Our retail dealers can be highly commended for their . protection from contamination, which fact is certainly an asset to the town. In every community there is an element who will buy cheap and unwholesome foods if offered for sale, which fact is the reason and necessity of maintaining health agencies. The inspector can truthfully state that our markets are clean.
The activities of our local health board has attracted wide attention during the past few years for its efforts in behalf of a clean supply for our milk consuming citizens. Authorities on the subject of clean milk from many cities and towns and from points outside of New England have become interested in our results and methods employed and the work has been highly commended.
Our local milk supply is now being tested eight times during the year and more often if necessary. These ex- aminations are made on samples taken at unstated times from the trucks in process of delivery. The milk is ex- amined for its content as follows : Fat, Bacteria, Sediment, and a miscroscopical examination is made to detect danger- ous matter caused by an abnormal condition of the udders.
The following standard is required: Milk must contain
88
not less than 3.35% of fat. The bacteria shall not be above 33,000 to the c.c. There shall be no sediment. The mi- croscope shall show no impurities.
To the credit of our producers it can be stated that this standard, with few exceptions due to the fact that the pro- ducer selling but two or three quarts daily has no facilities for properly sterilizing the glass bottles and proper cool- ing of the milk as soon as it is drawn from the cow, is being maintained. The large dealers, having proper cooling and sterilizing implements, have no trouble in meeting these requirements. Some of these large dealers are distributing milk in Westborough which contains but a count of 200 bacteria to the c. c.
A card showing the result of these tests is forwarded to the dealer immediately after the examination is made, with suggestions, should it not meet the requirements. These cards are sent in a spirit of helpfulness and not in an at- tempt to coerce.
Westborough should be proud of its milk supply, for your children's health is safeguarded as are few town in the country.
During the year, after proper inspection, there have been issued twenty-three permits to sell milk in Massachusetts by the Mass. Milk Regulation Board. This inspection has to be made annually in June by the local inspector and reported at once. It includes a complete picture of the condition of the cattle, stables, milk rooms, water supply, drainage, light, ventilation, refrigeration, even to the milk- ing stools. The local Board of Health can issue permits to produce milk only after all of these conditions have been complied with.
June 1st of each year the local Board of Health issues licenses and permits to produce, sell milk at wholesale and retail, and to stores, restaurants and taverns and clubs.

Highway Department
CHAPTER 81
Chapter 81 funds are comprised of equal sums of money contributed by the town and the state. The amounts are determined on a per mile basis and are budgeted against the various types of work under maintenance.
The important item is the road surface itself so that as much money as possible is expended for tar and oil treat- ments. Such work as brush cutting and roadside clearing falls into secondary consideration.
As has been the policy of the Massachusetts Department of Public Works in the past, the aim is to treat some new section each year with a binder of bitumen. This summer we were able to develop with gravel and treat, sections of Mill road, Otis street, Bellows road and Washington street. If this could be continued it would not only improve traffic conditions but would reduce the cost of maintenance on unimproved highways
CHAPTER 90 - MAINTENANCE
Cooperating with the Department of Public Works the usual maintenance program was carried out on approxi- mately 10 miles of street built with Chapter 90 funds,
91
where state, county and town contribute shares.
A part of the money is used for drainage, brush re- moval, slope clearance, and the like but the main part goes for surface treating. Binders used with pea-stone to pro- vide a non skid surface are proving feasible and very practical. Some of the first sections of construction are showing traffic wear and it is very important to renew the seal before water and frost are allowed to do their damage.
SNOW
Snow expenditures throughout this commonwealth are no longer moneys spent for snow removal, in itself, but rather an aim to provide safe travel for the motorist dur- ing the winter months. All our operations, including fence, sand, and equipment, when analyzed, are necessary to communication as we understand it today, but inter- 'woven with all this is the all important factor of accident elimination.
.Due to our proximity to the turnpike, we find the de- mands of the motorist necessitate our carrying out work on a par with the Department of Public Works. For in- stance, a resident does not feel that he wants to apply chains for our town conditions and then remove them as he enters the state road, replacing them on his return home.
A considerable movement is underway at this time by all interested officials to have some portion of the gasoline tax money refunded to the towns and cities on a per mile basis to take care of this work and relieve the burden that falls on the community today.
HIGHWAYS AND BRIDGES
These funds include no outside money and are used for the incidental department expenses. We have some general
92
work not covered by the specific budget expenditures of state funds that may be taken care of here.
There are, of course, some unforseen jobs that must be attended to immediately as was the Cobbs bridge on Milk street. Here the old 10 x 12 carrying timbers were found rotting out underneath and they were replaced and a new decking applied.
Our general spring cleanup as well as the care of the grass plots in the square are taken care of by this account.
TOWN DUMP
We are trying with the funds alloted to improve the facilities for disposal of waste and to control the fire hazard at the town dump. New fence was erected which should help considerably to eliminate the waste paper nuisance on the street.
It was with deep regret that we faced the sudden death of Mr. Ellsworth Graves. He had served the town effici- ently and faithfully in the humble role of caretaker, and not only was his passing noted by town officials but also by the many who came in daily contact with his work.
SIDEWALKS
This year along with the repairing, some new sections were laid on Beach, Church, Whitney, Prospect and Or- chard streets, but a larger plan must be undertaken each year if we are to meet the sidewalk problem.
The program of laying cement by the W. P. A. has taken care of the immediate business section, but there are many residential streets without even a gravel walk.
A major portion of the system could be handled with the less expensive type of hot asphalt walks. They are not as dangerous with snow and ice and are elastic enough to
93
withstand frost and tree root disturbances.
I would recommend that more work be undertaken on our sidewalks for the coming year.
Respectfully submitted, ROBERT B. JOHNSON.
APPENDAGE : That public recognition be given to the members of this department who have so generously re- sponded to appeals for blood donors during the past year ; I extend the heartfelt thanks of many of our community.

Cemeteries
TO THE HONORABLE BOARD OF SELECTMEN :
We are happy to report that in addition to keeping our Cemeteries in excellent condition, all work resulting from the hurricane has been completed, having removed the bal- ance of tree stumps from Pine Grove and Midland Ceme- teries as well as completing the Tomb.
We have also added 1,100 feet of copper bearing steel fence in Pine Grove Cemetery.
Respectfully, JAMES S. HUNTER, Chairman. NATHAN E. ANDREWS. PAUL F. BRIGHAM. WILLIAM H. SANFORD. E. IRVING HULBERT, Clerk.

Selectmen's Report
TO THE CITIZENS OF THE TOWN OF WESTBOROUGH :
In the early part of 1940 an application was received from Alan Gray Holmes for a license to operate a Summer Theatre in the Town Hall and after much consideration a license was issued for the summer months and the price fixed at $85.00 per week. with the provision the electric light bill and the janitor service was to be paid by Mr. Holmes. As no heat was required during the period of time that the hall was rented we feel that the Town benefited greatly, as $891.00 was received for this rent.
We also feel that the Town derived much free adver- tising on account of the theatre being located in this Town and that many of the townspeople also benefited to a great extent because of the actors being housed in the Town. It was reported by Mr. Holmes that during their stay in Westboro they played to approximately 30,000 people and it can be assumed that a considerable revenue was taken in from these people by the merchants.
We feel sure that the people of Westboro will welcome the Summer Theatre for the year 1941.
We are asking for an additional amount in the Town Hall appropriation for 1941 to finish the interior painting of the Town Hall, which was started in 1939. This will consist mainly of painting the main auditorium.
This year we feel certain that Chapter 90 construction will be available for the Town of Westborough and we have
96
already asked the State to contribute $20,000. We have also asked the County to contribute $10,000 and we are asking that the Town appropriate $5,000 for this work to go with the $5,000 balance already on hand as our share to finish West Main street.
The parking lot on the east side of the Town Hall, for which an appropriation was made in 1940, was completed by the Superintendent of Streets and has been used to great advantage. It is noted that many of the merchants are now parking their cars in this lot.
For the cooperation given us in the past year by the various department heads, we wish to express our sincere thanks.
Respectfully submitted,
WENDELL F. HAYWARD, CHRISTOPHER J. TYRRELL, ELMER W. BENNETT, Selectmen of the Town of Westborough.

Water and Sewer Commissioners
The Water Commissioners respectfully submit the follow- ing report for the year ending Dec. 31, 1940.
Number of active services 941
Number of meters. 850
Number of hydrants 145
Miles of water main 32
Nine new services were installed during the year. Twenty-seven old services were renewed. A total of 2068 feet of service pipe was laid. Copper pipe was used in nearly all cases.
The W. P. A. Water Survey started in 1939 was com- pleted. The survey gives the department, for the first time, maps of the entire system, card index of each main gate and each hydrant location. An individual card for each service gives the location of the service shut-off, the size and type of pipe used.
The commissioners are asking for an increase in the ap- propriation for 1941. The funds are to be used to purchase additional meters, increase the stock of service pipe and fittings, hydrants, gate valves and service equipment. More money is needed for maintenance on the watershed, for with the purchase of the Heath and Billings' land in 1935, the area to be maintained was doubled. The number of services to be renewed is increasing each year. In 1937,
100
1,035 feet of service pipe was laid; in 1940, 2,068 feet laid. Respectfully submitted, CHARLES A. KIMBALL, ELMER W. BENNETT, MAURICE C. LAMB, Water Commissioners.
The Sewer Commissioners respectfully submit the follow- ing report for the year ending Dec. 31, 1940.
Number of services 619
Miles of main sewers 8
Number of filter beds. 14
Total acres of filter beds acres
Four new services were connected with the main sewers during the year.
We are asking for an increase in the 1941 appropriation. The area of the filter beds prior to the construction of the new beds in 1930 was about five and one-half acres. The average yearly appropriation for the department was $4600. Since 1930 the filter bed area has been seven acres and the average yearly appropriation $4000.
The commissioners are asking for a special appropriation of $2500 to resurface four of the filter beds. With the removal of sludge from the beds, some of the fine gravel and sand are also taken. The beds are now from four to six inches below their original level. We believe the sum asked will clean and supply sufficient sand to get the beds to their original level. This work will greatly increase the efficiency of the beds resurfaced and should continue yearly until all beds are resurfaced.
Respectfully submitted, CHARLES A. KIMBALL, ELMER W. BENNETT, MAURICE C. LAMB, Sewer Commissioners.

Report of Tree Warden
Last year this department received two appropriations ; $400.00 at the March town meeting and $400.00 at the September special meeting.
The first appropriation was used for the removal of broken limbs, low dangerous branches and dead wood and this money by no means covered the trees of the town.
The appropriation in September was used for the removal of several trees and the complete prunning of many others.
Since there are many more trees that need prunning a more substantial appropriation is needed this year to carry on this work.
I, therefore, recommend that a larger sum be appropri- ated this year to take care of the remaining streets out of the center and the outlying districts which have been ne- glected in the past.
GEORGE E. HAYDEN,
Tree Warden.

Report of Board of Fire Engineers
This department responded to 17 box alarms and 68 still alarms during the year of 1940.
The assessed value of buildings in which fire occurred was $22,831.00. The estimated value of the contents of these buildings was $23,600.00. The insurance paid on buildings was $4,676.40. The insurance paid on contents was $2,572.60.
WILLIAM C. BLOIS, DANIEL P. MOYNIHAN, GEORGE F. HIGGINS, Board of Fire Engineers.
REPORT OF FOREST WARDEN
During the year of 1940 this department responded to 87 calls for grass and brush fires, all of which were of small area. I believe this is due to the help received from the fire tower in spotting the fires and also due to prompt response of the men at the fire station.
I wish to caution the people about the use of incinerators in back yards during the windy spring months, because many of our calls are from this cause and only quick hard work on the part of our men saved several houses this year. Wire incinerators are very dangerous at any time.
WILLIAM C. BLOIS,
Forest Warden.
