In view of the alarming increase in automobile accidents and deaths, I recommend an increased emphasis on the matter of driver training.
RELIGIOUS INSTRUCTION CLASSES
Release time classes continued to operate successfully this year and pupils of the fourth grade are now allowed to participate. Again I recommend continuance of classes under the existing smooth functioning arrangements.

HIGH SCHOOL
Accomplishments
The lighting of the approaches to the J. C. Lynch Auditorium were improved by the installation of an additional street light and a set of flood lights in the yard area between the High and Stacy Schools. The area outside of the rear exits of the audi- torium was also lighted by the installation of spot lights.
Considerable work was done in improving the heating, the plumbing, and the electrical systems in the High School.
Plans are proceeding with the institution of a cafeteria in the basement of the High School. To date a stove, a refrigerator and an automatic potato peeler have been obtained and in the near future the remaining equipment will be obtained.
As was recommended last year an investigation was made as to the costs of installation and maintenance of a suitable cafeteria and results of that investigation indicate that a cafeteria can be established at a reasonable cost.
I recommend a continuation of the work under way at present to the end that a cafeteria will be in operation next year as early as possible so that the pupils of the High, Stacy, Spruce Street and Park Schools may avail themselves of the opportunity to obtain a hot lunch.
As was mentioned in the report of last year the walls at the back and sides of the stage in the auditorium are badly in need of re-plastering, and I recommend that this condition be corrected as soon as possible.
Stacy Jr. High School
New window shades were provided for the front rooms of this building and five new toilets were installed in the boys' basement.
The stair treads on the boys' side are in bad condition and since this constitutes a hazard I recommend the installation of a new set of stair treads.
The matter of installing oil burners in the two boilers at the Stacy School is being considered and studied by the School Com- mittee as an economy measure. It is believed that we may save money by using oil instead of coal for fuel because of the lengthy periods of time when the building is unoccupied and consequently not in need of too much heat. Recommendations on this matter will be forthcoming as the study of the situation progresses.
136
TOWN OF MILFORD
The wooden fence separating the school property from the properties facing on School Street is in need of replacement. It is recommended that a wire fence be erected in place of the existing wooden fence.
Spruce Street School
As was recommended last year a new heating and ventilat- ing system was installed in this school. This new system includes a steam boiler, oil burner, and univents and is providing the pupils with a greatly needed sanitary, safe, efficient, and econo- mical method of heating the building,
The slate roof on this building is leaking and plans are under way to repair this roof during the coming summer. I re- commend that this repair work be done soon in order to prevent damage to ceilings and walls which would involve additional expense.
The trim on this building needs painting and the windows need to be reputtied. I recommend that this work be done this year in order to prevent greater expenditure of money which would result from delay.
Park School
The approaches to this school building were resurfaced this year according to recommendations. The appearance of the prop- erty has been enhanced considerably by these new walks and a hazardous condition has been eliminated as well.
The roof of this building is in need of replacement and I recommend that a new roof be installed during the next summer vacation.
The interior of this building is sorely in need of painting. As mentioned previously the rooms are very poorly lighted and a badly needed paint job would improve the entire classroom at- mosphere.
Plains School
Upon recommendation of the School Committee and through the cooperation of the Selectmen the old Plains Annex building was dismantled, removed, the cellar was filled in and the area graded.
The approaches to the remaining building in use are in need of replacement because they are under water during a large portion of the winter and spring seasons. In order for children to enter the school property from the East Main Street side during stormy
137
REPORTS OF TOWN OFFICERS
seasons, it is necessary for them to walk in water several inches deep or to walk in snow banked on the sides of the walk.
I recommend that a new walk be installed, elevated to such a height as to be useable by pupils regardless of weather con- ditions.
Chapin Street School
The approaches to this building have been improved by the installation of new surfaces on the walks. At present writing the driveway on Chapin Street side of building is being raised so as to facilitate entrance of coal trucks or other vehicles.
The exterior of the Chapin Street School is in need of a touch up and one coat paint job, and I recommend that this work be done during the summer of 1949.
Purchase Street School
A new roof has been installed on this building this year and the exterior of the building has been repainted. There are no major items of repair or maintenance necessary at the Purchase Street School that are forseeable in the near future.
Oliver Street and Claflin Schools
No major repair work was done in these buildings this past year although the interiors of both buildings have not been painted for many, many years.
I repeat the recommendation of last year that the interior of the Oliver and Claflin Schools be redecorated when funds are made available.
The walks adjacent to the sides and rear of the Oliver Street School are in bad condition and it is recommended that repairs be made to rectify this unsafe and unsightly situation.
South School
No major repair work was done and there are no items of an important nature that are needed immediately.
West Street School
In accordance with recommendation made last year a new roof was installed on this building. This building was not in use for the past two years, but rather than allow it to deteriorate un- reasonably the School Committee deemed it expedient to protect the building by placing a new roof on it.
In the event that enrollment figures justify the re-opening of this building next Fall, certain minor repairs will be necessary.

TOWN OF MILFORD
GENERAL
School Yards
Again I must call your attention to the unsatisfactory condi- tions of practically all the play surfaces at our schools. In con- sonance with the recommendation made last year I am happy to report that it is planned to resurface one yard next summer and, if this operation proves satisfactory and successful, steps will be taken to resurface one yard each year until all are in proper condition.
Street Markings
Again this year street markings were painted on sidewalks and crossings in the vicinity of all schools as a traffic safety measure. This work was done by the various custodians of our buildings.
Parking Regulations
The matter of restricting vehicular parking in the immediate vicinity of our schools is also under way. Signs have been pro- cured and are being installed by our custodians with the valuable assistance of Highway Surveyor Carroll and the men of his de- partment.
Maintenance and Repairs
Again I remind citizens and taxpayers of the wisdom and soundness of keeping your school property in good condition. Your school buildings are worth almost a million dollars and it is ob- vius that you must expend reasonable sums of money annually for maintenance and repair if you are to protect the enormous investment which you have in your school property. Again I recommend to the School Committee and to the townspeople that adequate funds be appropriated annually for the proper main- tenance and repair of school property.
PERSONNEL
RETIREMENT
Miss Mary B. Ford, head of the Mathematics Department, and teacher of chemistry and mathematics at Milford High School retired from her duties in June of this year.
Miss Ford spent the major portion of her life as a member of the High School faculty and her influence on the development of students during two generations was outstanding. We regret

Music by: Anthony Joseph Volpe All hail to thee, O Milford High! Commencement Day is here. As we go forth with our heads held high, Your name echoes proud and clear. We're saddened to leave thy halls today, But we're forced to break our ties. Let this be our motto, come what may: "In ourselves our future lies."
As we depart on chosen ways, We think of years gone by. You have brightened them with happy days Which we cherish with a sigh. We'll always remember what you've taught, and And we soon shall realize That Truth is hidden within this thought: "In ourselves our future lies."

REPORTS OF TOWN OFFICERS
Report of your Library Trustees
The Trustees of the Milford Town Library submit the follow- ing report for the year 1948.
The Trustees express their thanks to the Commonwealth Di- vision of Public Libraries for conducting a one week summer session in modern library procedure. This course was attended by Librarian Comba and Mrs. Morgan and Mrs. Rooney of the Staff. The session was held at Simmons College.
Thanks is again expressed to the Milford Daily News for publishing the column entitled "New Books at the Milford Town Library."
To the American Legion, Sgt. John W. Powers Post No. 59, our gratitude for their financial contribution toward the beginning of a scholarly American History section in the Library.
The Trustees acknowledge the kind bequest of books from the late Sarah E. Sheldon of Milford.
Your attention is called to the return to the Town of $500.00 from the appropriation for general expenses. Although the annual appropriation for general expenses is not sufficient for the Milford Town Library to approximate even the minimum standards set by the American Library Association for towns the size of Milford, the Trustees are returning the money because the work and pur- pose for which it was obtained, namely the installation of a new book charging system, was not carried out during the year.
The Chairman of the Trustees calls your attention to the Librarian's report which follows, describing in detail the facilities offered by the Library and the activities which were carried out during the past year.
Frederick H. Gould, CHAIRMAN.

TOWN OF MILFORD
BAR
Report of your Town Librarian
To the Trustees of the Milford Town Library:
Gentlemen:
I submit the following report for the year ending December 31, 1948.
The records of the Milford Town Library show that we have 23,281 books in the Library. 422 of these were added in 1948 and 35 rebound.
The Library was open 286 days this year.
American Library Association Standards are a guide as to a rating from a financial standard.
For limited or minimum service $1.50 per capita
For reasonably good service $2.25 per capita
For superior service $3.00 per capita
Milford's population is 15,801 (1945 Census). The general expense amount granted for the year 1948 was $1,800.00 while the salary appropriation was $6,822.64 plus the Dog Tax of $1,760.22, making the total of salaries and expenses $10,383.36 or an allowance of 66 per cent per capita.
This Annual Report is a record of the year's accomplishment and the librarian in this report will attempt to completely and as briefly explain what we have attempted to accomplish at this library.
Appreciation is extended by the librarian to all those who have helped during the year. Newspaper publicity, the co-operation of those in the school system, the kindnesses of many of our patrons in gifts and service is greatly appreciated. To the staff, may the librarian express her gratitude for their assistance and help ex- tended to her in any way. To the Trustees, the librarian wishes to express her appreciation for their assistance and support.
Bequests to the Milford Town Library are not too many. Mary Twain wrote "A public library is the most enduring of
151
REPORTS OF TOWN OFFICERS
memorials. The trustieth monument for the preservation of an event or a name or an affection." Won't you consider helping us if your situation in life affords it ?
Binding is at present, a problem because of the high cost. Many of our books need rebinding but the expense has been pro- hibitive.
Book Marks. Through the courtesy of the Milford Savings Bank a generous supply of book marks were given to the Library. This is splendid co-operation.
