TOWN REPORT
REPORT OF THE POLICE DEPARTMENT
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :-
Gentlemen,
As Chief of the Police Department of the Town of Mer- rimac, I hereby submit the annual report of the Department for the year 1935 :
The general business and routine work of the Depart- ment is about the same as in previous years.
The department consists of a chief and one patrolman on regular duty, with five special officers for duty as occa- sion requires.
During the year the sum of $958.00 was returned to the Town in Court fines, through the efforts of this department.
In the year just ended there were 24 auto accidents re- ported, in which 27 persons were injured and one killed.
In the early fall the car tracks were removed from Main Street and the surface of the street renewed, causing automobile operators to have a tendency to increase speed. This has, and will, require constant supervision in order to curb this growing menace. To date, disciplinary action has been taken against numerous operators for this offence. -
The department has kept within its appropriation and ended the year with a small balance.

TOWN TREASURER'S REPORT
To the Citizens of Merrimac :
During the year of 1935 all payments on maturing debt and temporary loans have been met when due as usual. The total outstanding funded debt as of December 31, 1935 was $12,800.00.
Satisfactory rates were obtained on tax anticipation loans throughout the year and the interest appropriation showed an unexpended balance of $684.14.

TOWN REPORT
ANNUAL REPORT OF PLAYGROUND COMMISSIONERS To the Citizens of the Town of Merrimac :
The Playground Commissioners herein submit their fourth annual report for the year ending December 31, 1935.
There was no money spent this year.
We wish to thank a group of Junior High boys who: assisted in rolling the field at the beginning of the season also a group of men who at various times cut the grass in the infield with lawnmowers.
We also wish to thank Willard T. Kelley for use of lumber for the goal posts for the Girls' Field Hockey team.
It seems too bad that when a person is kind enough to lend some lumber to add to the enjoyment and pleasure of the school students that the boys cannot refrain from destroying it on Hallowe'en.
It would be very convenient if a small sum of money was made available for use by the commission to purchase supplies for small improvements, therefore we recommend that the sum of $25.00 be raised and appropriated for this purpose in the year 1936.
Respectfully submitted,
HOMER R. SARGENT RAYMOND J. BAGLEY

TOWN REPORT
REPORT OF TRUSTEES OF CEMETERIES
To the Selectmen and Citizens of Merrimac:
Another year has passed and we are called upon to tell our fellow citizens what we have done with the funds they have entrusted to our care.
We are glad to do this for we feel that we have ob- tained good results from the money spent.
We have taken the usual care of the original grounds and have had more ERA money with which we have re- moved stumps and rocks from the new addition on top of Locust Grove hill and have seeded it down and have ob- tained a good catch of grass.
We have had a plan made, so that we may be able to offer lots for sale this Summer.
We have decided to sell these lots at a price which will include Perpetual Care, so that there will be no uncared for lots to mar the appearance of a large lawn.
At the lower side of our property we have something of a problem in the water which flows across this part of the cemetery from a bog hole outside of our land.
This calls for a money outlay for drain tile which we do not feel like asking the town to furnish, in view of the present high tax rate, but we have asked for government aid which was granted last fall, on a project which also included rebuilding the stone walls on four sides of the cemetery, gravel on drives, also several other improvements, but when we were expecting every day to receive word to start work we were informed that everything had been postponed until March.
It is perhaps needless for us to say that we were as- tounded, when upon inquiry we found that some one had been to Salem and caused the whole project to be shelved unknown to us, the sponsors.
We hope for action in the Spring but we can never tell how long the money will continue to come.
47
TOWN REPORT
If we can get this section worked, it will open up a fine tract.
We have asked for a project for the other two cemeter- ies to be worked next Summer which if granted will greatly improve these also.
RICHARD A. SARGENT, CLARENCE O. LIBBY, CHAS. A. LANCASTER, Cemetery Trustees.
REPORT OF TRUSTEES OF PUBLIC LIBRARY
The Trustees of the Merrimac Public Library submit this their fifty-ninth annual report.
The financial report of the library is included in the Town Accountant's report.
The interest in the library has been very well main- tained, although not quite as many books were circulated as last year. The circulation this year was 18,138 volumes, of which 1,036 were non-fiction.
The fines collected, amounting to $90.17, were turned, over to the Town Treasurer.
Under the ERA a project was started to catalogue and repair the books in the library, and to index maps, pamph- lets and other material. Unfortunately, for some reason or other, this project could not be transferred to the WPA and as a result is about 70 percent completed.
During the year there were 329 books added to the library, and the trustees wish to thank the following who donated either books or periodicals: Mrs. Harry Worcester, Miss S. I. Sayre, Mr. A. F. Heath, Commonwealth of Mas- sachusetts, Chemical Foundation of New York, Mr. John Deere, Mr. Cecil Welch and the publishers of the follow- ing magazines and papers, American Issue, International Student, National Republic, New England Poultryman,

REPORT OF FIRE ENGINEERS
To the Board of Selectmen and the Citizens of the Town of Merrimac :
The Board of Engineers submit their report for the year ending December 31, 1935.
Number of alarms, 43. Fire loss $6,342. Value of prop- erty, $28,900.
The department responded to calls from Newton, N. H. and Haverhill, Mass.
A number of improvements and repairs were made at the Central Fire Station, new doors have been installed which were badly needed. The hall which had not been repaired for years is now in first class condition, a new floor laid, walls and ceiling painted, rewired and new fix- tures installed, also, four radiators installed. The lower rooms and Engineers room were painted. This work was all done under ERA projects costing the Town for the material used, only.
We recommend that the sum of $975 be appropriated for the purchase of new fire alarm boxes and cost of install-
49

ing the same. We also recommend that the sum of $400, be appropriated for the purchase of hose.
We recommend that the sum of $3,200 be appropriated for the salaries and general maintenance of the department for the year 1936.
Respectfully submitted,
AARON A. HUME, J. ARTHUR OLLIS, F. O. BAILEY, Board of Fire Engineers.
REPORT OF TOWN FOREST COMMITTEE
To the Selectmen of the Town of Merrimac:
Report of the Merrimac Town Forest Committee to January 1, 1936.
20,000 four year old pine trees were planted in our forest during the past year. 11,000 of these were planted on Red Oak Hill area, and 4200 on land at the Pumping Station. 4300 trees were planted in the forest on the high land above Winter Street, making a total of 85,000 trees set out to date.
The government has financed projects this year in our forest. Wood has been cut, roads built and fire lanes have been made, also one bridge constructed, five tile drains laid from 14 to 24 inches, 315 loads of fill from bank in the for- est, and 98 loads of gravel from the gravel bank in the for- est used on the new roads. 1150 feet of fence were built, the posts being taken from the forest. There are now about 40 posts cut and ready for use. 362 cords of wood have been cut. On January first of this year there are still 40 cords left in the forest.
On March 4, 1935 it was voted to spend $300 for forest work. From this amount $4.85 was turned back to the town, unused. A bill of $3.63 for lumber was presented too late last year and must be paid out of funds for 1936.
50
TOWN REPORT
The money, voted by the town to be used for forest work, was spent as follows:

There is a balance of $392.31 over cost and expenses of forest to date, plus 40 cords of wood cut and about 40 cedar posts.
The trees set out during the years are making a fine growth, and the many improvements that have been made possible by the government's help, make our forest one of the best in the state. The saving to the town for wood is a large sum. This will continue each year. The roads built make it possible for our fire fighters to reach almost all parts of the forest acres.
We hope that some day some public-spirited citizen

will make available funds to build an observatory on the high point of Red Oak Hill, where a fine view of the ocean can be seen.
