Report of the Inspector of Wires
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :-
The volume of inspection work the past year has in- creased, largely due to the amount of remodeling that has been, and is in progress, and some increase in new building construction.
Oil burner installation continues to be the largest item of electrical construction.
Changes in lines of work in some of the factories have called for considerable new work. .
Several business blocks had new and adequate services installed to replace those that had become obsolete, and in many cases, much overloaded and in bad condition. Others are in immediate prospect of renewal.
The change instituted by the Electric Light and Power Co. to the socket type of meter, and as far as possible, in outdoor location, has added to safety and convenience of all concerned, but has made necessary a large amount of supervision.
A new issue of the "National Electrical Code" is in effect on Jan. 1, 1938 and will provide some radical changes, especially in the rules governing the capacity and arrange- ment of wiring in buildings, especially residences. It is hoped that this will do away with some of the numerous extension cords, now very numerous.
There is a great temptation for investigators of fires, to credit electrical causes, but proof is lacking in a large per- centage of cases so recorded.
One possible contributing cause is almost always present, and that over-size fuses. I have consistently urged the danger of this, but still the dangerous practice goes on.
The line construction of both public utility companies is kept in excellent condition and requires very little super- vision. The Electric Light Co. at the present time is improv- ing its construction in side streets and back vards of the business section.
Respectfully submitted, FRED M. DANIELS. Inspector of Wires.
Report of the Inspector of Animals
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :
During the past year I have had practically the same number of cattle coming under my inspection.
The number of dogs which have been examined and quarantined is about the same as last year and this makes 1937 the second year with no positive case of rabies. I honestly believe that danger from this infection would be materially lessened if my recommendations of the past in regards to inoculation of dogs for rabies were carried out.
During my annual tour of inspection carried on from November 15 to December 31, I found the condition of cattle, sheep, hogs and their shelters, barns and stables was greatly improved and now are in a state where the com- munity is safe guarded as to health and sanitation.
Much credit is due the State Department of Agriculture for bringing about so favorable a condition, for utmost care must be exercised by dealers in keeping their premises and cattle clean to produce milk which will insure receiving their licenses to distribute milk.
The number of pigs, sheep and goats is still small and no out breaks of contagion or infection have been reported.
Respectfully submitted,
DR. B. F. HARTMAN,
Inspector of Animals.

Town Solicitor's Report
Of the six accident cases pending in court against the Town on January 1, 1937, three have been settled. One of the accidents happened in 1932, one 1933 and one in 1934. On January 1, 1938, there were pending in court five accident cases, one less than on January 1, 1937, two new accident suits having been commenced during the year. Eight claims were settled without having been entered. Notice of four new claims was received in which legal proceedings have not been commenced. In one accident on Purchase Street, caused by alleged defective sewer drain construction, settlement was forced from the contractor.
The Police Department and the Highway Department, as soon as an accident is reported, are requested to investigate the same and to take pictures of the alleged defect when necessary, and both Departments have been very co- operative.
Most of the serious accidents occur on alleged defective sidewalks. As the old sidewalks have cracks and depressions in them, in most every case, the party injured is able to expose a defective place in the approximate vicinity of where the fall occurred and say the accident happened at that point. This makes the case difficult to defend and, therefore, the Town can make no better investment than to continue the construction of concrete surfaced side- walks on every street.
In 1937, 265 Preambles of Taking for unpaid taxes were prepared at the request of the Tax Collector. These Pre- ambles must conform with legal requirements, and in each case contain a general description of each parcel of prop- erty. A comparison with the figures of previous years dis- closes that 272 Preambles were prepared in 1936. 289 in 1935, 418 in 1934 and 569 in 1933. While this indicates that more taxpayers paid their taxes without being served with these Preambles during the past vear than in previous years, this is not an accurate conclusion because once property is taken. the lien for subsequent vears attaches on certifica- tion of the tax due by the Tax Collector to the Treasurer,
166
of which this Department has no record. Eighteen titles were actually taken in 1937 (as compared with 16 in 1936, 25 in 1935, 43 in 1934 and 145 in 1933), so that 247 taxpayers paid their taxes after the Preambles were served and dis- pensed with the necessity of proceeding further to take the title. Thirty-eight tax titles previously taken over by the Town were settled during 1937 and released or dis- claimed, those disclaimed having been approved by the Assessors and the Tax Collector, with the consent of the Tax Commissioner.
At the request of the Town Treasurer, 19 petitions to foreclose tax titles were instituted in the Land Court dur- ing the year which, with the 16 filed in previous years, makes a total of 35. Of these, 21 cases have been disposed of, as follows: 10 by adjustment and 11 by decrees con- firming the title in the Town. The aggregate assessed value of the 11 properties thus owned by the Town is $17,950.00. The petition to foreclose the tax title of the Southern New England Ice Company went to a contested hearing, but the Land Court found that the tax taking proceedings were legal in every respect.
Two suits brought by the Town at the request. of the Department of Public Welfare for reimbursement for relief, were adjusted by payments being made to the Town. One welfare case brought by the City of Boston January 9, 1937 against the Town for alleged aid rendered by the City to Milford residents, is still pending in the Superior Court of Suffolk County.
A suit for land damages in Worcester Superior Court, arising out of the construction of Cedar Street in 1934 was disposed of favorably to the Town because of certain legal questions involved; releases and easements to the Town from abuttors on Purchase Street in connection with Pur- chase Street Reconstruction 1936 were prepared, executed and, where necessary, recorded in the Registry of Deeds; and releases and deeds in connection with such claims against the Town as have been settled by the Boston & Albany Railroad with land owners on Medway Street by reason of the construction of the overpass over the rail- road, have been examined, approved and, where necessary, recorded.
Under Article 19 (Warrant, Special Town Meeting June 18, 1937,) it was voted to accept the recommendations of
167
the Cedar Swamp Development Commission, but that no money be appropriated until this Department "put all titles in order" and that the Town Counsel report on the titles to the Selectmen before the March Town Meeting of 1938. In pursuance of the vote, a petition to register the title and whatever rights the Town may have in the same, is ready for filing, but a plan prepared according to Land Court rules and regulations must accompany the petition. For many months, engineers have been engaged in making a survey, but at this time work has not been completed. As soon as the plan is finished, the petition will be filed in accordance with the vote.
Attendance has been given at public hearings before federal, state and county authorities, including hearings on WPA matters before the Federal Works Progress Ad- ministration; on Purchase Street Construction before the State Board of Public Works and County Commissioners ; on the abolition of the grade crossing on Medway Street before the State Board of Public Works and State De- partment of Public Utilities; on the approval of the budget, articles and votes before the Emergency Finance Board, and upon the project for the construction of the office building, wire fence and improvements at the sewer beds before the Federal Public Works Administration. These projects required preparation and the drawing of applica- tions and petitions to comply with the regulations, as well as innumerable conferences and much discussion.
Advice and opinions, when requested, have been given to the various Town Departments, whose co-operation and assistance are hereby publicly appreciated.
Respectfully submitted, WILLIAM A. MURRAY, Town Solicitor.

3. Audiometer tests given.
MATERIAL PLANT
4. The old High school, badly damaged by the fire of March 31, 1937, is being restored in a manner that will make it a great improvement over the original. The old roof with its graceful lines and many dormers has given place to a third story of Milford Pink granite, laid random ashlar, thus matching in style and material the lower stories and completely harmonizing in form with the newer section. In roominess, the building will have in the new third story a larger art classroom than the one destroyed by fire, an art gallery and study room to accomodate from forty to seventy-five people, two lab- oratories in the former location but much improved in form and interior convenience, and two classrooms in addition.
EDUCATIONAL
5. School children saved in 1937, $13,715.27 including $1,682.93 deposited by the Milford High School Class of 1937. The regular savings of the children was $1,- 445.98 in excess of last year's record.

Report of the School Committee
The following budget for 1938 has been carefully con- sidered in detail by your School Committee, and I would say, (1) that of the items for Teachers' Salaries, Care and Vocational Salaries, each is the amount of the payroll; (2) the above is true for very nearly the complete items for Health and Supervision; (3) a fair repair fund for private property is 1%; we are asking for less than one half of 1% of the value of the school buildings, not including the contents, for repairs; (4) for Transportation, we are asking about $200 more than was expended for this item in 1937; (5) for Fuel, we are asking for more money than was paid last year, but we are obliged to maintain heat in the old High school building for the next two months, more or less, according to the weather, to dry out the walls, and after that the plaster; (6) we have asked 11/2% for Books and Supplies which is unusually low; (7) it is only fair to explain that an item of over $2,000 for new equipment was charged to incidentals, in the absence of a special appro- priation. We ask for $6500., which is needed. (8) The cost of tuition in the trade schools increased 43.7% in 1937. We ask for 14.9% more this year.
