NOTES


An open book case was made for the Library by Joseph Pesotti, a member of the Milford General Vocational School. It helps to relieve the congestion in exhibits of special subjects.


Two Library events, Jewish Book Week in May and Children's Book Week in November, were observed by special exhibits of books.


Book marks were received from several local mer- chants.


September 13, W.P.A. workers began an inventory of the library. They list every book by number, title, au- thor, publisher, condition. From this list they will find the actual number of books on the shelves, and the con- dition of them, good, fair, poor. A shelf list will be made, something the library never had, except in the Juvenile Department. This work will result in much benefit to the library, and much enlightenment to the public.


The members of Quinshipaug Woman's Club, through the Committee on Community Service and Public Wel- fare, donated 11 new books, and replaced 8 copies of juveniles. The books were: Massachusetts Guide Book, The Saga of American Society-Wector


Japan defies the world-Scherer Red Star over China-Snow


From snow to sun-Burrough


Copper-toed boots-de Angeli Benjie's hat-Hunt


Tricks any boy can do-Leeming


The Dutch twins and Little Brother-Perkins


The Bobbsey twins solve a mystery-Hope Collected poems of Sara Teasdale.


The Milford Teachers' Association, through its Book Committee, presented 5 volumes: The Road to Reunion- Buck; Helen Keller's Journal; Women of the Wilderness -Bell; Our Town-Wilder; The Education of a Diplo- mat-Wilson.


For the first time in eighty years, the Library opened every afternoon and every evening. This was done at no added expense to the Town, as the Library staff was called upon to give these extra six hours a week with no increase of pay. The total hours of weekly service are now 31, instead of 25. This new schedule began March 15.


162


The volume given by the officials of the Town is a val- uable copy of Laws of the United States of America, con- taining "The Federal Constitution, The Acts of the Ses- sions of the First and Second Congress; The Treaties existing between the United States and Foreign Nations, and the Several Indian Tribes; also Sundry Resolves of the First and Second Congress, 1789."

Report of the Inspector of Wires


To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :-


The work of the Inspection Department through the first half of 1938 had nothing distinctive outside of the routine work of supervision.


A new issue of the National Electric Code has been in force the past year.


The changes are not radical but in the interest of more suitable construction for all the numerous appliances to be found in the modern home, and avoid the numerous cord extensions to the permanent wiring.


A nation-wide campaign in the interests of adequate wiring has already shown some results.


There has been an average amount of new building construction.


I have endeavored to continue to preach on the subject of proper fuses, and hope it may have had some effect. There is no doubt of the great danger of fire involved.


On September 21, all New England was visited by a southern hurricane which paralyzed all wire systems of the section. Milford had its full share of damage and on the night after the storm the fire alarm was prac- tically out of service. Telephones in service were con- fined to the underground system and a little of the over- head cable lines. A part of the White Way lights were practically all that remained in service of the electric light system.


Most of the power service for the factories was re- stored early the next morning.


On account of the wide territory affected, it was im- possible to secure skilled help except from very distant points. The telephone company had some outside help in restoring its system, but the Milford Electric Light & Power Co. had the distinction of restoring its lines with no outside help.


171


Both public utility companies and their employees de- serve a great deal of credit for the fine way in which they handled the situation.


The Fire Department also gave a fine account of itself in repairing the fire alarm system. The town was also very fortunate in escaping serious fires and with no deaths or very serious injuries to its citizens.


One class of damage that fell upon the property owners was the damage or destruction of over 100 service pipes, mostly on residences. I have endeavored to inspect each restored service but have not completed them yet.


The complete restoration of the overhead lines and structures will take some months yet.


Three town buildings have been under construction, the old section of the High School and the Town In- firmary, rebuilt after fires, and the new Service Build- ing on Central St.


The continued co-operation with the Chief of the Fire Department both in relation to fire alarm and fire in- vestigations has been most pleasant and we hope profit- able to all concerned.


Respectfully submitted,


FRED M. DANIELS,


Inspector of Wires.


172


Report of the Inspector of Animals


To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:


In common with most communities in Massachusetts this year, this town was visited by a new and serious out- break among horses, known as Equine Encephalomyelitis, a form of "sleeping sickness." This disease is thought to be the result of a mosquito carrying the germs, biting and infecting the subject. The epidemic spread rapidly and caused a number of deaths. Immunizing the animals reduced the liability to the disease and reduced the num- ber of losses by death. It is advised that all horse owners plan to have their animals vaccinated as early as April or May as protection against the mosquitoes, which usu- ally arrive in June. This will insure a greater amount of immunity against this fatal disease.


Inspection shows cattle and swine to be practically free from contagious and infectious disease.


Rabies is still non-existant in this town, but while we have no positive cases of rabies, yet dog-bites continue to average about 12 a month and vigilance is still neces- sary in dealing with this danger.


In conclusion, I wish to call to the attention of farmers and cattle dealers the State Live Stock Disease Control circular, No. 45, which says: "All bovine animals six months of age or over, brought into this state, in any manner, must have a certificate stating that said animal has had a negative agglutinated blood test against Bangs (abortion) disease, applied within 30 days prior to entry into this state."


Respectfully submitted,


DR. B. F. HARTMAN, Inspector of Animals.


173 Report of Dog Officer


To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:


The following is my report as Dog Officer for the Town of Milford for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1938.


During the year I have investigated and adjusted 242 dog complaints from all parts of the Town. I picked up and boarded 27 stray dogs during the year for which the County reimbursed the Town $108.00.


On July 1, 1938, there was turned over to me for in- vestigation 135 unlicensed dogs. This large number was due to the adverse business conditions existing in 1938. After notifying and interviewing the owners, 118 of these licenses were paid and I was forced to bring the remain- ing 17 into court for disposition.


During 1938 there were 807 Dog Licenses and 2 Ken- nel Licenses issued :

Town Counsel's Report


During the year 1938, two of the five accident cases that were pending in court on January 1st were disposed of. On January 1, 1939, there were pending in court four accident cases, one less than on January 1, 1938, one new case having been entered during the year. Eight claims were settled without having been entered. Notice of fourteen new claims was received, suits not having been brought on them as yet. This is an increase of ten over that presented during 1937.


The investigations by the Highway and Police Depart- ments, made as soon as an accident is reported, including the taking of pictures where necessary, have been very helpful in the preparation of the cases. As previously pointed out, defective sidewalks are the cause of the ac- cidents. It is quite easy for the party injured, if so dis- posed, to find a defective place in the vicinity of where the fall occurred. So long as this condition exists, it is reasonable to expect that the Town will be subjected from time to time to pay damages. Concrete surfaced sidewalks should be constructed on every street and when cracks or other holes appear, they should be promptly repaired by the Highway Surveyor.


In 1938, 234 preambles of taking of properties for un- paid taxes were prepared. Each preamble must contain a general description of each parcel of property and must conform with strict legal requirements to make the tak- ing valid. This is the smallest number of preambles that has been prepared thus far, the peak having been reached in 1933 with 569, with gradual reductions to 265 in 1937. Sixteen titles were actually taken in 1938, which are two less than in 1937. Thirty-two tax titles previously taken over were redeemed, disclaimed or as- signed, the disclaimers first being approved by the As- sessors, Tax Collector and the State Tax Commissioner.


One petition to foreclose a tax title was filed in the Land Court during the year, as compared with thirty-five during 1936 and 1937. Twenty-one of the thirty-six cases were disposed of prior to January 1, 1938. Of the re- maining fifteen, fourteen have been disposed of either

by adjustment or by decrees confirming the title in the Town. The petition to foreclose the tax title of Ernest F. Munday was contested but the tax taking proceedings were held legal in every respect. The remaining petition, that of the Milford Iron Foundry, is now ripe for a decree.


Such releases, easements or deeds to the Town as have been necessary, growing out of the reconstruction of Pur- chase Street, of settlements made by the Boston & Albany Railroad with land owners on Medway Street by reason of the construction of the overpass, and of the various drainage projects have been prepared and where neces- sary recorded in the Registry of Deeds.


The petition to register the title and whatever rights the Town may have in the Cedar Swamp Pond property was filed February 10, 1938, and a hearing was held in the Land Court at Boston on November 2, 1938. An informal decision was made at that time, satisfactorily defining the rights of all parties, but a final decree was held up pend- ing an amendment to the original petition covering the land owned by the Town in fee on Cedar Street and land owned by the Town in fee on the westerly side of the pond just north of the power house property. A hearing on this amended petition has been assigned for March 3, 1939.


While objections have been filed by the New York, New Haven & Hartford Trustees and the Consolidated Trading Company to this amended petition for the purpose of defining the location of the high water mark along the railroad property, and certain rights of way, it is expected that these objections can be settled by agreement on that date. If for any reason a decree should be entered con- flicting with the federal project for the improvement of the pond, proceedings will be taken by eminent domain to cover them.


Public hearings were held before federal, state and county authorities, namely, on W. P. A. matters before the Federal Works Progress Administration; on Purchase Street construction before the State Board of Public Works and County Commissioners; and on the Cedar Swamp Pond project before the Public Works Adminis- tration and the Emergency Finance Board. The legal work in connection with the P. W. A. Cedar Swamp proj- ect has been voluminous, not only requiring preparation of applications and petitions, releases and deeds in con-


180


nection with properties and rights affected, but also in- numerable conferences and discussions.


The various Town departments have been furnished advice and opinions, both oral and written, when such has been asked for, and public appreciation is hereby ex- pressed to them for their cooperation and assistance.
