Mr. L. A. Merritt,
Superintendent of Schools,
Williamsburg, Mass.
Dear Sir:
I have the pleasure of submitting the following report as school physician for the Williamsburg High and Grade Schools.
The students were given their annual physical examination with the assistance of Mrs. John O. Jones, the school nurse, at the Center School building. Except for the usual proportion of en- larged tonsils and cervical glands, very few glaring defects were found. We often wish, however, that the simple rule, chin in, chest out and abdomen in were more easily remembered.
It is expected that the candidates for the basketball squads will be more thoroughly examined at a later date.
A number of cases of chicken pox developed this fall, most of them in the two lower grades, and a mild epidemic occured. It is usually said that chiken pox is so mild that no special precautions are necessary. With this we cannot entirely agree as one often sees children quite ill with this disease, especially at this time of year.
Respectfully submitted,
JOSEPH R. HOBBS, M. D.

Selectmen's Report
Your Selectmen herewith submit the following report:
The Board organized on February 2nd, and elected L. B. San- derson, Chairman, and Oakley Ames, Clerk. Meetings have been held every Monday night. The following officials were re-appointed: L. C. Wales as Superintendent of Bridges and Fences; Mr. Albert Lawton, Inspector of Barns, Animals and Meats; F. A. Shumway, Inspector of Dairies; C. K. Hathaway, Fire Chief and Forest Warden; George H. Bisbee as Sealer of Weights and Measures; B. L. Dobbs as Moth Superintendent; L. H. Cranson as Fish and Game Garden; and L. H. Cranson as Highway Superintendent.
During the past year we have been able to sponsor and get ap- proved, WPA projects-one on a water main on Vilage Hill Avenue, which has been completed, and another on the Recreation Field in Haydenville, which is not as yet quite completed, due to the freez- ing of the ground. We are informed, however, that we can re-open the project as soon as the land is ready in the Spring. We are at the present time working under a Highway Improvement Project, which includes several of our secondary roads, and we expect the work to continue until the frost is out of the ground. We feel that these highway improvement projects are very beneficial to our out- lying districts and a permanent benefit.
After much consideration a new fire truck was purchased which we believe will prove very satisfactory, and the equal of any fire truck owned by a town of this size in this part of the State.
A new sidewalk was laid on the ast side of Main Street in Williamsburg, which we feel was much needed, and greatly appre- ciated.
Our Chapter 90 monies this year were used in building a new concrete bridge on Mountain Street, which the State Engineering Department recommended to be done before we improved the High- way through that section.
Again this year we did not find it necessary to obtain any short terms loans to carry on the affairs of the town.
We wish to take this opportunity to extend to the Finance Com- mittee and all other Town Officials, our appreciation of the fine co- operation which we have received from them during the past year.
