STACY SCHOOL
Until vacation the same plan for book exchange was used. At the Memorial Day exercises, the following awards for book reports were made by Mrs. Harry S. Chadbourne, a member of the reading committee. The first prize, three dollars, donated by the Principal of Stacy School, was awarded Betty Perkins, for her review of David Copperfield. The second prize, two dollars, donated by the Librarian, was awarded Gail Carter, for her review of Beatrice the Brave. The third prize, one dollar, donated by the Librarian, was awarded Frances Greene, for her review of Treasure Island. Honorable mention was given Isabelle Cop- per, Audrey Kusman, Mabel Stevens, Rose Ferrelli, Rachel Gubana, Clayton Wilson, Fred Shiffer, Rose Milani, Pauline Bourbeau, John Holmes, Donald Mc- Tiernan, Alzira Coelho, Janet Dalrymple.
When school opened, in September, a new plan was formulated. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, the pupils of two rooms, with their teacher, visit the li- brary and select their own books. Two weeks are required to accommodate the twelve rooms. The Vo- cational gir's exchange their own books, and the Vo- cational boys send their books to the library and new ones are returned to them. This arrangement proves satisfactory to teachers and pupils and library staff. After the pupils have exchanged their books, they are allowed to use the reading and reference room for the remainder of the period. In this way, the pupils have direct contact with the library, and learn what books are on the shelves, what magazines and reference books are available, what desk work is necessary.
NOTES
The Trustees purchased several valuable reference works : Encyclopedia Americana in 30 volumes; Who's Who in America, 1936-1937; Wonders of Animal Life, in 4 volumes; American Year Book; Milford and Hope- dale Directory, with a fine picture of the Library build- ing; a directory of Milford, dated 1856, claimed to be one of the first town directories.
153
The usual sets of Polish, Armenian and Italian books were borrowed from the Division of Public Libraries. The adult foreign-born appreciate the privilege of hav- ing books in their own language.
The Dictionary of American Biography was com- pleted this year with the twentieth volume. Publica- tion of the important work was begun in 1928; an av- erage of three volumes a year, at a cost of twelve and one-half dollars a volume, was the rule.
Mr. Edward W. Duggan of Hong Kong has sent sev- eral packages of stamps from the office of the Ameri- can Express, to be used in the Library stamp book.
Useful pamphlets have been received from the Kel- vinator Corporation on temperature research; the Massachusetts Geodetic Survey on Bench marks in Massachusetts, Bench marks along certain rivers in eastern Massachusetts, Technical procedure for geo- detic surveys; Massachusetts Department of Public Health on Sources of pollution of Blackstone River Valley ; Public Works Progress Administration on Fed- cral theatre; Department of Public Works on Leveling in Massachusetts.
Owing to serious illness, Mrs. Harriet A. Hunter was absent from work from May until November. In July, in order that the assistants could have their two weeks' vacation, Miss Cecelia Wallace was added to the staff, and she remained until the return of Mrs. Hunter, in November.

Report of the Inspector of Wires.
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :
I am glad to report that the volume of electrical work has increased considerably the past year, reflect- ing a better condition of business and increase of build- ing activity.
The installation of oil burners continues the largest single item, especially on the approach of winter.
The installation of signs, mostly of the Neon type, is the most difficult of supervision, inasmuch as most of the work is done by out-of-town parties, some li- censed electricians and some not. These latter are sure to do their work and escape, if possible, before they are discovered. It is quite a task to have some of their bad work corrected.
Some of the Carnivals and other lines of temporary entertainment are a problem, as they bring to town a lot of portable equipment, much of it in bad condi- tion and hardly safe to use.
I have endeavored to give to the public some cau- tionary suggestions in the use of electrical equipment, and wish to thank the Daily News for its co-operation.
One fire 'has occurred, evidently caused by a break- down of wire having no protection on account of tam- pering with the fuses. Two other cases have been credited to electrical causes, but the evidence is far from conclusive.
Conditions found in some residences have convinced me that there is a large amount of amateur wiring in use that in many cases is very dangerous. This is a type of so-called economy that may introduce a very serious hazard to life and property.
Several business blocks and other buildings have had new and adequate services installed to replace over- loaded and obsolete equipment to the much greater safety and convenience of the occupants.
On July 9, 1936, a terrific gale and cloud-burst
162
caused the most damage to poles and wires since the sleet storm, some years ago. For several hours the town was without street lights, outside of the White Way, almost without commercial lights and power, and with only a small fragment of the fire alarm sys- tem and a very limited telephone service.
As in the former occasion, the public utility com- panies deserve very much credit for the quick restora- tion of service. Both Electric Light and Telephone Companies called to their aid a large number of men and considerable equipment from distant points.
The men in charge of the fire alarm lines worked with equal energy and deserve very much credit.
Practically all the line damage was due to trees up- rooted or broken down and many property owners suf- fered from service wires being torn from their build- ings and pipes bent and broken. Much supervision was required for a long period in the restoration of this damage, but as in most such cases, the equipment is now in better shape than formerly.
Some changes have been made in the fire alarm sys- tem, including the dividing of one long and overloaded circuit, which have added very much to the safety and security of the fire protection.
Respectfully submitted,
FRED M. DANIELS, Inspector of Wires
Report of the Inspector of Animals.
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
In rendering this report I am glad to say that the past year has been free from any evidence of disease among the animals coming under the supervision of the Live Stock Disease Control Board of Massachu- setts, to which I am accountable, as I am to you gen- tlemen.
The number of cattle to be examined is steadily growing smaller, there being but 251 head this year, as compared with 268 in 1935.
In the re-tests by the state in this town only 3 head were found to react to the tuberculin tests.
The situation in the case of dogs here is, that, since the number of dogs is greater, the number of cases of dog-bites has increased in proportion. However, there has been no case of actual rabies during the past year. I think this is due in part to the fact that the number of dogs being immunized against rabies is on the increase.
The number of swine examined in the district is about the same as in the past and these, too, have es- caped any outbreak of infectious disease.
To repeat what I recommended in my report of last year, I again urge the Honorable Board of Health to take steps to establish local clinics for the immuniza- tion of dogs against rabies, to the end that a large proportion of our canine population may be free from fear of that scourge. This may be done at a nominal cost to town and owner.

Town Solicitor's Report.
Five of the eight accident suits pending in Court against the Town on January 1, 1936, were settled during the year. One of these accidents happened in 1931, two in 1932 and two in 1935. On January 1, 1937, there were pending in Court six cases, two less than on January 1, 1936, three new accident suits hav- ing been commenced in 1936. Six other claims were filed on account of new accidents, on which suit has not yet been begun. Ten claims were settled without suit having been entered. Two claims arising out of forced repairs to the Eastman drain, which the Town is under obligation to repair, were adjusted. The Po- lice Department and Highway Department have fur- nished valuable aid in investigating all accidents as quickly as they were reported.
In 1936, 272 descriptions of property to be taken for unpaid taxes were prepared at the request of the Tax Collector, as compared with 289 in 1935, 418 in 1934 and 569 in 1933. But 16 titles were actually taken as compared with 25 in 1935, 43 in 1934 and 145 in 1933. Accordingly, it therefore appears that the number of notices of taking has been reduced to about one-half of the 1933 figures, with a much greater decrease in the number of takings when the force of the nation-wide depression was at its peak. Forty- three taxpayers, whose properties had been previous- ly taken, adjusted their accounts with the Town dur- ing 1936, and releases or disclaimers were obtained with the approval of the Tax Commissioner.
Fifteen petitions to foreclose tax titles were filed in the Land Court and are now pending; that against the Southern New England Ice Co. being set for trial on February 11, 1937.
Legal work in connection with W.P.A. projects eased up during the year 1936, the Co-ordinator and the local engineering project having taken over most
170
of that work, so that the Solicitor's connection with it has been mostly in an advisory capacity.
The case of A. Daddario vs. the Town, arising out of bids submitted on the Inmhoff Tank P.W.A. Project at the Sewer Plant, the facts of which are contained in the 1936 Town Report, was appealed by the plaint- iff to the Supreme Judicial Court, but was decided in favor of the Town. If the Town had lost the case, the amount of the check, $5,000.00, would have had to be made up by the Town out of its own funds, the State Engineer of the P.W.A. having ruled that the amount of the check would be deducted from the account.
Litigation which arose as to the status of the Plumb- ing Inspector resulted in a decision of the Supreme Court in favor of Charles J. Ferrante, the Court de- creeing that John E. Higgiston, who held the office since 1915, had forfeited the office by taking a leave of absence beyond the period allowed by law; and the time during which he returned to work was not to be reckoned as breaking thé leave.
Continual requests for advice and opinions from the various Town Departments have been complied with, Trustee's answers have been prepared in many cases brought against parties in which the Town has been summoned as Trustee, and attendance has been given before the Emergency Finance Board, the Director of Accounts, and other Federal and State Departments at all hearings in which the Town has an interest.
Respectfully submitted, . WILLIIAM A. MURRAY, Town Solicitor
