurer's office is concerned with the need of additional clerical help to assist the regular staff in the work load en- tailed with the keeping of proper records in regard to Health and Life Insur- ance, State Withholding Taxes and the United Fund. I do hope this matter will be given proper consideration in the next Municipal Budget.
Respectfully submitted Edward J. Healey City Treasurer.

REPORT OF THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT 1960
To His Honor, the Mayor, and the Municipal Council:
Gentlemen:
This Department has accomplished much varied work required by routine op- eration for the year 1960 which is tabulated herewith with a description of the more interesting activities.
Resurfacing work by the Highway Department included several streets that were opened for water main and sewer installations. Many more were replaced because of old surface failure due to increased traffic and inadequate construction design originally. Also several streets were resurfaced with Dix Seal.
Several drain jobs are tabulated herewith.
Several sewer construction jobs were installed as listed.
Water main extensions and services were placed as required by the several plat developers building new homes in various areas.
Much of our motor equipment is quite old and it is recommended they be replaced.
To all persons who by their act, suggestions and cooperation have aided this department in any way I extend my sincere appreciation.
Respectfully submitted Russell F. Tennant Supertinendent of Public Works.
