Four long, bright years, we have labored and won, Four years of joy with our duties done,
Now with our hearts full of love and devotion Hail, dear old Milford High.
Sing, then, your praises and raise them on high Until the chorus swells to the sky ;
Echo and send forth the notes we are telling, Maximus in minimis.
As June's bright pathway invites us to wander, On, ever onward, new beauties to ponder, So may we ever as life's work we do Always to our Alma Mater be true.
Once more our path to the wide word now tends, Leaving our classmates, dearest of friends, Teachers so kind, now we thank you in song, Farewell, dear Milford High.

In the appropriation for the Board of Health is included $150.00 for the purchase of a lung motor, or pulmotor, which is to be kept in some central location as the Board of Health may designate.
The salary of the Inspector of Plumbing, $300.00, has been included in the salary list, and the pay of the members of the board of health has been left in the selectmen's salary list.
The salary of the inspector of meats, $250.00, and the in- spector of health, $200.00, have been included in the appropri- ation for the Board of Health.
The expense of extra help in the extinguishment of brush fires has been included in the Selectmen's incidentals.
The salary of the overseers of the poor has been recom - mended at $800.00 as against $525.00 for previous years, ena- bling them to hire a clerk and in consequence of the increased work of the department.
It is recommended that the Selectmen insure the town
16
with some liability company or companies, under the work- men's compensation act, which the town has voted to accept, and the sum of $200.00 has been placed in the incidental fund for that purpose.
The fire department has urged the purchase of a motor driven combination and tractor, for the hook and ladder, but the committee on the fire department will confer further with them and submit their recommendations at a later date.
It is recommended that inasmuch as a specific fund has been appropriated for the maintenance of the Board of Health for the fiscal year of 1915, that they refund from this appro- priation to the incidental fund such sums as they have drawn therefrom since January 1, 1915.
It is recommended to the town that any special sidewalks that the town may vote to construct under Articles 13, 17, 19 and 20, that the expense therefor shall come out of the gener- al appropriation for sidewalks.
The finance commission respectfully calls the attention of the town to the advisability of taking proper action to abolish the Sewer Commission and consolidate the sewer and highway departments under one authority ; this would be in the direc- tion of efficiency and economy, and would give the highway de- partment full control of the streets and would enable the town to secure the services of a qualified engineer for one salary to supervise both departments, accordingly it is recommended that the Selectmen and Town Solicitor proceed with such ac- tion as may be necessary to accomplish this end.
It is recommended that if any further construction or al- terations of the sewer system is made, that the expense for the same be borne out of the general · appropriation or the as- sessments for that department and not bond the town as re- quired by Article 21.
In the recommending of the appropriations by the Finance Commission it does not follow that it feels it necessary for each department to spend all the money so appropriated for it, but urges upon them that the same be expended with the greatest judgment, to the end that if they can show substan-
17
tial balances at the end of the fiscal year it will redound to their credit, especially if the amount of their work is in pro- portion to the amount expended.
