As usual the other Town departments have been very co-operative and have helped whenever there was any opportunity. Particularly this applies to the Fire and Highway Departments without whose help our ap- propriation would have to be higher or our field would not be as well kept and ready.

This year we were able to hot-top one tennis court and we hope to do another in 1953 if we get the neces- sary money.
One walk was put in from Walnut Street through Town Park and we want to put another from Congress Street to Spruce Street as this is badly needed.
The comfort station was entirely done over in 1952 only to have it almost demolished by the youngsters for whom it is maintained. Unless drastic steps are taken, we shall have to close it.
We wish to thank all the various departments for their help and cooperation through the year.
Respectfully submitted,

Christmas Town Lighting
Honorable Board of Selectmen, Milford, Mass.
Gentlemen :
We respectfully submit our report of the expendi- tures and results for the Christmas Town Lighting for 1952.
The amount of $1,300.00 was appropriated at the March Town Meeting.
Your committee awarded the contract to the only bidder, the Rubenstein Electric Supply Co., in the amount of $1,280.00. An additional expenditure of $19.60 was approved for new colored electric light bulbs.
We wish to thank the Milford Police Department, under the supervision of Chief William F. Fitzpatrick, and Mr. David I. Davoren, Chairman of the Christmas Lighting Committee for the Mercantile Bureau, for their splendid assistance in making, what we believe, Milford one of the best lighted and decorated towns in the state, during the Christmas Season.

To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and Citizens of the Town of Milford:
The Planning Board respectfully submits the follow- ing report for the year ending December 31, 1952.
The Board held bi-monthly meetings during the year and considered numerous matters for the betterment and advancement of the Town. It had under considera- tion and made disposition of several plans for land de- velopment and sub-divisions.
