In conclusion, we wish to extend our thanks to the Honorable Board of Selectmen for the confidence which they have placed in us, and also to the Police Department for the prompt and valuable services rendered, both on the streets and at the fires.
We wish to thank the reverend clergy, who made such earnest appeals to their congregations during Fire Pre- vention Week, October 6-13, 1923. Particularly to the Superintendent of Schools, and teachers, and Sisters of St. Mary's, who gave the children such valuable instruc- tions all through the week. We feel that this work has laid the foundation for much good in the community.
We finally wish to show our appreciation to the mem- bers of the Fire Department for their prompt response
123
and obedience to duty and congratulate them on the splen- did spirit of harmony that now prevails throughout the department.
Respectfully submitted,
THOMAS F. MAHER, HENRY J. HEALY, LEROY B. BROWN, Board of Fire Engineers.

The chief duty of your board is care of the parks, but with the limited appropriation is it not possible to make any betterments, and we fear that in the case of the walks on the large town park there is actual deteriora- tion. A power lawnmower was considered a good invest- ment, as it promises to make a return in saving of time in care of parks.
The playgrounds for the children was an interesting departure for this departure and the credit for the good
125
126
spirit in this work rightfully belongs to a committee of women who had previous experience. Some $350 addi- tional was solicited among residents of Milford and Hope- dale and also two of the local factories were generous con- tributors. Without this additional amount, it is quite out of question to maintain the playground work. A larger allotment for this purpose is indispensable.
FRED W. FITZSIMMONS, Chairman, MARTIN J. WALLACE, FRANK E. NORCROSS, Secretary, Park Commissioners.
REPORT OF INSPECTOR OF ANIMALS
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
GENTLEMEN-The general and annual inspection of animals the past year was one of the most satisfactory, the general health being above the average, as well as the conditions surrounding them.
In the general inspection only one head of four head were destroyed for contagious diseases, and those only after undergoing a private tubercular test.
In the annual inspection of 377 head, none were found upon physical examination.
There has been less reported cases, owing to the small amount of indemnity paid by the state for condemned animals.
One herd of cows signed for the accredited herd test (Federal) and to date are free from an indication of tuberculosis.
There have been no reported cases of swine infection or of rabies.
DR. B. F. HARTMAN, Inspector of Animals.
