REPORT OF OVERSEERS OF THE POOR
Your Board of Overseers make the following report: The expense of the department has been much larger the past year than usual. We were obliged to make ex- tensive improvements in the Almshouse. The building has been newly papered and painted from top to bottom. One new bath room added on the second floor, and new bath room fixtures on the lower floor,. new windows in dining room, and quite an amount of bedding and household requirements furnished. There are some repairs needed on the stable that will be attended to this spring.
There are six inmates at the present time with an aver- age of five for the year. We have from time to time outside cases to aid within the limits of the town for which we are temporarily liable, and for which we should be reimbursed by other cities and towns. Therefore it is hard to estimate with any degree of accuracy the amount required to run the de- partment. The expense the past year will be found under the financial report.
Respectfully submitted,
SIDNEY C. SOULE WENDELL PHILLIPS ALFRED E. GREEN Overseers of the Poor.

TOWN DUMP
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and Citizens of Duxbury :
Greetings :
I feel that it is necessary to the vote of the town to re- port to you of the workings of the public dump on Mayflower Street. The dump has been a fire hazard and disreputable looking place for some years. I was appointed by the select- men to correct abuses and regulate the use of that interesting spot. I have endeavored to reduce the fire hazard there and keep it looking respectable, but it is a herculean job with small funds and lack of interest by the users of the dump. There has been very little sunshine in this job. I have en- deavored to adjust things there so that it will be easy and convenient to get rid of rubbish and I most humbly beg of you when using it to use sense and courtesy, in other words apply the Golden Rule and the town of Duxbury will have a beauty spot instead of a disgusting spectacle.
Respectfully submitted,
H. E. MERRY.
80
REPORT OF FIRE CHIEF
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and Citizens of Duxbury :
Greetings :
We have been very fortunate this year in regard to building fires. A number of small chimney fires, three large fires, two buildings were practically destroyed before dis- covered, the other which was of incendiary origin was saved and the state police are now conducting a rigid investigation that I sincerely hope will bear fruit. The apparatus is in good condition. I have had two sirens installed; one at the num- ber two, one at the number three engine house with a clock device attached which makes a very satisfactory fire alarm.
A system of covering in between adjoining towns and this town has been worked out which gives this town ample security. Co-operation between towns is very essential. Some system of drilling will be worked out in the near future and brought before the town meeting for your approval.
Respectfully submitted,
H. E. MERRY, Chief.
81
REPORT OF FOREST FIRE WARDEN
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and Citizens of Duxbury :
Greetings :
I am about to report to you a record for forest fires. I have tried each year since in office for a similar report but did not obtain it. Namely : no forest fires. A number of small grass fires but not a dollar's worth of property destroyed as far as I know. That is due to various reasons. The care in which our citizens handle their permit fires, the patrol on the streets Sundays and holidays, the prompt response of the firemen and the splendid co-operation with our telephone ex- change which I consider the most important of any branch of our co-operation plan. I cannot speak too highly of the in- telligent service we get from that source. This town assisted other towns in a number of serious fires this past year and by so doing added laurels to the name of Duxbury as the fire- men were very highly commended for their splendid work in each and every instance. Again I urge upon you to post your wayside property with "No trespass" signs. They can be procured from me as I have them at my office. That gives the patrol a right to so protect you. Ninety per cent of our fires are from the picnic source and I earnestly ask you to help me in your so doing. Again thanking you for your splendid help and co-operation in all branches of this service.
Respectfully submitted
H. E. MERRY, Forest Warden.
REPORT OF MOTH DEPARTMENT
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen.
Gentlemen :
I submit the following report of moth work since last report. Continued creosoting on roadsides until May 29. It was then time to start spraying trees. Finished up this work and put machines under cover the last of June. Work was again started Sept. 21, creosoting the roadside trees which I am still doing. Conditions all over town so far are not very bad. Most of the roadsides in the northern and western parts of the town have been creosoted. And I have treated to date 12,800 egg clusters.
Respectfully submitted
JOHN D. MORRISON, Local Superintendent.
TREE WARDEN'S REPORT
To the Citizens of Duxbury :
The work in this department this year consisted of wa- tering and mulching some sick trees and cutting out dead limbs. The maple trees that were sprayed with Lime Sulphur last year looked well this year. It seems a shame in a town like Duxbury with all the good shade trees we have and no money to give them the proper care and the way some of the trees have been abused by some jazz tree trimmer cutting limbs off with an axe.
Respectfully submitted, 1
JOHN D. MORRISON,
Tree Warden ..

REPORT OF ZONING COMMITTEE
February 3, 1926
To the Citizens of Duxbury :
The Committee on Zoning have prepared a by-law pur- suant to the action of the meeting of March 7, 1925, a copy of which by-law was mailed to the home of each voter last August. Additional copies may be obtained at the home of the chairman of this Committee. This by-law was drafted after a great deal of study and investigation. It is proposed to bring up the question of adoption of this by-law, (as orig- inally written) at the annual meeting in March, 1926.
It is hoped that the by-law will be adopted. If the by- law is not adopted, it is hoped that provision will be made for continuing the work with the idea of getting a modifica- tion agreeable to all parts of the town. The committee believe that Duxbury cannot afford to delay taking some action, be- fore it is too late, to provide some system and order in the development of the community. Such protection will make your property more valuable and make Duxbury a better place to live in. You would probably not notice any curtail- ment of your liberties whatever.
ZONING COMMITTEE,
By Percy L. Walker, Chairman.
