The Planning Board for the year 1946 consisted of Robert .W. Holbrook, Sidney Solomon, John E. O'Con- nor, Michael D. Ianzito, and Frank E. King.

Report of Soldiers' Relief Agent
To the Board of Selectmen and Voters :
Below is appended my report for 1946. Total appro- priations for Soldiers' Relief, War Allowance, Military Aid and State Aid were $25,330; total expenditures, $14,- 278.30; unexpended balance, $11,051.70. It has been a busy year. Returning service men and women have been assisted in preparing blanks for the State Bonus, many of their discharges have been recorded by me, and over 3500 photostatic copies of Discharge Papers have been made for Terminal Leave Pay and other uses. Starting January 1, 1947, an entirely new set-up had to be pre- pared, as the state henceforth is to pay one-half of the costs of Soldiers' Relief, and new applications had to be filled out for each applicant and forwarded to the State House. The selectmen requested brevity in all reports, and for that reason many things I desired to include in this report must be omitted. I take this opportunity to thank the selectmen for their co-operation and fairness in handling the affairs of this department, and to thank banks, factories and insurance companies for their assist- ance in getting a true picture of the needs of the various applicants for assistance. And to the Town Finance Com- mittee, thanks sincerely for every courtesy extended me.

Report of Inspector of Animals
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
My office has little of interest to report, except that the annual inspection of domestic animals and their quar- ters has been resumed after being omitted for five years as a war time measure. This year the State Department of Livestock Disease Control has ordered the inclusion of horses in this inspection. This was done largely for statistical purposes.
Prior to November first, 1946, I checked over one hundred cars of cattle shipped here for slaughtering.
We again begin a new year with a record free from positive cases of rabies in dogs, but the number of per- sons bitten has been large. This is due entirely to either pure viciousness on the part of the dogs or aggravated by the mischievous antics of children .
During the spring the Board of Health sponsored a two-day clinic for the immunization of dogs against ra- bies. One clinic was held at the premises of Dr. Joseph Fabbricotti on Purchase Street and the second at the quarters of the Highway Department on Central Street. Their courtesy in offering their rooms for this purpose was much appreciated.
Respectfully submitted,
B. F. HARTMAN,
Inspector of Animals.

Annual Report of the Sewer Commission
To the Citizens of Milford, Mass .:
The following report on the operation of the sewer- age system and on new construction is respectfully sub- mitted.
The treatment works continue to operate satisfac- torily. At the pumping station the motor of the pump unit, installed in 1938, burned out on July 30th, due to clogging of the wornout check valves and failure of the electric protection device-installed in 1928, leaving only the old extended-shaft unit available for operation by manual control and continuous attendance.
We strongly recommend an appropriation of $3500. for the replacement of the extended shaft pump unit and the installation of new electric control and check valves -all of which equipment is eighteen years old and at the end of its useful life.
The Town having appropriated the sum of $32,- 050.00 for the construction of a low level interceptor from East Street to the pumping station and of sewers in East Street, Centre Street and Beach Street, bids were received on July 16th as follows :
H. DiTullio & Co. $26,813.00
R. Zoppo 27,734.50
A. Grande 29,774.50
C. L. Guild 35,598.25
Clark-Dingley Co. 40,882.00
80
The contract was awarded to the lowest bidder, and the work is now completed-except 700 ft. of sewer in East and Beach Streets. The total cost will probably be $4,000 less than the appropriation.
The total length of sewers now laid is 27.3 miles, and the total number of connected premises is now-

Report of the Park Commissioners
Year 1946
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and the Citizens of Milford :
We hereby submit our annual report with financial report appended for the year 1946.
This year more than ever before trees had to be sprayed because of the blight in this section.
The flagpoles at Draper and Calzone Parks were re- painted and general care was given to the four parks under our care.
The playgrounds had a very successful season and inter-playground sports were enjoyed. The playgrounds closed with the annual baby contest, doll carriage parade and game contests on Town Park.
Some new playground equipment was secured this year but it is our hope that more will be available in 1947 as it is needed badly to replace worn and used equip- ment.
We wish to thank all who helped us in 1946.
Respectfully submitted, CHRISTOPHER C. MORCONE, Chairman FRANCIS J. WALLACE, WALTER L. FITZGERALD.
