We would also call your attention to the expenditures of the board for the year. Of the appropriation of $750 for the work of the department, $9.10 weekly, or $473 for the year has been paid for the maintenance of a tubercular patient at the County hospital. This amount is eventually refunded to the Treasury of the town, by the state, but not credited to the Health account nor is it further available for their use. The board is glad at all times to answer questions or impart such information as they may have. Below is a list of communicable diseases as reported for the year :
Measles,
37
Whooping Cough,
13
Mumps,
3
Chicken Pox,

STREET DEPARTMENT.
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and Citizens of Duxbury : Gentlemen :
The work on the streets during the past year has been ac- complished under much difficulty, owing to lack of labor and high cost of the work and materials.
The general highways were put in fairly good condition, repairs being done on all of them, also new guide posts have been replaced where needed and the signs newly painted.
Patching and repairs being needed on all the stone roads, it was attended to, also three miles covered with a seal coat.
There being no appropriation for the maintaining of stone roads, the cost of this work has to be taken from the Highway appropriation.
On the new construction work, over three miles of sand and asphalt road was built. Some of the material purchased did not prove satisfactory and samples of the material and road have. been taken by the State Highway Commission to be analyzed,. to locate what the trouble is. A seal coat was applied to the surface of the road and at the present time seems to be standing; all right.
There are over 300 barrels of asphalt and 15 tons of coal on hand to commence the Spring work. The machinery is also in good condition.
Respectfully submitted, EDWARD S. O'NEIL, Superintendent of Streets.

REPORT OF FOREST WARDEN.
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and Citizens of Duxbury, Greetings :--
We have had a number of small grass and brush fires, but the prompt call and response of the firemen have kept the area burned over very small.
We will have two small trucks loaded with extinguishers and water, one at Herrick's garage and one at Cushing's garage, also the usual fire wagons and my Deputy Wardens are awake to the fact that fires should be fought while small.
In anticipation of the Plymouth celebration and co-operating with the state, we have cleaned up a fire break around Captain's Hill-one of the most beautiful spots in America.
This town is highly spoken of at the State House for their efficiency in fighting forest fires and I wish to thank you all for your co-operation in fire prevention. Any suggestion you care to make at any time I will be very grateful for, as we all want this a fireless town if possible.
Respectfully submitted,
H. E. MERRY, Forest Warden.

REPORT OF TREE WARDEN, 1920.
Citizens :
The work in this department has been trimming and cutting out limbs on the following streets, Myrtle, St. George, Powder Point avenue, Alden, Depot, Chestnut and Standish. There are lots of trees all over town that should be trimmed. But this department only had $100.00 and I did the best I could with same.
Respectfully submitted, JOHN D. MORRISON, Tree Warden.
REPORT OF CEMETERY TRUSTEES FOR 1920.
A much traveled gentleman came to a trustee in charge of the work in Mayflower Cemetery and said, "I want to purchase a lot here. (Which he did.) I have been over many burial grounds in England and America and I have not seen so fine a church yard! You do not realize what you have." Within the enclosure of twenty-six acres are seven thousand burials and more than a thousand trees. To this may be added six acres on the south side of Mayflower street as yet undeveloped. Continuing on there is eight acres adjoining that is owned by the Rural Society, making an unbroken front from the William Freeman place, so-called, nearly to Bailey's Corner. It is in- tended to make extensive improvements on grounds in front of the Public Buildings and at same time the Cemetery should improve the corner and approach to the main gate.
A ladies committee have advised us they would pay for repairs on some of the old stones in addition to cleaning and repairs to the Dr. Allen monument, which has been neglected for many years.
-59-
At Standish Burial Ground there has been a fence built on two sides, this furnishes the foundary of the lot. The cost for the material and labor was several hundred dollars, a large por- tion of which was subscribed by the members of the Golf Club and a few citizens, to which the Standish Monument Society added enough to complete the work. Much credit is due them for their generosity, as is also to Trustee White, who took charge of the subscription and supervised the work. There is need of repairs of graves and stones and the enclosure of the Miles Standish lot. It ought to be regraded and sown down to grass and such an arrangement made as would keep the public out. One of our oldest citizens of old Pilgrim stock takes a great interest and looks after the welfare of the grounds, as evidenced by this story told by him recently-Seeing some half-grown girls fixing stones at the Standish grave markers, he said to them, "What are you doing? If you don't know any better than that you had better go home and have your mothers teach you !" The girl said: "O mother don't care, she got a piece here yes- terday !"
The appropriation for 1920 was the same amount as that of 1919. But the rate of labor per day increased 33 per cent., which cost us one hundred days work with the result we could not do the raking of leaves in the fall and will have to be done this Spring at an increased cost. Other work needed is trim- ming trees, painting fences at all of the four cemeteries and regrading corners.
We feel and ask you to appropriate for cemetery use not less than two thousand dollars for the year of 1921.
Respectfully,
CEMETERY TRUSTEES OF DUXBURY.

REPORT OF CHIEF OF FIRE DEPT., DUXBURY.
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and Citizens of Duxbury, Greetings :
I am very thankful to say that we have had very few house fires in the past year. A number of small ones and two (2) chimney fires and two (2) in which the houses were totally destroyed. At one of these fires we lost two (2) of our most highly esteemed citizens. It is the first time in my capacity as chief to have any loss of lives in a fire. We will never know how or why this happened but it was a very tragic ending for people of their years.
The apparatus is in good condition. The old Ford still r'ambles along and puts out fires.
I am glad to see No. 1 Engine Company has taken a new lease of life and if I am any judge No. 2 will hear from them very shortly and it will not be a whist tournament either.
I wish to impress on your minds how essential it is to have your chimneys in good condition and kept clean. In case of chimney fires, plain baking soda or salt is the best thing to use.
Thanking the firemen for their loyalty to me in the past year,
Respectfully submitted,
H. E. MERRY, Chief.
REPORT OF TRUSTEES OF DUXBURY FREE LIBRARY To the Selectmen :-
The Duxbury Free Library has been more extensively used during the past year than ever before. The names on the register at present number 3482, and there has been issued since January 1st, 1920, as many as 13,488 books. Of these 2896 were non-fiction. The Librarian has had on exhibition the
-61-
Pilgrim relics owned by the Library, and during the year a collection of children's books were placed on view. The basket delivery to the six out-stations, North Duxbury, South Dux- bury, Ashdod, High Street, Island Creek and Tarkiln Gram- mar School have been continued. The usefulness of the Library to these out-stations, and to the residents of Duxbury as well, will shortly be further increased by the publication of a new catalogue which is complete to date, and now ready for the printer. The number of new books added to the Library by purchase was 149, and 64 were received by gift.
RICHARD T. LORING, Clerk.
PROPOSED RE-LAYOUT OF PORTER SHORE ROADS.
In 1901, the part of the Standish Shore known as Porter Shore Lots was laid out, and a plan put on record with the Plymouth deeds, Plan Book 1, Page 227. This plan shows Puritan Road and the four parallel roads from it to the shore, Elder Brewster, Samoset, Sagamore and Massasoit. Some of the lots were sold.
Two years later, Columbus Avenue was cut through; the unsold lots were changed in size and renumbered as shown on a revised plan on record in Plan Book 2, Page 290.
The town accepted Columbus Avenue, and the portions of the four parallel roads between it and the water in 1907, and last year accepted the westerly part of Massasoit Road and the part of Puritan Road south of it.
Meanwhile, fragmentary surveys have been made as lots were sold and houses built.
It is now found that there is a shortage of land of about twelve feet in length, measured along Columbus Avenue, and endless discrepancies between the different surveys of lots, the worst being caused by some starting from the north boundary and some from the south.
-- 62-
The confusion is so great, intensified by the actual lack of 6,000 square feet or more, that after a consultation with many owners and their petition for a new layout, the Select- men have had a new survey made in the hopes that, by the town giving up a portion of its roads and changing their lines slightly, and by mutual concessions of the owners, an equitable solution may be obtained.
It must be remembered that the roads have so far not been changed, and no bounds moved. The new bounds merely show the result of the present survey, only to become final in case of acceptance.
The old bounds on the shore indicated the street lines, but not their eastern extremeties.
In the new survey each block between the parallel roads is made the full 220 feet wide, and the shore bounds give the full distances called for by the plans and deeds, so that each owner will get his lot of the size bought, though in some cases it will be in a slightly different position from the one he claimed.
The survey does not mark the divisions of the blocks into individual lots.
