During the summer a small class of girls was formed for the State Certificate Reading. Those reading the re- quired 20 books and making the reports received the four small certificates and the large Honor certificate. The girls were: Abigail Carter, Claire Adams, Eunice Fales, Anna May, Ruth Moss, Helen Gaskill, Barbara Sails, Katherine Nealon, Louise Gemma, Yolanda Piergustava, Cecilia Elder.


NOTES


No special observance of the 75th birthday, August 31, was made. An interesting article, written by Jacob Broudy, was published in the Daily News. The Libra- rian read a paper on the History of the Town Library at meetings of the Ladies' Association of the Congrega- tional Church and the Ladies' Aid of the Universalist Church.


A stereoscope and views were given by Mrs. Rudolph Roy. Authors' signs were made by pupils under the di- rection of Miss Dorcas Whipple, Supervisor of Drawing. Posters asking for book donations were made by Miss Marguerite J. Taylor. Flowers were given the Library by Clifton Tyler, Harold Tyler, Mrs. James Sails, Mrs. Paul Consolette, Miss Harriett Carter. A filing box, made at the Eastman factory, was donated by Trustee Eastman.


Several sets of Italian, Polish and Armenian books were borrowed from the Division of Public Libraries in


124


Boston. The books circulated 237 times. Three sets are still in circulation, not included in the above figures.


More books than usual were borrowed for the use of patrons from the Boston Public Library, the State Li- brary and the Division of Public Libraries, through the Inter-Loan Library system.


At the holiday season a self-service box was placed in the Library by the local chairman of the Health Seals. A representation of the Manger Scene was set up for the Christmas time.


A book house is in process of construction. This was cut from cardboard, with doors and windows that open. Eventually all the outside of the house will be covered with portions of book jackets showing titles, authors and pictures of juvenile books in the library. The children show great interest in finding references to the books they have read.


The pupils in Room Two, Stacy School, in charge of Miss Rita M. Daigle, observed Book Week, November 12-18, with a special program, an exhibition of books and library material, and posters illustrating use and care of books. Some of the posters were sent to the library later for exhibition and created much favorable comment. In- vitations to attend the exercises were sent to the Libra- rian, the Assistant Librarian and the School Principal.


In May the Librarian and Assistant Librarian joined the Bay Path Library Club and attended the meetings at Whitinsville and Spencer. This club is for the inter- change of library methods, discussion of work and closer union of the librarians of this section of the state.


Eight C. W. A. workers were assigned the Library. They were given such work as inexperienced people could do, reading stacks, replacing number labels and book plates, tying magazines in volumes, filing cards, starting a shelf list, etc.


The Library staff contributed $278.67 as the voluntary offering to the Town. Elsewhere the Library is credited with a smaller amount which is not correct.

TOWN SOLICITOR'S REPORT


During the year ending December 31, 1933, ten claims for personal injuries and property damage against the Town were settled, totaling $993.00. There are now nine suits pending against the Town for personal injuries and property damages, as against twelve suits pending on December 31, 1932.


During the year, the extensive litigation growing out of the construction of West Street in 1931 has been prac- tically disposed of. The insurance company which bonded the Town in connection with certain phases of the work is reimbursing the Town in periodical payments for ex- penditures made by it, there being a balance of $600.00 still due, the same being reduced at the rate of $100.00 per month.


The Solicitor has appeared in the District Court at the request of the Police Department and of the Board of Health, and has furnished advice and given numerous opinions to the various Town departments.


Traffic regulations, uniform with other Towns, have been prepared under the direction of the Selectmen, which were adopted after a conference with a committee from the Chamber of Commerce. These have just been approved by the Department of Public Works and are now ready for publication, after which they will be in full force and effect.


As in 1932, the Tax Collector's office required consid -. erable work and time of the Solicitor. Following the recommendations made in this report last year, a new policy was instituted in tax collections, whereby instead of advertising and selling real estate for taxes, the Town simply made a taking. This saved the expense of adver- tising, which ultimately had to be paid by the taxpayer, and spared the property owners the attendant publicity, the vast majority of whom would have paid if they could ; nevertheless, the Solicitor had to prepare the descrip- tions, check them in the Registry, draw the Notices of Taking, and where a taking was made, draw the Instru-


132


ments of Taking, and record them in the Registry of Deeds.


During the year, 569 descriptions were prepared, as against 238 in 1932, of which 145 titles were actually taken, as against 103 in 1932. Thus 424 made an ad- justment with the Collector of their taxes after the no- tice was served and before the taking. Those whose properties were taken, however, did not lose the bene- ficial interest, as two years is given to pay the tax and redeem the property. The town Treasurer's record will show the number thus redeemed, releases having been prepared by the Solicitor in each instance.


The formation of the Federal Public Administration, the Civil Works Administration, and the creation of the Emergency Finance Board, commanded the immediate attention of the Town officials. An examination of the Selectmen's Report discloses the varied activity displayed in securing all the financial benefits for the Town and its unemployed by virtue of these agencies, and they need not be repeated here. It is sufficient to say that the Solicitor has had countless consultations in respect thereto with town officials, state officials and federal of- ficials; has appeared at all hearings on the applications of the Town for grants, loans, public projects, and for their extensions to February 15, 1934.


Anticipating that the Congress will provide additional C. W. A. Funds after February 15, 1934, the Solicitor has arranged with the State Civil Works Administration for speedy hearings for the Town in case the money is granted. It is suggested, however, that it is incumbent on the respective Town departments to advise what par- ticular improvements are desired, and prepare the plans and the cost estimates in suitable shape for presentation.


In conclusion, thanks are extended to the Board of Selectmen and all the Town departments and officials for their co-operation and generous assistance rendered dur- ing the year.


Respectfully submitted,


WILLIAM A. MURRAY, Town Solicitor.

REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE


To the Citizens of Milford:


We invite your careful attention to the report of our department for 1933. Rigid economy in our finances has been the rule. Health records submitted by physicians and nurses reveal a notable advance in the health of the school children.


Each succeeding year brings out more glaringly the need of more room. Steps have already been taken to secure an adequate, modern High school building.


The Fountain Street school has been completely mod- ernized (C. W. A.) and steps are being taken to dupli- cate that project at the Braggville school-all the fore- going at a minimum expense to the town.

REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS


To the Honorable School Committee of the Town of Milford:


Gentlemen :- I herewith present my 23d annual report, the 55th of such reports in the Town's history.


RETIREMENT OF JUDGE LYNCH FROM THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE


A year ago Hon. John C. Lynch announced his retire- ment from the School Committee after a continuous serv- ice of thirty-three years as a member and seven years as chairman. April 24, 1933, under the leadership of the School Department, 450 of Judge Lynch's friends assem- bled in the Town Hall at a testimonial banquet in his honor, at which Hon. John E. Swift presided. There were many eloquent tributes by distinguished representatives of the church, the bar, the educational field and the busi- ness world to the guest of honor, as an upright judge and educator of distinction and a true friend. On behalf of the assembled guests, Mr. John T. McLoughlin presented Judge Lynch a handsome grandfather's clock (electric) in a mahogany case, and to Mrs. Lynch a beautiful bou- quet.


During the evening selections were rendered by a string ensemble of Boston and Milford men, under the direction of Professor Alex DiGiannantonio. Vocal se- lections were rendered by Mrs. Elizabeth McNamara O'Connor of Needham, who served, first as a teacher and afterwards as supervisor of music, in the local public schools under Judge Lynch, and Miss May Ross of Mil- ford.

(2) Number of previously reported defects corrected at the suggestion of school physicians and nurse, 997.


The reader is urged to read carefully the reports of the school physicians and the nurse farther on in this re- port.


During the fall term of school Dr. Frederika Moore of the State Board of Health gave a course of six lectures on health topics to the Milford grade teachers, the conclud- ing one, illustrated with several movie reels, on the im- portant subject of posture. In this and other ways, Massachusetts is working with Milford in the battle for the health of today's children-tomorrow's citizens !
